Abstract: The present invention relates to a separator for vacuum cleaners operating on the basis of a liquid bath, the liquid bath serving as pre-separation and as a dumping area for the aspirated particles. It consists of segments (7), each of the segments (7) being formed as a radially flat ring (13) that is centrally secured to a hub (11) via radial supports (12) and having blades (8) extending equidistantly and substantially perpendicularly to the surface of the ring (13). The blades (8) are positioned on each individual segment (7) in a way that a gap (9) is formed between each two adjacent blades (8) of each segment (7). When individual segments (7) are stacked one over another, the blades (8) of one segment (7) extend into the gaps (9) between the blades (8) of the next segment (7), such that a newly formed gap (91) is formed between the two adjacent blades (8) of the assembled separator (1).
