V-shaped disc screen and method of classifying mixed recyclable materials into four streams

摘要

A disc screen apparatus has a generally V-shaped configuration with a lowermost region that provides a trough and a pair of vertically inclined regions. Mixed recyclable materials deposited onto the trough are agitated and classified with different types of material falling through the discs of the trough, falling off one end of the trough, and falling off upper terminal ends of the inclined regions.
