A separator insert includes a housing that is stationary during operation and which is a container that is closed apart from a number of openings. A rotor is arranged within the housing and is rotatable about an axis of rotation. The separator insert includes a drum with openings. At least two rotor units for magnetic bearing units are arranged at two axially spaced apart points on the rotor with the drum, that hold the rotor in a suspended state and that can rotate the rotor.

A separator insert for a separator includes a housing that is stationary during operation and is a container that is closed apart from multiple openings. These openings include a supply opening for an in-flowing suspension in a first axial boundary wall of the housing, two outlets for flowable phases of differing densities in an outer casing of the housing, and a recirculation inlet in a second axial boundary wall of the housing. A rotor within the housing can rotate about an axis of rotation and has a drum, which has multiple openings. A separator is arranged in the drum. At least two rotor units for magnetic bearing units are arranged at two axially spaced-apart points on the rotor with the drum, with which the rotor with the drum can be held in a suspended state, can be rotationally mounted and can be made to rotate within the housing during operation.

A self-emptying separator includes a rotatable drum with an inlet, a liquid outlet, outlet openings for solid material, and a control system. A flowable starting product is cleared of the solids in continuous operation in a centrifugal field in the rotating drum. A continuous discharge of a clear phase is performed. A solid phase is discharged via the outlet openings from a solids collecting space of the drum into an annular solids catcher. The solids catcher has a device for generating a fluid curtain against which the solids, issuing from the outlet openings for solid material, impact.

The present invention relates to a centrifuge for cleaning a reaction vessel unit, comprising a rotor and a rotor chamber in which the rotor is positioned and supported in rotary fashion. The rotor chamber is delimited by a housing having a drainage channel beneath the rotor. Adjacent to the channel, the inner surface of the housing is embodied in the form of a funnel that feeds into the channel. This centrifuge does not require a suction pump for suctioning liquids from the rotor chamber. In addition, the centrifuge can be provided with an exchangeable module that delimits the rotor chamber and includes the rotor. The exchangeable module can be exchanged after a predetermined amount of use and replaced with another. It is also possible, however, for the module to be removed from the centrifuge, cleaned, and re-inserted.
