Abstract: An apparatus for weighing objects of different lengths has a transport device with at least one transport element for transporting the objects in a transport direction, a weighing device arranged under the transport element, having a weighing plate with at least two weighing plate segments arranged one behind the other. The weighing plate segments each have a length. A detecting device upstream of the weighing device has at least one detecting unit for detecting the objects length. The first weighing plate segment has at least one weighing cell and generates a weighing signal of an object having a first maximum length. A downstream further weighing plate segment is connected to the first weighing plate segment by a connecting element having at least one weighing cell, and generates a weighing signal of an object having a first or second maximum length. A corresponding mention utilizes the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating mixed materials of different flowability includes a frame structure, a hollow drum with a perforated peripheral surface driven in rotation and mounted on the structure, a continuous compression belt pressed against the peripheral surface from outside when wrapped around part of the drum circumference and driven in circulation, a product intake wedge formed by the belt and drum for conducting a product stream, into the apparatus between the drum and the belt in an inlet area of the product stream, and a support apparatus for the belt, with at least one support element which is arranged on the side of the belt opposite the drum, wherein the support element is configured as a roller track with at least partially spring-mounted rollers arranged successively in the conveying direction. The spring force of at least individual rollers is controllable. A corresponding method is also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating materials with different flowability has a rotationally driven hollow drum with a perforated peripheral surface, stripping means for stripping away material, and a continuous compression belt pressed from outside onto the drum by wrapping around part of the circumference of the drum, an intake wedge for the material. The belt is mounted by a drive roller and bearing roller. The drive roller controllably variably presses into a pressing position against the drum, separated by the belt. The drive roller position is adjustably set by a first positioning device via a control device, with a first end abutment element for mechanical position limitation. Part of the first positioning device comes into blocking contact with a first counter-surface of the first end abutment element in the pressing position of the drive roller and the first counter-surface of the first end abutment element is adjustable by the control device.
