- it is divided in a plurality of rows m (R1 , R2, R3...Rm) arranged perpendicularly and uniformly along the total reel’s height and delimitated by a plurality of circular separation elements (S1 1 , S12; S21 , S22;...Sm) that are concentric with the bases (1 a, 2a, 1 b, 2b),

- each row (R1 , R2, R3...Rm) being provided with a number (n) of blades (P) that form an assembly of blades (Pn),

- each blade (P) on the same row being 360/n degrees spaced apart from the neighboring blade,

- the blade assembly (Pn) on each row being with a number of degrees higher than zero and lower than 360/n spaced apart from the assembly on the neighboring row/rows, and

- a vertical support (7) provided with a pivot head on which the reel (1 , 2, 3) is fixed in a pivoting manner in relation to said vertical support (7) and along the direction of said reel’s (1 , 2, 3) central axis (Y1 , Y2, Y3),

characterized in that each blade (P) has a S-shape profile (d) and the height equal with the associated row’s (R1 , R2, R3...Rm) height and the S-shape profile (d) has two blind openings, a convex (d1 ), respectively a concave one (d2) oriented towards the direction of the reel’s rotation, with the convex blind opening (d1) fixed on at least one separation element (S1 1 , S12; S21 , S22;...Sm) and oriented towards the reel’s central axis (Y1 , Y2, Y3) and with the concave blind opening (d2) fixed on at least one separation element (S1 1 , S12; S21 , S22;...Sm) and oriented towards the reel’s exterior

and in that it further comprises

- at least one hermetically sealed cylinder of the respective reel (1 , 2, 3) positioned on the direction of the central axis (Y1 , Y2, Y3) of said at least one reel (1 , 2, 3) and concentric with it, said hermetically sealed cylinder having a smaller diameter than said reel’s (1 , 2, 3) diameter.
