The invention relates to a cyclone (10) having a simple construction and nevertheless good efficiency for separating non-gaseous constituents and gaseous constituents of a mixture. Said cyclone has an upper separating section (18, 20) and a lower collecting section (22) for non-gaseous components. A separating plate (62) is arranged between said two sections such as to be inclined obliquely and is spaced apart from the open end of an air discharge pipe (38) but overlaps said air discharge pipe in the radial direction.
