Patent number: 8857621Abstract: A material separation system includes a separation screen and an air directing device positioned above the separation screen. The separation screen has at least one rotating shaft, wherein the separation screen transports the relatively rigid material and relatively flexible material to the rotating shaft. The air directing device directs air towards the separation screen such that the relatively flexible material is blown beneath the rotating shaft in a first material stream, wherein the relatively rigid material continues on the separation screen past the rotating shaft in a second material stream.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2010Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Emerging Acquisitions, LLCInventors: Dane Campbell, Sean Austin, Engel Visscher

Patent number: 8430249Abstract: Multiple shafts are aligned along a frame and configured to rotate in a direction causing paper products to move along a separation screen. The shafts are configured with a shape and spacing so that substantially rigid pieces of the paper products move along the screen while non-rigid pieces of the paper products slide down between adjacent shafts. In one embodiment, the screen includes at least one vacuum shaft that has a first set of air input holes configured to suck air and retain the non-rigid paper products. A second set of air output holes are configured to blow out air to dislodge the paper products retained by the input holes.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Emerging Acquisitions, LLCInventors: Engel Visscher, Sean Austin
