Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1048363A2] The old paper and cardboard (7) is spread out on a sorting belt (1) and subjected to radiation which is then evaluated and sorted. The intensity differences in the radiation reflected by adjoining surface parts of the surface (6) being considered are determined. Each of the same sized surface parts is given an intensity value. The old paper pieces are assigned the cardboard fraction when the sum of the intensity differences understeps or reaches a boundary value. Independent claim describes device for sorting old paper where a camera part (5) of an evaluator device is arranged above t sorting belt. The radiation source (3, 4) emits visible light.
