Brazhnikova UDC 621.822.7:621.928.3-762 An invention is described which isolates the roller or ball bearings of conveyer centrifuges from the action of harmful vapors or gases, external atmospheric dust, and the products being centrifuged. This is achieved by using a seal between the inner surface of the centrifuge drum and the bearings. Rigid graphite packing, normally used for this purpose, permits product leakage, which leads to the disruption of bearing lubrication and penetration of harmful substances into the bearings from the surrounding atmosphere. The use of elastomers, which are more reliable and provide better protection for the lubricant, does not satisfy the requirements. These seals are very sensitive to certain solvent vapors, which cause them to swell and leak. The invention described (see Fig. 1) combines the advantages of using both mechanical and elastomer- ic seals. The simultaneous application of both eliminates the disadvantages inherent in each one when used separately. Provision of such a seal for a centrifuge precludes penetration of harmful materials into the conveyer bearings and prevents their wear or lubricant destruction. Bearing 13 of the centrifuge's conveyer 37, shown in Fig. 1, is mounted on sleeve 4 and elastic ele- ment 11, which surrounds
