A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS IN THE SEPARATION OF PLASTIC BODIES

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for separating plastic bodies displaying a plurality of mutually sequentially disposed parts. The parts are interconnected at interface regions which display surfaces suitable for rolling. The body (1) is caused to roll along a path to a first separation station (A), an interface region (3) of the body is centred (7) and rolled over a separator device (8) dividing the body in the interface region (3) forming two part groups, the part groups are caused to roll along the path to a second separation zone (B), an interface region (3) at each part group is centred and caused to roll each over a separator device (8) separating said part groups into new smaller part groups or freely exposed and separated parts, and this stepwise separation of the part groups is repeated until all parts have been freely exposed.
