Separator member for separating solids from gaseous media

Cone-shaped separator-body having a tip and a foot for separating solids from a gaseous medium comprising a substantially hollow elongated member comprising a plurality of annular separator elements disposed concentrically behind each other in longitudinal axial direction of said elongated member and each having an outer and an inner peripheral surface, the diameter of each separator element in the direction from the tip to the foot of said coneshaped separator-body increasing from element to element, the cross section of each separator element being shaped substantially as an obtuse triangle having a base-side lying parallel to the axis of said elongated member and coextensive with the width of one of the peripheral surfaces of each separator element, and two other sides starting from said base-side and pointing generally in said longitudinal axial direction, one of the two other sides of each of two mutually adjacent separator elements defining therebetween a gradually enlarging flow channel extending in a direction continuously varying from being transverse to said longitudinal axial direction to being substantially parallel thereto, and a gap at the entrance of said flow channel between two adjacent separator elements whereby the solids are separated from the gaseous medium.
