Abstract:
1. A solid separator for separating solid particles from a mixture containing the particles and a liquid, the solid separator comprising: a collecting vessel adapted to receive at a filling position the mixture containing the particles and the liquid, wherein the liquid does not drain out of the collecting vessel at the filling position, the collecting vessel having an impermeable bottom wall, being mounted in at least one bearing such as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, and being rotatable from the filling position to a liquid run-off position where the liquid is able to be at least partially drained out of the collecting vessel, and wherein the collecting vessel is adapted to be moveable from at least one of the liquid run-off position and the filling position to a solid discharge position; a device for producing a magnetic field to at least partially retain the particles in the collecting vessel at the liquid run-off position; and a solid-holding container disposed below the collecting vessel for receiving the solid matter discharged from the collecting vessel.
