Abstract
An outlet device of a solid bowl centrifuge for separating a multi-phase material is arranged on an end wall of a centrifuge bowl that rotates about a longitudinal axis. An outlet opening is formed in the end wall and has a deflecting apparatus configured so that a fluid of the material that has passed through the outlet opening is deflected toward the circumference of the end-wall. The deflecting apparatus has a segment spaced from the longitudinal axis by a segment radius and has a deflecting segment, along which the deflected fluid can be conducted toward the circumference of the end-wall before being thrown off laterally by the outlet device. The outlet device has a guide that brings the deflected fluid to a lower-energy positional potential in the gravitation field of the solid bowl centrifuge before being thrown off by the outlet device.
