Abstract
An apparatus for depositing solids from a current of air includes a bucket wheel lock, taking up this air current over a connecting opening. This apparatus has a built-in drum with a rotatably supported bucket wheel. On the one hand, a screen is provided in the drum, on which coarse solid particles are deposited from the air current and, on the other, a discharge opening for the separated coarse solids is provided. An air current, still containing fine dust particles, is supplied to a dust filter which, in the direction of flow, is behind the screen. In the direction of flow of the dust-containing air current, behind an essentially horizontal upper region of the screen, facing the dust filter, the bucket wheel lock is provided with an air current deflection, which brings about a surface removal of dust at the back side of the screen.
