Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9953822A1] A method and a device for separating granules from a return flow of a cleaning fluid being a mixture of a liquid and granules having a higher density than the liquid, the return flow appearing through a treatment chamber (10) and a tank (15) below the treatment chamber (10) in a washing machine having at least one granule collector (19). The granule collector (19) is arranged as a self-contained unit and to enter a collect mode to receive a substantial amount of the return flow and to retain granules therein. The granule collector (19) is also arranged to enter a release mode to release retained granules and to allow the return flow to pass by without retaining granules.
