A screw-type solid-bowl centrifuge including a rotatable drum having a
tapering portion and a cylindrical portion. The rotatable screw includes
a screw body, at least one main screw blade surrounding the screw body
and forming a plurality of screw flights. The plurality of screw flights
forms a conveying path configured to transport a material to be processed
in the centrifuge. Two blade segments are arranged in the conveying path
in portions of the plurality of screw flights. The at least one main
screw blade is provided in a region of the blade segments that includes
clearances configured to allow a throughflow of the material to be
processed to flow between adjacent screw flights.
