Abstract
A separator of particulate material from fluid or gas or fluid mixture systems comprising a separator housing having intake and discharge openings formed therein. The intake opening of the separator housing is in communication with the medium in which the particulate material is suspended. The discharge opening of the separator chamber is in communication with a cyclone type settling chamber. A by-pass line extends from the upper end of the settling chamber to the conduit which is supplying the medium to the separator housing. A plurality of closely spaced hollow discs are rotatably mounted within the separator housing and are rotated by means of an electric motor or the like. A fan apparatus is in communication with the interior of the separator housing and is adapted to draw the medium from the intake opening, thence through the space between the discs, then longitudinally through the center of the discs to a point of discharge. The particulate material in the medium is suspended in the separator housing adajcent the peripheries of the rotating discs and is supplied to the cyclone type settling chamber.
