Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0608658A1] The air-operated separator automatically separates materials into three batches of different weights or shapes. It includes a chamber (2) under slight vacuum, with an inlet opening (3), two perforated inclined planes (11, 12) with inclination of angle alpha and ss (ss greater than or equal to alpha ) fed with pressurized air, three outlet openings (4, 5, 6) for the three batches, and a deflector (13). The heavy materials fall through the first opening (4) adjacent to the second inclined plane (12). The materials of intermediate weight are thrown over the deflector (13) and fall through the second opening (5), while the light materials are sucked up by the third opening (6) which is connected up to a suction system. Preferably the separator is mounted on a low-frequency high-extension vibration-inducing system. <IMAGE>
