Abstract:
1. A centrifuge media separator for separating blast particulate from fine particulate carried by air flowing from a blast cabinet through the media separator, the centrifuge media separator comprising: an upper panel having a central opening formed therein; a lower panel; and a curvilinear outer wall extending between the upper and lower panels and having at least one particulate escape aperture formed therein; wherein the upper panel, lower panel and outer wall collectively define a curvilinear air passageway having an inlet and an outlet, the air passageway being configured such that a cross sectional area thereof generally decreases along a direction of the flow from the inlet to the outlet, the inlet being configured for allowing a flow of air to enter the air passageway and circulate therethrough toward the outlet, the escape aperture being configured to exhaust the blast particulate out of the passageway, the central opening being configured to exhaust the fine particulate out of the passageway.
