Abstract (en)

A particle separator (1) which uses differences in kinetic energy to achieve separation. Particles of different size or density are accelerated by being placed on a belt (4;20) or passed between pinch rollers (30,31) so that they are all projected at the same speed. Differences in size or density cause particles to travel different distances to be collected in different hoppers (11-14). In some instances a light cross current of air (41;46) may be used to remove dust or other light material. The separator can be used, for example, for grain separation.
