A cyclone separator wherein the tapered tip of the conical hollow body faces downwards. The air separator has at least one immersion tube which abuts the conical wall of the conical hollow body and which protrudes upwards within the conical hollow body, the conical hollow body tapered tip which faces downwards being connected to an outlet for fine material. The first cylindrical hollow body is equipped with a rotating rod basket which is enclosed by a static circular conveyor trough for coarse material, the conveyor trough resting against the lower outer circumference without contacting same. The conveyor trough for coarse material is connected to an outlet out of the cylindrical hollow body, and the volume enclosed by the rod basket is fluidically connected to the conical hollow body.

An ultra violet air disinfectant machine 100 that includes a cyclone separator 120 configured and arranged for effecting a spiral vortex flow of air through a disinfection chamber 129 about a longitudinal axis x operable for inertial concentration of microbes in the spiral vortex flow of air proximate a sidewall 122s of the cyclone separator 120, and a source of germicidal ultraviolet radiation 140 positioned external to the disinfection chamber 129 for emitting germicidal ultraviolet radiation towards and into the disinfection chamber 129.

A dust collector with convenient loading and unloading dust collecting barrel includes a base plate fixed on an outer periphery of a bottom of an air guide cylinder, an operation unit whose end is pivotally arranged on the base plate, linking members disposed on said operation unit and connected to a dust collecting barrel lid located under the air guide tube. Accordingly, when a user lifts up the operation unit, the linking members move the dust collecting barrel lid upwards. The upward movement separates the dust collecting barrel lid from the dust collecting barrel, so the dust collecting barrel is easily detached. The action of swinging the operation unit swings down allows the linking members to move the dust collecting barrel lid downwards, so the dust collecting barrel lid closes the dust collecting barrel. Therefore, the user loads and unloads the dust collecting barrel quickly and conveniently.

According to one implementation, a centrifugal oil mist separator includes a duct, a fan and a power transmission mechanism. The duct forms a flow path of a first exhaust gas discharged from an engine. The first exhaust gas includes oil mist. The fan is disposed inside the duct. The power transmission mechanism rotates the fan using energy of a second exhaust gas discharged from the engine. The second exhaust gas includes no oil mist.

An airborne dust cleaner includes a case having an inlet at one side thereof, an outlet at another side thereof, and a space therein, a vortex vacuum generator installed at the inlet and generating and extending a low-pressure zone of a donut-like vortex around the inlet to collect fine dust, and a filtering assembly installed at the outlet and filtering the fine dust collected through the vortex vacuum generator.

The present invention discloses a high-stability shale gas desanding device with a gravel storage mechanism, comprising a shale gas desanding assembly, a driving assembly, a flow stirring assembly and a flow guide assembly, wherein the shale gas desanding assembly comprises an outer side gas-solid separation tank, an inner side gas-solid separation tank is sleeved inside the outer side gas-solid separation tank, the inner side gas-solid separation tank is communicated with a shale gas mixture ingress pipe of the flow guide assembly, a top of the shale gas desanding assembly is communicated with an interior of the outer side gas-solid separation tank through a first pressure balance pipe, the outer side gas-solid separation tank is communicated with the shale gas mixture ingress pipe through a second pressure balance pipe, a pressure regulation and control assembly is arranged on the second pressure balance pipe.

An improved process and apparatus for separating organics and inorganics from waste material with a specific object of preparing the separated organic fraction for the production of biogas or other methods for diverting organics from landfills. Waste material, such as municipal solid waste or source-separated organic waste (SSO), is subjected to a first separation treatment that separates organic and inorganic waste components. The apparatus includes a hopper to receive contaminated organic waste from different sources, a vertical separator that separates the inorganics from the organics by creating a vortex effect in a stationary filtration drum by which the solid contaminants (paper, plastic, metals) are blown in a spiral pattern upwards and removed from the top, while the organic fraction is removed from the bottom. Such apparatus is improved through several methods to reduce or eliminate blockages and their associated downtime, and to increase the efficiency of the separation process.

An actuator for a separator for separating contaminants from a fluid stream which includes entrained contaminants. The actuator is arranged to move along an actuator axis to adjust an open cross-sectional area of at least one aperture of the separator, and comprises a flexible diaphragm, and a support assembly for the flexible diaphragm. The support assembly is movable along the actuator axis carrying the flexible diaphragm and has an upper support member mounted on a lower support member. A portion of the flexible diaphragm is located between the upper and lower support members. The lower support member comprises an axially extending support portion coupled to a radially extending support portion. The upper support member comprises a diaphragm anti-inversion feature coupled to a radially extending support portion. The diaphragm anti-inversion feature extends such that it axially overlaps at least part of the axially extending support portion of the lower support member.

A diffuser for a jet pump of a separator comprises an inlet defining a first flow area; an outlet in fluid communication with the inlet through which fluid exits the diffuser, in which a flow path extends from the inlet to the outlet, and in which the outlet defines a second flow area greater than the first flow area so that a velocity of fluid flowing through the inlet is greater than a velocity of fluid flowing through the outlet; and a communication port extending through a wall of the diffuser with an inlet in communication with an interior of the diffuser and an outlet in communication with an exterior of the diffuser, in which the communication port inlet is between the diffuser inlet and the diffuser outlet, so that contaminants separated from the fluid stream are removed through the communication port.

The invention relates to a chip extraction system for the continuous disposal of chips, comprising a chip extracting tube (9), which opens out into a vacuum chamber (2) with a base on which chips (12) that are sucked in collect, a chip discharging tube (17), which has an inlet (16) arranged on the base and an outlet (18) arranged outside the vacuum chamber (2), wherein an inner cross-sectional area of the chip discharging tube (17) increases between the inlet (16) and the outlet (18), and at least one chip forcing device (14, 19), which is arranged at the inlet (16) and forces the chips (12) that have collected on the base into the inlet (16).
