Closing piston 5 can be lowered under the influence of the weight of solids in the separating chamber 4 so that solids are ejected through annular opening 19 and into annular gap 18. The closing piston 5 can then be raised to close the opening 19. Thereafter the pumping piston 7 can be raised to pump the ejected solids upwardly in the annular gap 18 for discharge of the solids over the lip 3a. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
Self cleaning centrifugal drum for separating solids from a liquid constructed for the periodic removal of solids separated from the liquid comprising: a.
a rotating drum housing, a closing piston disposed in the lower part of the housing, and a separating plate disposed in the upper part of the housing, the closing piston and separating plate defining a separating chamber for said separation, and are disposed radially inwardly of the housing so as to define an annular gap between the housing and the closing piston and separating plate, b.
a pumping piston disposed in lower part of the drum encompassing the closing piston and extending upwardly into the annular gap, means defining a closing piston control chamber between the pistons and means defining a pumping piston control chamber between the pumping piston and the bottom of the housing, and c.
means for supplying and discharging control liquid to the control chambers for supplying control liquid to the closing piston control chamber for raising the closing piston into sealing relation with the separating plate and lowering the closing piston, in response to weight of the solids in the drum, for discharge of solids from the separating chamber into the annular gap, and for raising the pumping piston only after and while the closing piston is in said sealing relation for pumping of solids discharged into the annular gap, upwardly in the annular gap, and for lowering the pumping piston below the lower level of the separating plate for permitting the discharge of solids into the annular gap.
2.
Centrifugal drum according to claim 1, wherein the control chambers are in communication adjacent the drum axis.
3.
Centrifugal drum according to claim 1, the means for supplying control liquid being for supplying control liquid to the closing piston control chamber, the control chambers being in communication adjacent the drum axis for overflow of control liquid from the closing piston control chamber of the pumping piston control chamber
