Abstract

The invention relates to a cyclone separator for separating a mixture containing solid particles, liquid and/or gas into a heavy fraction and a light fraction, the separator comprising: an outer casing (4) defining a flow space (6) through which the mixture is to flow; --flow body (5) arranged in the flow space along which the mixture to be separated can be carried; --at least one swirl element (10) arranged between the flow body and the outer casing, the swirl element defining a proximal region (E), an intermediate region (R) and a distal region (P), wherein in the proximal region the swirl element is adapted so as to gradually set the incoming mixture into a rotating movement for the purpose of separating the mixture into the heavy and light fraction and wherein in the distal region the swirl element is adapted so as to gradually reduce the rotating movement of the mixture for the purpose of recovering pressure.
