Abstract
A separator shaped like a plate, for an ultracentrifuge, comprises centrally arranged inlet and outlet nipples (5, 6, 7, 8) opening axially outwardly. A ring channel (11) is arranged near the circumference of the plate (1) and extends along or near substantially the entire circumference. One end, the inlet end, of the ring channel is connected through a respective radially extending duct (10) to the inlet nipple (5). The other end of the ring channel (11) opens into at least one separation zone (17) which is widened relative to the ducts. The separation zone (17) is connected through approximately radially further ducts (12, 14, 15) to the outlet nipples (6, 7, 8). Peeling edges (18, 20, 21) project into the separation zone (17) and form a radially outwardly located boundary of the inflow areas of the connecting ducts (12, 14, 15). These ducts (12, 14, 15) merge into the separation zone (17) behind the peeling edges at different radial spacings in the rotational direction (9).
