Waste paper sorting conveyor for sorting waste paper form waste cardboard

摘要

A waste paper sorting conveyor for sorting waste paper from waste cardboard has a sorting bed formed by a row of rotatable, driven shafts mutually spaced in a conveying direction and each extending transversely to the conveying direction. The shafts each carry a row of impellers for intermittently urging material on the sorting conveyor upward and in the conveying direction. The impellers of each of the rows are mutually spaced in longitudinal direction of the respective shaft. Rotary contours of impellers carried by each of the shafts project between rotary contours of the impellers carried by a neighboring one of the shafts. Since the mutual spacing of the impellers of at least one of the rows in longitudinal direction of the respective shaft is adjustable, waste paper and waste cardboard mixtures of varying compositions can be sorted to an improved purity.
