  • Patent number: 11072887
    Abstract: A compactly configurable device that classifies material containing fiber can more reliably recover classified content. A classifier has a mesh disc with numerous holes, and separates screenings that pass through the holes from remnants that do not pass through; a defibrated material spray nozzle disposed to one side of the mesh disc sprays defibrated material containing fiber onto the mesh disc; a suction conduit disposed to the other side of the mesh disc suctions the waste screenings that pass through the holes; and a recovery conduit disposed on the one side of the mesh disc suctions the processing feedstock that do not pass through the holes and in the mesh disc and remain on the mesh disc. The mesh disc is disposed so the a position of the holes can move from a spraying position opposite the defibrated material spray nozzle to a suction position opposite the recovery conduit. The recovery conduit suctions, at the suction position, processing feedstock that was left at the spraying position.
