Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0483508A2] The novel separator for settling and/or floating materials, such as for example starch or fats, has to be refilled with fresh water after disposal of the separator contents. To avoid back-contamination from the separator, the fresh-water inlet possesses a free-fall section with a collecting funnel. This funnel, which is not filled during the operation of the separator, constitutes a source of odour. According to the invention, the fresh-water inlet is therefore equipped with a winding odour seal which always remains filled with water and preferably has the shape of a double U or a circular pipe and exhibits a large intake capacity upon admission of fresh water. <IMAGE>
