A separator with a rotating system includes a drum with a vertical axis of rotation, which drum is rotatable during operation, and a drum inner chamber subdivided into a lower double-conical centrifuging chamber and an upper double-conical centrifuging chamber. Both centrifuging chambers have solids discharge openings that are openable and closable in the lower centrifuging chamber by a piston slide and in the upper centrifuging chamber by an auxiliary slide. The mass moment of inertia Jof the rotating system about a transverse axis Q extending through the center of gravity S of the rotating system of the drum and which is perpendicular to the vertical axis of rotation D is greater than the mass moment of inertia Jof the rotating system about the vertical axis of rotation D of the rotating system.

A separator for the clarification or separation of liquids includes a double-cone drum having a metal conical drum top part and a metal conical drum bottom part. The drum top part and the drum bottom part are made as metal plates and the double-cone drum has a largest inside diameter greater than 1000 mm. A disk stack including a stack of conical separating disks is arranged in the double-cone drum. The drum bottom part has at least two drum shell sections with different outer angles of taper with respect to an axis of rotation of the double-cone drum.
