Abstract 695,347. Centrifugal separators. BUREAU VAN TONGEREN NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP. Oct. 24, 1951 [Nov. 14, 1950], No. 24847/51. Class 23 In dust separating apparatus comprising a bunker 10, and a cyclone having a substantially cylindrical upper part 5 and a conical part 8 having an included angle between 60-90 . degrees, the lower part has an opening 9 giving access to the bunker and the wall of the cyclone near to the junction of the upper and lower parts has one or more tangential slots 12 for discharge of dust to the bunker. Particle laden gas enters an axial inlet 6 having whirl producing blades 7, and cleaned gas is discharged through a pipe 11. A baffle 13 provided opposite the opening 9 may be vertically adjustable to close the opening during separation. The slots may be formed in the cylindrical part 5 and ducts provided to lead the dust to the bunker. In a modification,. Fig. 3 (not shown), the separator has a tangential inlet, a slightly conical upper part, and the baffle is dispensed with.
