  • Patent number: 6354440
    Abstract: A facility for the selective separation of a stream of mixed bulk materials made up of objects of different densities and possibly different sizes comprising a sorting device having at least one conveyor belt on which the stream of mixed bulk materials to be selected is conveyed; and at least one nozzle by means of which compressed air can be blown transversely to the conveying direction and against the stream of mixed bulk materials lying on the conveyor belt, including at least one separating element and at least two collection containers, one of which is placed laterally approximately opposite the nozzle and the other of which is placed in the end region of the conveyor belt.
