Singulation system for recyclable material

A system for singulating recyclable materials comprising:

• a. a vacuum chamber having a first face, a second face, a base, a first side, a second side, and a slot between said first face and said second face;
• b. a vacuum;
• c. an inlet hose connecting said vacuum to said vacuum chamber proximate to said first side of said vacuum chamber;
• d. a roller placed proximate to each of the ends of said vacuum chamber;
• e. a continuous belt placed around and moved by said rollers across said vacuum chamber such that said belt runs substantially parallel to said slots, said belt having a hole array aligned over said slot for engaging one container;
• and
• f. an outlet hose connected to an air source for blowing air across said belt.

• b. a vacuum:
• c. an inlet hose connecting said vacuum to said vacuum chamber proximate to said first side of said vacuum chamber;
• d. a roller placed proximate to each of the ends of said vacuum chamber;
• e. a continuous belt placed around and moved by said rollers across said vacuum chamber such that said belt runs substantially parallel to said slot, said belt having a hole array aligned over said slot for engaging one container;
• and
• f. an outlet hose attached to said vacuum for directing air across said belt.
