  • Patent number: 12629699
    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 pre-assembled, 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.

  • Publication number: 20260034549
    Abstract: An exchangeable separator insert is designed for insertion into stator magnets of the frame of the separator and includes a housing, which is stationary during operation and which is designed in the manner of a container that is closed except for one or more openings. A rotor is disposed within the housing and is rotatable about an axis of rotation, the rotor having a drum which has one or more openings. At least two rotor magnets are at two axially spaced points of the rotor to keep floating and rotatably support the drum within the housing during operation. For transport or installation, the separator insert is provided with one or more transport securing elements, which operate according to a magnetic principle of action, so that the drum, which freely floats during operation of the separator, is immovable or substantially immovable in the housing during transport or installation.

  • Publication number: 20240125293
    Abstract: A handheld work apparatus has a combustion engine and a rest position. The engine includes a cylinder wherein a piston is mounted to drive a crankshaft in a crankcase. The engine has an intake channel having an intake channel section formed in a fuel supply. The intake channel is divided into a mixture channel and an air channel. The engine has an air filter defining a clean chamber for a deflection bowl. The deflection bowl has a first passage opening whereat the air channel passes from the deflection bowl into the clean chamber and a second passage opening whereat the mixture channel passes from the deflection bowl into the clean chamber. The air channel and the mixture channel run mutually separate in the deflection bowl. In the rest position, no second passage opening extends into a region situated lower in terms of the geodetic height than the main fuel opening.
