Abstract
A solid bowl centrifuge has a centrifuge bowl that can be rotated in a rotational direction about a longitudinal axis during operation. An end face of the centrifuge bowl has at least one flow-off opening for the flow-off of clarified material from the centrifuge bowl. A dam edge bounds the flow-off opening in the radially outward direction, and an energy recovery device is located on the dam edge for recovering energy of the clarified material flowing. The dam edge is pivoted toward the rotational direction at least in some sections, as viewed from the longitudinal axis.
