Abstract: An apparatus for separating recyclable waste which has a conveyor belt transport track, collecting belt under a section of the transport track, and belt guides positioned along a section of the transport track. The conveyor belt is provided with openings and mutually contacting surfaces of the conveyor belt and the belt guides are profiled such that movement of the conveyor belt along the transport track causes a portion of the belt passing the guides to shake in a direction substantially transverse to the transport track.

Abstract: Wire catch for a baler comprising an elongated wire catch body having between a fixed end and a free end thereof a recess in which is suspended a wheel. The axis of rotation of the wheel is directed substantially transverse to the centerline of the wire catch body. The recess comprises a first guide surface adjoining a circumferential portion of the wheel that faces the fixed end. A second guide surface is provided opposite the first guide surface, which second surface converges towards the first guide surface in the direction of the free end of the wire catch body. According to the invention, the second guide surface is constituted by a portion, located remote from the first guide surface, of the circumferential portion of the wheel that faces the fixed end. The invention prevents the space between the first and the second guide surfaces from becoming clogged with compressed material.
