  • Process and device for separating particles in a fluid especially for the cleaning of the suspensions handled in the paper industry
    Patent number: 4443331
    Abstract: A process and device for selectively separating particles from a suspension is disclosed. The process involves: introducing the suspension into a rotating separation chamber in which the flow is regulated so that the angular velocity of the suspension is maintained slightly higher than the angular velocity of the wall of the chamber. The bulk of the flow of the suspension treated is removed from the separation chamber from a peripheral area. The following fractions are removed separately, simultaneously, and if necessary continuously. The heavy fraction is removed from a zone near of the sidewall; the light fraction is removed from a zone nearer of the longitudinal axis of the chamber, than the heavy fraction outlet and if desired, an intermediate fraction may be removed from at least one separate intermediate zone between the light fraction outlet and the heavy fraction outlet.
