A decanter centrifuge has a hollow, rotatable drum with a screw conveyor
comprising a core body (1), in which an inlet opening for material into
the drum from an inlet chamber (3) is provided, the inlet opening having
a delimitation surface (7) which is rear relative to the direction of
rotation and extending substantially axially, said delimitation surface
being provided with a wear reinforcement member (8). The wear
reinforcement member extends along the rear delimitation surface (7) into
the inlet chamber (3). The wear reinforcement member (8) is provided with
abutment surfaces (11; 19) in abutment against abutment surfaces
associated with the core body, which during operation prevents the wear
reinforcement member (8) from moving tangentially forwards in the in the
direction of rotation and radially out of the core body (1). At least one
of said abutment surfaces associated with the core body (1) is
constituted by a removable blocking member (17). The wear reinforcement
member (8) and the inlet opening (5) are designed in such a manner that
the wear reinforcement member (8) can be introduced to its operating
position from the exterior side of the core body (1)
