  • Publication number: 20230321670
    Abstract: A separator includes a frame and a separator insert exchangeably disposed on the frame. The separator insert is designed to separate a flowable suspension into at least two flowable phases of different density in a centrifugal field and forms a preassembled, exchangeable unit for inserting into stator units on the frame of the separator. Mutually spaced holders having stator units of the bearing devices are formed on the frame, between which holders the housing of the separator insert is non-rotatably retained such that the rotor with the drum remains rotatable. The relative position of the holders can be changed such that the separator insert can be exchanged. The housing and the holders have corresponding interlocking elements in order to non-rotatably retain the housing at the holders.
