An oil separator is designed for an internal combustion engine with a camshaft system, via which oil separator a medium containing oil-particle-enriched blow-by gases, is influenced to the effect that the oil particles and the blow-by gases are separated and supplied to an oil circuit or to an inlet system of the internal combustion engine. The oil particles are separated from the blow-by gases by rotation of the camshaft system. In order to optimize this oil separator, the camshaft system has at least one camshaft on which a centrifugal blade device acting as the oil separator is effective. The centrifugal blade device conveys the oil particles of the medium against housing walls which are adjacent relative to the camshaft and lead to the oil circuit, with the blow-by gases freed from oil particles being conducted into the inlet system by the pressure conditions prevailing in a crankcase of the internal combustion engine.

Provided is a centrifuge media separator for separating blast particulate from fine particulate carried by air flowing from a blast cabinet and through the media separator. The centrifuge media separator comprises an upper panel, a lower panel, and an outer wall. The upper panel has a central opening formed therein. The outer wall is configured in a truncated logarithmic shape and which extends between the upper and lower panels. The outer wall has at least one particulate escape aperture formed therein. The upper panel, lower panel and outer wall collectively define a curvilinear air passageway having an inlet and an outlet. An air foil extends from the outer wall in to the air passageway. The distance than the air foil extends in to the air passageway is adjustable. The inlet is configured to allow a flow of air to enter the air passageway and circulate therethrough toward the outlet. The escape aperture is configured to exhaust the blast particulate out of the passageway. The central opening is configured to exhaust the fine particulate out of the passageway.
