device for the separation of waste materials from a strom of vetska and gas

摘要

The apparatus, which is designed for collection of mercury waste products and other waste products which are sucked from a rinse basin or by a mouth suction device at a dental clinic, has a head (1) which is stationary at the dentist's chair, and which through connections (2, 3, 4) and appertaining hoses are connected permanently to the rinse basin, a suction source, and an injector or suction pump respectively which, from the bottom of a tank (7) under the head (1), can suck filtered water to a sewer. Impurities are separated from the air current under its strong change of direciton and possibly by passage through a sieve (17) or a filter. At the bottom of the tank there is a filter cartridge (11) separating waste products from the liquid which from the outside of the cartridge is drawn through it and up through a suction tube (10). The apparatus can be used with different kinds of filter cartridges (11) and with screens (17) selected as required or filter cartridges at the connection (3) and possibly also at the connection (2). It ensures effective separation of cleaned air, liquid, andimpurities and allows active suction of cleaned liquid by the use of a small liquid tank placed close to the source of pollution.
