Tip separator and method of operation for fluorescent tube digester

摘要

A grizzly-type separator is disposed across the path of fractured glass particulates to separate electrical tips from said glass particulates. The separator is formed preferably from round separator bars of about twice the average maximum diameter of fractured glass and about equal to the maximum average diameter of the fractured glass particulates. The separator bars are discontinuous in the center to cause a change in orientation of objects moving down the bars and are secured together by cross bars spaced significantly from the separator bars.
