The rotor body also includes an annular containment lip that forms a continuous extension of the annular containment groove. The rotor assembly includes a lid selectively attachable to an open end of the rotor body that includes a first undercut channel configured to receive a portion of a first sealing gasket formed as an annular disk. The lid is supported above an upper surface of the rotor body by the annular containment lip such that the first sealing gasket is positioned between the lid and the annular containment lip to form a seal between the lid and the rotor body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
