The apparatus for separation of air from fibre suspensions from flotation devices, which fibre suspensions have high levels of air and foam or are a mixture of liquid and foam, is provided with a hydrocyclone (1), the inlet port (4) of which is disposed at least 2.5 m beneath the outlet port of the flotation device for the air-charged liquid or mixture. The separating region (3) of the hydrocyclone is a slender, truncated cone-shaped body, at the pointed (thin) end of which the deaerated liquid is withdrawn. For this purpose, a counterpressure is maintained at this outlet port, so that the inlet port is not completely covered by the liquid eddy, so that sufficient free entry area still remains for the foam. A mechanical foam destroyer with a rotor (10), which is provided with a wheel, is disposed above the entry area (2) of the hydrocyclone, which wheel is furnished with radial blading. A funnel-shaped suction nozzle feeds the air-foam mixture to the wheel.
