Machine for the separation of a padding from a lining of padded textile articles

Machine for separating a padding from a lining of padded textile articles, the machine comprising:

• a support structure internally defining an operating channel, which extends longitudinally along a vertical direction, the operating channel extending between:
• an inlet section configured to accept a plurality of fragments of padded textile articles into said operating channel and
• a first outlet section configured as a passage for a plurality of lining fragments to exit said operating channel and
• a second outlet section configured as a passage for a mass of padding separated from said lining fragments to exit said operating channel;
• shaking means, housed in said operating channel, which are configured to intercept said plurality of fragments of padded textile articles and mechanically separate said mass of padding from said plurality of lining fragments,
• wherein:
• said inlet section is positioned higher than said first outlet section so as to have a fall by gravity of said plurality of fragments of padded textile articles inside the operating channel,
• said second outlet section is positioned higher than said first outlet section,
• said shaking means comprise at least one comb which is configured so as to oscillate along said vertical direction of extension of said operating channel,
• and wherein said at least one comb is alternately movable between a first configuration, distal from said inlet section, and a second configuration, proximal to said inlet section, configured to repel said plurality of fragments of padded textile articles towards said inlet section.
