Technologies for material separation

摘要

A technology for material separation is provided. The technology enables an output of a first material from a rotary lifter. The technology enables a direction of a fluid stream onto the first material in flight based on the output of the first material such that the first material is separated into at least a second material and a third material. The technology enables a conveyance of the second material away from the rotary lifter. The technology enables a removal of the third material via a vacuum port.

主权项

1. A system for material separation, the system comprising:
a rotary lifter which includes a rotary lifter frame and a rotary lifter drum coupled to the rotary lifter frame, wherein the rotary lifter drum includes an inner compartment, wherein the rotary lifter drum is configured to rotate in relation to the rotary lifter frame such that the inner compartment moves from an input position to an output position, wherein the inner compartment is configured to receive a first material when the inner compartment is positioned in the input position, wherein the inner compartment is configured to output the first material when the inner compartment is positioned in the output position; a fluid output device configured to output a fluid in a first direction such that the first material is separated into at least a second material and a third material when moving away from the output position; a conveyor configured to receive the second material upon separation from the first material via the fluid, wherein the conveyor is configured to convey the second material in a second direction; and a suction duct configured to receive the third material upon separation from the first material via the fluid.
