Abstract

A separator for sorting of particulate material suspended in a conveying gas into a fine fraction and a coarse fraction, which separator comprises a rotor with a shaft, a housing, which encases the rotor and has an inlet for the material/gas suspension and outlets for fine and coarse fractions, respectively. Regulating means are associated with the shaft for adjusting the axial position of the shaft, and hence of the rotor, relative to the housing, thereby adjusting the amount of unseparated material that bypasses the rotor and passes directly to the fine fraction outlet.
