A centrifugal separator for separating non-gaseous particles from a gas flow having a separator housing enclosing a rotor with a raw gas inlet, a clean gas outlet, and a particle outlet. A circumferential wall encloses the rotor. A raw gas flow is guided axially into the rotor. A clean gas flow is guided out of the rotor and then between the rotor and the circumferential wall to the clean gas outlet. The rotor comprises particle separation elements so that particles separated from the gas flow are centrifuged onto the circumferential wall. The circumferential wall particles are guided to the particle outlet via at least one particle guide trough running diagonal to the rotor axial direction on the interior of the circumferential wall. A radius of each trough as well as the distance between the rotor and the circumferential wall decreases in the direction of the clean gas flow.

A centrifugal mechanical separator comprises a disk stack formed by an additive manufacturing process (i.e., 3D printing), where the stack comprises a plurality of disk elements (which may range anywhere from a few to a few hundred). The disk stack is positioned within a proper-sized bowl (with proper inlet and outlet ports), which may also formed using an additive manufacturing process. A bowl cover and inlet/outlet assembly may also be formed using additive manufacturing, where the various dimensions and tolerances of each component (disk stack, bowl, bowl cover, and inlet/outlet assembly) are carefully controlled by the additive manufacturing process, reducing the costs and complexities associated with traditional centrifuge manufacture.
