Patent ID: 8152905

Claim:
Device ( 34 ) for separating particles and/or drops of solid/fluid material out of a fluid, which device comprises a cyclone ( 14 ) with an inlet ( 16 ) and an outlet ( 28 ), and a centrifuge ( 36 ) that is arranged to separate particles and/or drops of solid/fluid material from the outlet fluid in said cyclone ( 14 ), characterized in that said centrifuge ( 36 ) is located downstream of the cyclone ( 14 ) and is located in the cyclone ( 14 ), that the centrifuge's axis of rotation is arranged to extend in the same direction as the cyclone's axis of rotation and that the centrifuge ( 25 ) comprises a plurality of lamellae ( 40 ) that is arranged coaxially on a shaft ( 42 ) at a distance from one another so that fluid channels are formed between adjacent lamellae ( 40 ) and so that fluid flows in between adjacent lamellae ( 40 ) in a direction from the lamellae's periphery ( 40 p ) towards said shaft ( 42 ) when said centrifuge ( 36 ) is in use, and wherein said device ( 34 ) comprises a component ( 59 ) to increase the speed of fluid moving upwards towards said lamellae ( 40 ).
