Abstract: A liquid cleaner incorporating a driven impeller rotatably mounted in a perforated cage whereby liquid to be purified is introduced into the cage adjacent the center thereof, the impurities suspended in the liquid tending, by the centrifugal action of the impeller acting on the liquid in the cage, to move outwardly through apertures in the circular side wall of the cage, and downwardly into a lower sedimentation trap area outside the influence of the centrifugal action, the purified liquid then leaving the cage area through a suitable orifice at a predetermined distance from the axis of the cage.
