Abstract:
1. A separator comprising: a centrifuge drum having a vertical rotational axis and including a feed line to feed a product to be centrifugally processed; a drive spindle to drive the centrifugal drum, which drive spindle is rotatably mounted in a housing by a bearing device and which is supported on a machine frame by an elastic support; a drive device including an electric drive motor having a stator and a motor rotor which is aligned with the drive spindle; wherein the stator is rigidly connected to the machine frame; wherein the motor rotor, the drive spindle, the centrifuge drum, and the housing form a unit which is supported on the machine frame by the elastic support and which unit oscillates during an operation of the separator; and wherein the bearing device is arranged between the motor and the drum; wherein the elastic support includes ultra sockets which have a longitudinal axis oriented at an angle to one or both of the rotational axis and the drive spindle; and wherein the ultra sockets are oriented at an angle of 30 to 60° to the rotational axis.
