Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0247844A2] Undersize and oversize particles are separated by means of a continuous screen cloth (12) that has a horizontal operative separating region. Material is fed onto the cloth from a feedbox at one end of the operative separating region. There are three rows of sprays (36, 40 and 42) located at spaced positions underneath the cloth in the operative separating region. These sprays dislodge oversize particles that block the apertures of the cloth and fluidise the material, allowing undersize particles to pass through the apertures.
