The invention relates to a device for the continuous separation of particles from suspensions by flotation, in particular from fermentable or fermented suspensions of beverage production or other biotechnological suspensions, according to the preamble of Claim 1. The proposed device ensures, inter alia, that the desired particle content of the suspension, in particular a desired cold break content of the beer wort, can be varied and controlled within limits. This is achieved, inter alia, in such a way that the container (18) has an inlet (18a) in the top region and an outlet (18b) in the bottom region, that a displacement body (23) is provided which is fixed to a shaft (22), located in the longitudinal axis of the container and mounted via a bearing (20 or 21 respectively) in the bottom region and top region, delimits a space above and a space below in the container (18) and connects these with one another via an annular gap (26) formed between it and the shell of the container (18). <IMAGE> |
