A method of recovering a solid particulate material from an animal skin substrate subjected to a treatment using said particulate material, the method comprising supporting the animal skin substrate on a support, directing an output flow of air from at least one air knife to the animal skin substrate and moving at least one of the air knife and the animal substrate relative to the other thereby to displace solid particulate material from the animal skin substrate.
Apparatus for recovery of a solid particulate material from an animal skin substrate subjected to a treatment using said particulate material, the apparatus comprising a support arranged to support the animal skin substrate, at least one air knife arranged to direct its output flow of air to the animal skin substrate when supported on the support, and a transport arrangement configured to move at least one of the air knife and the animal substrate relative to the other.
Apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim further comprising a collecting device arranged to collect the solid particulate material displaced from the animal skin substrate by the or each air knife.
