CONVEYOR SYSTEM FOR SEPARATING MIXED RECYCLED MATERIALS

摘要

A conveyor system for separating mixed recycled materials containing lighter and heavier recycled materials employs an inclined conveyor belt with a series of rows of rotating beaters striking the underside of the conveyor belt. A feeder mechanism deposits mixed recycled materials onto the midsection of the conveyor belt. Heavier recycled materials are bounced from the conveyor belt and tumble to the lower end, while lighter recycled materials are carried by motion of the conveyor belt to its upper end.
