(54) Sorting machine


(57) Sorting arrangement for sorting a mixture of garbage, using a conveyor belt (1) having a progressive inclination in the transport direction. The conveyor belt (1), which is equipped with cross ribs (2), first carries off the finer garbage. Next a receptacle (6) is coupled with and moved upwards by the conveyor belt (1), collecting the coarser garbage in the process. When arriving at the top, the receptacle (6) is decoupled, and the coarser garbage is laterally pushed from the receptacle by a slide (8) on to a conveyor belt.
