Abstract
A rotary air separator having a manifold with a side opening and an end opening. A cylindrical screen rotates around the manifold over the side opening and the end opening is connected to a vacuum source. Vanes in the manifold segregate the side opening into discrete areas. The vanes define independent throats for directing air in a curved transitional path from the side opening areas to the end opening. A collar surrounding the side opening defines a curved inlet to the side opening and provides an effective air barrier to inhibit air flow from around the manifold.
