A method for processing a textile fraction, which was produced in the processing of discarded tires, includes: loosening the textile fraction, density separation of the loosened textile fraction by the force of gravity and air flow into a heavy material fraction and a light material fraction, separation of metallic components from the light material fraction contained in the air flow, and separation of the metal-reduced light material fraction from the air flow. The foregoing combination allows for such an effective separation of a major part of the non-textile components (rubber and in particular steel wires) from the textile fraction, and thus allows for the production of a “refined” textile fraction, that it is not possible to dispose of the latter or that the latter can only be recycled as energy, but rather that it may be fed into a material recycling process. |
