Abstract
A centrifuge is disclosed designed either as a solid bowl centrifuge or separator for separating solids/liquids mixtures. A centrifuge drum having an outer jacket is provided with apertures positioned in the jacket. Through the apertures at least a partial discharge of concentrated solids phase occurs thereto. A control device preferably in the form of a disk provides a surface spaced at a small interval from the apertures so as to prevent the flow of solids/liquids through the aperture except when a discontinuity such as a recess or cut-out in the surface occurs so as to allow flow through the aperture.
