Abstract
A parts separator includes a chute having an inlet section defining a wet chip inlet opening, an outlet section defining a wet chip outlet opening adapted to be coupled to a centrifugal separator and a drop-out opening disposed between the inlet and outlet sections. The parts separator also includes a magnetic separator disposed outside the chute adjacent the drop-out opening.
Claims19
A parts separator comprising:
- a linear first chute extending in a first direction and having an inlet section defining a wet chip inlet opening for receiving a mixture of light and heavy wet chips, an outlet section defining a wet chip outlet opening adapted to be coupled to a centrifugal separator and a drop-out opening disposed between the inlet and outlet sections, the drop-out opening disposed below the wet chip inlet opening in a direction of gravity and the wet chip outlet opening disposed below the drop-out opening in the direction of gravity;
- a linear second chute connected to the first chute and disposed below the drop-out opening, extending in a second direction transverse to the first direction;
- and
- a magnetic separator disposed in the second chute and adjacent the drop-out opening.
