Abstract A conical centrifuge for the separation of solid matter and a fluid, comprising a plurality of arcuate, elongated sections grouped together so as to form a rotary truncated conical assembly, each section having a filter, a support for the filter, and a backplate provided with guide fins for the channelling of the fluid passing through the filter, the sections being flanked by, radially extending chambers communicating with the chambers through openings formed in the part of these chambers located opposite the space between the respective supports and backplates, an inlet for admitting fluid carrying solid matter being disposed at the truncated end of the assembly, the inlet communicating with each filter section, the radially extending chambers communicating with each other and with the openings disposed on a corresponding generating line of the truncated assembly for the discharge of treated fluid, the assembly being surrounded by an envelope for receiving the filtered fluid and the solid matter being surrounded by an envelope for receiving the filtered fluid and the solid matter being discharged from the end of larger diameter of the conical assembly.
