METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SEPARATING PARTICLES OF PLASTIC FOIL AND PARTICLES OF ORGANIC MATERIAL

摘要

Method and device for separating particles of plastic foil from particles of organic material, the method comprising: •—arranging perforations (4) in a wall (3) of a 100 chamber (2); •—feeding a mixture comprising particles of plastic foil and particles of organic material into the chamber through a feed opening (5); •—setting the introduced mixture into a rotating movement inside the chamber by means of a rotor (6) such that in the vicinity of the perforations the centrifugal force to which a particle is subjected is at least fifty times greater than the gravitational force to which the particle is subjected; •—generating a first airflow in the chamber parallel to the rotation axis of the rotor; •—discharging through a first discharge opening (7) particles of organic material which have left chamber through the perforations; and •—discharging through a second discharge opening (8) particles of plastic foil carried along by the first airflow.
