An improvement in the degree of separation is obtained by using a separation-effective material on which the finest suspended particles can adhere and coagulate to form larger droplets. Brush bodies 4 are used as the separation-effective material in the separation space. With a vertical arrangement of the brush bodies 4 consisting of a central carrier 4' and radially outward-pointing bristles 4", cleaning by a stripping device consisting of a mobile ring body 5 and to be actuated vertically is possible. Separate cleaning measures outside the separator are largely unnecessary. IMAGE
