1.1.5 The vessel is a stainless steel case mounted on the frame that completely
encloses the bowl. It is divided into compartments that divert the liquid and
solids discharge to their respective outlets. The semi-circular cover is hinged
to allow easy access to the bowl for inspection and maintenance.

1.1.6 A feed tube is shown in Figure 6. Mud is introduced into the centrifuge
through the feed tube Item 185, Diagram 1. This is a stainless steel tube
approximately 2" O.D. and 36" Lg. It extends into the bowl and conveyor
through the hollow shaft on the conical end of the bowl. Mud is pumped into
the tube by the feed pump. The mud leaves the feed tube and enters the bowl
through a slot in the conveyor (See Figure 2 - Conveyor). This slot in the
conveyor extends approximately the length of the conical section.
