Abstract: A material separator for separating at least two different materials of differing densities and/or sizes of particles. The material separator generally includes a tank containing a flocculent, a circulation system for circulating flocculent within the tank and a pair of conveyors for moving two different materials out of the tank. The tank may include an upper chamber and a lower chamber. At least a portion of each of the conveyors is located in the upper chamber to catch materials fed into the flocculent. Each of the conveyors may include a mesh belt that permits the flocculent to flow through the conveyor. The tank may include a clean out valve that permits fines and other debris accumulated within the upper chamber to pass into the lower chamber. The flocculent circulation assembly may include a nozzle that can be constructed in various configurations to create flows of flocculent of various velocities and trajectories.

Abstract: A system and method for sorting demolition debris into preselected groups, wherein the system comprises an initial screen for sorting out fine particulate material, a floatation tank for sorting the debris into floatable material and heavy material, a heavy material conveyor for removing the heavy material from the floatation tank, a magnetic conveyor for removing the ferrous metals from the heavy material conveyor, and a hand-sorting conveyor whereby various construction items are removed from the debris so that all that remains is pure concrete and brick debris.
