Abstract
A separation device includes a rotating member that has a mesh having a first surface and a second surface in a front and back relationship and a protruding member provided on the first surface side of the mesh, a supply unit that supplies a material containing a fiber onto the first surface of the mesh, a suction unit that is provided on the second surface side of the mesh and configured to suck a part of the material supplied onto the first surface, and a collection unit that collects the material deposited on the first surface.
Claims8
A separation device comprising:
- a rotating member that has a mesh having a first surface and a second surface in a front and back relationship and a protruding member that is provided on the first surface side of the mesh and rotates integrally with the mesh, the mesh having a circular shape in a plan view and rotating around a central axis of the circular shape, the protruding member directly contacting the first surface and protruding from the first surface in a direction along the central axis, the protruding member being an elongated member extending across the mesh from a center portion of the mesh to an outer peripheral portion of the mesh;
- a supply unit that supplies a material containing a fiber onto the first surface of the mesh;
- a suction unit that is provided on the second surface side of the mesh and configured to suck a part of the material supplied onto the first surface;
- and
- a collection unit that collects the material deposited on the first surface.
