Abstract:
A separator for separating out a first solid particulate component from a mixture thereof with a second solid particular component which is of bigger particle size than the first solid particulate component, the separator comprising:a separating assembly comprising an articulated train of classifiers moving along a closed trajectory having a first section and a second section;each classifier comprising a first classifying element for allowing the first particulate component therethrough and for stopping the second particulate component;a first mixture feeding means provided on one side of the first section for feeding the mixture onto the separating assembly;a first receiving means provided on another side of the first section for receiving the first solid particulate component;a second mixture feeding-means provided on one side of the second section for feeding the mixture onto the assembly;a second receiving means provided on another side of the second section for receiving the first solid particulate component; anda first collection region located downstream along the trajectory from the first mixture feeding means, for receiving the second solid particulate component.
