摘要

Disclosed herein are lamella plates for a separator such as a reflux classifier or reflux flotation cell, where the lamella plates may include opposed upturned edges and a reinforcing bend. The reinforcing bend may be parallel to the opposed upturned edges. The opposed upturned edges may include a portion contacting another lamella plate in an array of lamella plates.

1. A separator comprising:
a separation chamber; a plurality of inclined parallel plates of the separation chamber each having a top end, a bottom end, a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side, wherein each plate of the plurality of inclined parallel plates includes: a contacting surface for contacting the slurry; a lower surface opposite the contacting surface; and, a pair of opposed upturned edges upturned on the first and second longitudinal sides of the plurality of inclined parallel plates in a direction of the contacting surface, the pair of opposed upturned edges forming a settling space, and in contact with the lower surface of another plate of the plurality of inclined parallel plates forming a separation space defined by the contacting surface, the pair of opposed upturned edges, and the lower surface of the another plate.
