Device for removing solid matter from a mixture of liquid and solid matter

Abstract

Abstract At the tangential outlet (11) of the supply line (9) leading into the separating vessel (1), there is a downward spiral guide (13) running along the wall (3). On the base (5) a rib (15) spirals into the sump (7). Preferred Features: The spiral guide is a channel or pipe, its width decreasing continuously. The sludge extraction line (17) opens into the center or periphery of the sump. The sump spiral rib tapers down, ending at the edge of the sump. The vessel is situated in a larger, round or polygonal tank. Service water enters the tank at openings in the vessel wall. The liquid extraction line ends in a strainer near the base of the vessel, between spiral ridge and tank wall. An overflow pipe rises from the sump to the inlet height (h3)
