Abstract (en)

Forced draught sieve comprises a housing (1) into which refuse is fed by a conveyor (8), via an inlet port (9). Air is directed from a fan below the refuse inlet port, across the refuse feed trajectory, towards an adjustable separator edge (14), allowing lighter elements to be entrained out of port (4) and heavier material to fall to the housing bottom port (11). An induction fan provides suction to port (4). A belt conveyor with a speed of 100-250m/minute is the preferred feeder. The separating edge is located in the region of port (4), or above the natural trajectory of the conveyor feed at port (9), and is preferably adjustable in height (all features claimed).
