Abstract
The separator device comprises a vertical, cylindrical container (4), provided at the bottom with a rotary discharge valve (9) and provided with a duct (5) which opens into its top portion and is connected to the feeding source of the meal. This duct (5) discharges the meal onto the top of a conical downwardly diverging tray (1) arranged in the container (4), and arranged at a suitable distance below said tray (1) is another conical member (6) also diverging downwardly and provided with an upwardly directed peripheral edge (106) extending beyond the peripheral outline of the tray, and closely spaced from the side surface of the cylindrical container. At the top of the conical member (6) is an opening (10) which is connected to a conduit (11) extending through the wall of the container (4) and connected to a suction source. Inside the container (4) below the conical members (1, 6), there opens a conduit (15) communicating with the atmosphere.
