A separator includes a unit that rotates during operation, the unit having a drum and a drive spindle, and an electric drive motor for rotating the drive spindle and having a stator and a rotor. The rotor is arranged on the drive spindle and the stator is radially spaced apart from the rotor in a drive housing that does not rotate during operation. The stator has at least one or multiple winding heads. At least one chamber is formed on at least one of the winding heads, and in this chamber a coolant film or coolant bath forms during operation so that this winding head is cooled by means of coolant during operation.
