An orbital separator for separating denser and lighter components of a mixture employing a separation container having an inlet end and an outlet end. An inlet tube is secured to the separation container inlet end and communicates between the exterior and interior of the separation container. In like manner, an outlet tube is secured to the separation container outlet end and communicates between the exterior and interior of the separation container. The inlet and outlet tubes are coaxial and each are rotationally supported to thereby rotationally support the separation container. Formed in the outlet end of the separation container and surrounding the outlet tube is an annular denser component discharge opening. Positioned externally of the separation container outlet end is a closure member that can be moved towards and away from the discharge opening to thereby vary the area of the discharge opening, so that thereby the performance characteristics of the separator can be varied.

An orbital separator for separating lighter and heavier components of a mixture including a rotatable cylindrical separation container with an opening in the bottom, an upper inlet tube coaxial with the separation container for discharging a mixture into the separation container, a tubular outlet member communicating with the opening in the separation container bottom and extending coaxially upwardly in the separation container defining a moat area within the separation container lower portion, and a removable liner within the separation container moat area for collecting the heavier components of a mixture, the lighter components flowing out through the tubular outlet member.
