Separating apparatus comprises a rotor having a plurality of impeller blades rotatably mounted in a support housing. In the normal course of apparatus use, fluid flow occurs through opposed rotor open ends. Drive motor elements for rotating the rotor are mounted partly in the rotor and partly in the surrounding casing whereby the rotor may be driven without the necessity of a drive shaft attached to the rotor, and the opposed rotor ends remain unobstructed. In one rotor embodiment, fluid enters the opposed rotor ends and is discharged radially by the rotor blades. In a second embodiment the fluid enters one rotor end and is discharged along an axial path from the opposite end.

A flow machine for separating particles in a flowable medium, the machine having a rotor rotatably mounted in a housing, said rotor comprising two face rings spaced apart in the axial direction of the rotor and a plurality of blades extending axially therebetween, said rings being supported for rotation about their outer circumferences in the housing and at least one of the rings being driven, and an inlet and an outlet in the housing for flowable medium, said flowable medium being drawn through the flow machine so that it flows axially through the rotor and traverses the blades substantially radially as it flows between the inlet and the outlet effecting a separation of particles in the flowable medium.
