Patent ID: 8343360

Claim:
A cyclone device for separating a flowing medium mixture into at least two different fractions with differing average mass density, the cyclone device comprising: a) a stationary housing defining an elongate separating space which is circle-symmetrical in an axial direction, the housing further including a plurality of feed inlet openings adapted to receive being provided with a feed for a mixture for separating and at least two discharges areas for discharging at least two fractions with differing mass density, of which the discharge area for the heavy fraction is connecting centrally to the elongate separating space; and b) a mechanism for inducing rotation located in the separating space for causing the mixture to rotate as a vortex in the separating space, wherein the feed for a mixture for separating initially is connected by means of a plurality of first feed parts to the separating space and is associated with a plurality of guide elements which forms the rotation inducing mechanism and debouches substantially tangentially in the separating space, wherein each first feed part connects substantially radially to the stationary housing proximate to a feed opening in the stationary housing and thereby connect to the separating space from a unique radial direction.
