Abstract: A device (1) with which lightweight fractions, such as films or paper for example, being carried along in a carrier airflow (A) are separated and discharged for further processing. The device is characterized in that the housing can be easily opened by means of two pivotal cover hoods (3, 4) in order to allow maintenance work to then be carried out safely. The first cover hood (3) has an intermediate piece (31, 31?) which extends into the housing and has chamfered surfaces (30, 30?) at the ends, wherein the surfaces assuming a known specified angle ? relative to the vertical, wherein the inner chamfer docks precisely against the chamfer of a guide element (27).

The device is characterized in that the housing can be easily opened by means of two pivotal cover hoods (3, 4) in order to allow maintenance work to then be carried our safely. The first cover hood (3) has an intermediate piece (31, 31?) which extends into the housing and has chamfered surfaces (30, 30?) at the ends, said surfaces assuming a known specified angle ? relative to the vertical, wherein the inner chamfer docks precisely against the chamfer of a guide element (27). By virtue of the arrangement of the intermediate piece (31, 31?), it is possible to service the device safely with few hand movements and without the use of tools.

Abstract: The here present invention introduces a method and a device applying said method for the separation of a primarily heterogeneous material stream, as commonly encountered in the waste management industry. The device primarily constitutes a housing which features a cylindrical component, into which a gas stream is introduced by means of a gas injection nozzle, which passes through the material stream, which contains individual fractions at least once. Due to the specific curvatures of the cylindrical housing part and the specific arrangement of several flow control elements as well as the associated interaction of the undisturbed laminar gas/material stream with the separation of the individual fractions in the interior of the housing, a compact design of the device as well as a high degree of separation can be achieved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method comprising a device (1) having at least two separating surfaces (2, 2?) for separating planar and three-dimensional solids, which can be light, medium, and heavy, wherein the device can be installed and integrated into existing system for separating different material streams, such as garbage and waste. The bulk goods (3) to be separated and fed first to a first separating surface (2), and then to a second separating surface (2?) in succession, whereby a high degree of separation between light and heavy bulk goods (3) is achieved.

Abstract: The invention related to a method comprising a device (1) having at least two separating surfaces (2, 2?) for separating planar and three-dimensional solids, which can be light, medium, and heavy, wherein said device can be installed and integrated, using simple means, into existing system for separating different material streams, such as garbage and waste. The bulk goods (3) to be separated and fed first to the first separating surface (2) and then to the second separating surface (2?) in succession, whereby a high degree of separation between light and heavy bulk goods (3) is achieved.
