  • Patent number: 11541424
    Abstract: A separator having a separator housing, a separator wheel arranged inside the separator housing and having an axis of rotation (X), and a guide vane assembly arranged in the separator housing, an annular space being provided between the guide vane assembly and the separator housing radially (R) perpendicular to the axis of rotation (X) and a separation zone being provided between the guide vane assembly and the separator wheel, and the guide vane assembly having a plurality of vertical guide vanes. In order to increase separation performance, at least one deflecting element is arranged between at least two adjacent vertical guide vanes and has at least one downward-pointing curved and/or bent portion.

  • Patent number: 11192117
    Abstract: A mill, in particular a pendulum mill or roller mill, having a classifier, wherein the mill has a mill housing with an interior in which there is situated a milling space B1 in which a milling device having at least one milling tool is arranged. The classifier is arranged above the milling device in a classifying space B3. At least one drop device is provided which connects the classifying space B3 to the milling space B1. Arranged below the classifier is at least one distribution plate which has at least one drop opening on which the at least one drop device is arranged.
