<p>Disclosed is a vortex finder for a centrifugal separator consisisting of a plurality of rings that are arranged one on top of the other and connected to one another. These rings are composed in turn of a plurality of plate-shaped segments (5). In order to provide a vortex finder which is suitable for adaptation to different sized centrifugal separators and on which individual components can be interchanged particularly easily, the segments (5) of a ring are coupled under the effect of gravity into segments of the respective ring arranged above. The bearing faces, required for connection to a segment arranged above, of the respective segment (5) are designed at least partially in the form of slopes (12) which are aligned with the outside of the vortex finder. Preferably, further slopes (10, 11) are provided which are aligned with the inside of the vortex finder so that reliable and self-locking suspension of the individual segment (5) within the structure forming the vortex finder is achieved.</p> |
