A separator for separating particulates from a gas stream including: a housing including a first cylindrical chamber defining a curved flow path for the gas stream passing through the separator and a second cylindrical chamber, wherein the first cylindrical chamber is adjacent the second cylindrical chamber and the chambers are separated by a dividing wall; a rotor assembly in the first cylindrical chamber; the first cylindrical chamber having an outer radial zone extending radially between the rotor assembly and the first cylindrical chamber; a flow inlet port to the first cylindrical chamber and a fiber outlet port to the first cylindrical chamber, wherein the inlet port and outlet port are each arranged aligned with the outer radial zone of the first chamber, and wherein the second cylindrical chamber is at a lower pressure such that gas from the gas stream is drawn through the gas passage.
