1. Adjustable weir plate (17) for fully encased screw centrifuges, the outer cover (16) of which, located at the liquid outlet end, has a series of discharge openings (15) which are arranged at equal radial spacings from the rotation axis (20) of the casing (11) and are uniformly distributed over the circumference, each of which is covered, in a radially outer region, by a weir plate (17), which a...

In double-winding appliances of the type applied for, two winding units are arranged next to one another with their axes in alignment. In the change from the full bobbin to the empty bobbin, the traversing device travels over and beyond the end flanges of the two bobbins, with the result that the winding operation can be continued on the empty bobbin. Since, where rigid threads are concerned, the ...
