  • Patent number: 12311382
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for separating dust-containing material mixtures which contain fibers, preferably glass fibers, and have heavy metal (SM) and/or precious metal (EM) from the process of recycling electric or electronic devices, wherein the method has at least one step (S1) of mechanically releasing particles from fiber-containing mixed material agglomerates in a dry manner and at least one step (S2) of mechanically releasing fiber-containing mixed material agglomerates in a dry manner.

  • Patent number: 11833545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for sorting out coins (02), in particular elongated parts (06) and/or copper mesh (07), from a bulk of metal, in particular a bulk of heavy metal and/or NE metal, comprising at least one sorting gap (04) for coins (02), each gap being delimited by at least two rollers. The rollers can be rotated about a rotational axis (A) by means of a drive (13) such that objects which cannot be conveyed through the sorting gap (04), in particular NE metal objects or heavy-metal objects, are forced away from the sorting gap (04) either in a direction along the rotational axes (A) or in a direction perpendicular to the rotational axes (A). According to the invention, the rollers are designed as brush rollers (01), and each brush roller has brushes with at least two different lengths.

  • Patent number: 11684952
    Abstract: A sorting device for sorting out coins from bulk material, includes at least one sorting gap (5) for coins that is limited by at least one roller (2) which can be rotated by a drive (33) about an axis of rotation (A) such that objects that cannot be conveyed through the sorting gap (5) are applied with force by the roller (2) in a direction away from the sorting gap (5) wherein a discharge hood (6) is provided for an eddy current separator device (29), which has an adjustable trajectory separator unit (4) in a hood interior (7), wherein the at least one roller (2) is arranged in or on the discharge hood (6) in relation to the trajectory separator unit (4) such that a non-ferrous metal fraction separated from the bulk material by the trajectory separator unit (4) is guided in the direction of the sorting gap (5) by the weight force of the non-ferrous metal objects (12).
