Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0734790A1] The sorter consists of a centrifugal separator in two sections - a chamber (2) which is spherical, truncated conical or trunco-spherical in shape, surrounded by a first horizontal peripheral track (3) with an outer rim (5) which has a gap in it, and a second, or sorting, track (8) round the outside of the first. The chamber (2) has a raised centre and is rotated about an axis inclined at 5-30 degrees to the vertical. The articles being sorted, e.g. bottle made from glass or plastics, such as PVC, PET, polyethylene or polypropylene, are scanned by sensors (7) and ejected, e.g. by blowers (10) into different containers.
