Abstract
A zig-zag classifier for separating material to be separated, for example, plastic flakes, including two zig-zag-shaped plates which are arranged oppositely vertical to each other such that a channel is formed between them, where a central vertically disposed zig-zag-shaped separation plate between the two zig-zag-shaped plates is arranged such that the channel is divided into two parallel classifier channels having substantially the same width. Also, a method for separating material to be separated, for example, plastic flakes, using the zig-zag classifier disclosed herein.
Claims18
A zig-zag classifier for separating material to be separated, comprising:
- two zig-zag-shaped plates which are arranged oppositely vertical to each other such that a channel is formed between them:
- a central vertically disposed zig-zag-shaped separation plate between said two zig-zag-shaped plates arranged such that said channel is divided into two parallel classifier channels having substantially the same width;
- and
- a movement device, said two zig-zag-shaped plates being horizontally movable via the movement device, such that said widths of said two parallel channels can be changed.
