Apparatus and process for separating solids of different shapes.

摘要

Apparatus for separating substantially spherically-shaped solids from irregularly-shaped solids comprising a separating table (1) having a frusto-conically shaped upper surface (2), the angle of inclination of the upper surface (2) with the horizontal being such that spherically-shaped solids supplied onto the upper surface (2) will roll down towards a vertical conduit (9) at the lower end of the upper surface (2) and irregularly-shaped solids supplied onto the upper surface (2) remain at rest. The apparatus further comprises a number of supply structures (11) for the supply of a mixture of spherically-shaped solids and irregularly-shaped solids onto the upper surface (2) and removal means (18) for removing Irregularly-shaped solids from the upper surface (2). The separating table (1) and/or the supply structures (11) are rotatably arranged.
