Method for separating planar and three-dimensional solids in a flow of bulk goods

摘要

The invention relates to a method comprising a device (1) having at least two separating surfaces (2, 2') for separating planar and three-dimensional solids, which can be light, medium, and heavy, wherein said device can be installed and integrated, using simple means, into existing systems for separating different material streams, such as garbage and waste. The bulk goods (3) to be separated are fed first to the first separating surface (2) and then to the second separating surface (2') in succession, whereby a high degree of separation between light and heavy bulk goods (3) is achieved. In the present embodiment example, the separating surfaces (2, 2') are two separating drums, which substantially consist of a cylinder shell having through-holes (A, A', A"), wherein the inner volume of the separating drum is divided into an overpressure region (E) and a vacuum region (D) by means of a partition (20, 20') whereby the separation of planar from three-dimensional solids is at least partially effected.
