French term or phrase: à ceinture
Here are some examples of its use in the text:

Cette chambre a la forme d’un tronçon de cône (ou de coupe) avec la grande base dirigée en haut ; le bord extérieur est coupé verticalement, de manière qu’il se forme une ***ouverture à ceinture***.

La surface externe de la chambre d’entrée (30), ***à ceinture***, est ouverte, de sorte qu’elle communique avec la chambre de séparation (31).

L’aire de section (la lumière) du tube axiale d’entrée (11) et l’aire de la susdite ***ouverture à ceinture*** devront correspondre.

Sa surface courbe (tubulaire) interne est ouverte, en haut et en bas, par deux fenêtres ***à ceinture*** circulaire qui permettent la communication de cet espace avec la chambre d’entrée (30) et celle de sortie (32).

Il est, pratiquement, identique à celui supérieure (28) sauf qu’il revêt de dessous la chambre de sortie (32), celle de séparation (31) et la grille (34); la portion ***à ceinture*** qui revêt la paroi externe de la chambre de séparation (31), s’il faut, sera plus courte

at the center axis
Explanation:
If this were a person, it would be a waist level. Since isn't, it has to be something at the center. And since it is a centrifuge, that would be the center axis...

Rotation around a fixed axis
The simplest three-dimensional case of rotation is rotation of a body about a fixed axis of rotation: each point of the body moves in a plane perpendicular to the axis, carrying out a circular motion, with the circle centered at the intersection of the plane and the axis.
The axis can be within the body, in which case the body is said to rotate upon itself, or spin, or outside it.
In the case of a rigid body the angle of rotation is a function of time which is the same for every point of the body.
An object may allow rotation with respect to an attached other object by means of one or more hinges (e.g. a door, scissors, a hinge joint).

In this new centrifuge, these discharge vanes recover consumed power for acceleration as well as effective sludge discharge through the center axis.
