Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1591172A1] The method involves conveying a portion of a material from a material flow into an area of a foreign-body detection device (16) in form of a partial material flow. Foreign bodies are identified by the detection device in the partial material flow based on a characteristic e.g. color. The bodies are removed from the partial material flow that is formed by a separation step by using an air flow upstream from the device. An independent claim is also included for an apparatus for separation of foreign bodies from a material flow.
