SEPARATION USING AIR FLOWS OF DIFFERENT VELOCITIES

摘要

An apparatus for separation of components having differing terminal velocities. The apparatus comprising a means for providing a substantially elongate, upwardly projected air flow acting to agitate, sort and separate the components according to a terminal velocity of each of the components. The apparatus also comprising a means for forming a bed of the components above the upwardly projected air flow; and a means for entraining a class of the components out of the bed.
