| 20100173358 | METHOD FOR OBTAINING A VALUABLE PRODUCT, PARTICULARLY STARCH, FROM GRAIN FLOUR - A process for obtaining a starch and a protein or both from grain flour, the process steps comprising: providing grain flour; mixing the grain flour with processed or fresh water to form a slurry; separating the slurry into it at least two fractions, the at least two fractions including two or more of a heavy A-starch fraction, a protein and B-starch fraction, and a pentosan fraction; and generating a biogas from at least one of the fractions from the separating step, the biogas being used for generating energy. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20090247384 | HELICAL CONVEYOR CENTRIFUGE HAVING A DRIVE DEVICE - A helical conveyor centrifuge, such as a solid-bowl or sieve-bowl centrifuge, includes a rotatable drum, a rotatable screw disposed within the drum, and a centrifuge drive for rotating the drum and the screw. The centrifuge drive is configured to set a differential speed between drum and screw. The centrifuge drive includes a first motor, a second motor, and a gearing arrangement disposed between the motors and also between the drum and the screw. The gearing arrangement includes a gearing arranged downstream of the motors and has a first gear, a second gear and a third gear stage. The first and second gear stages include at least four shafts. Torques are either introduced into or are taken off from the first and second gear stages. The first and second gear stages are disposed in a housing and driven by at least three of the at least four shafts. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20080312060 | Screw-Type Solid Bowl Centrifuge - A screw-type solid-bowl centrifuge including a rotatable drum having a tapering portion and a cylindrical portion. The rotatable screw includes a screw body, at least one main screw blade surrounding the screw body and forming a plurality of screw flights. The plurality of screw flights forms a conveying path configured to transport a material to be processed in the centrifuge. Two blade segments are arranged in the conveying path in portions of the plurality of screw flights. The at least one main screw blade is provided in a region of the blade segments that includes clearances configured to allow a throughflow of the material to be processed to flow between adjacent screw flights. | 12-18-2008 |
