Separating device and use of a separating device

A separating device for removing solid particles from fluids, comprising:

• a stack of at least three annular discs defining a central annular region along a central axis, each annular disc having an upper side and an underside, wherein the upper side and the underside of every second annular disc in the stack each has two or more spacers, and wherein the upper side and the underside of the respectively adjacent annular discs do not comprise any spacers, and wherein the upper side of each annular disc contacts the underside of the adjacent annular disc defining a separating gap,
• a perforated pipe, which is located inside the concentric stack of at least three annular discs,
• an end cap at the upper end of the central annular region and an end cap at the lower end of the central annular region, and
• a band which is provided helically in axial direction on the outer surface of the perforated pipe and around which the annular discs are placed, whereby the annular discs are centered on the perforated pipe.
