Abstract

The liquid bath vacuum cleaner comprises a suction fan assembly (16) and a dynamic separator (21) extending into an air wirling chamber (22). The separator (21) comprises a basket-like cylindrical body provided with a plurality of slots (34) for the passage of the air, and peripheral fins (21). Each fin has a wide flat front surface (SF2), rearwardly slanted in a direction opposite to the rotation of the separator (21), for ejecting the particles of dust (P) towards the wirling chamber (22), into the liquid bath.
