Granted: 2016-01-07
Abstract: Abstract A separation apparatus comprises a material separator positioned above a conveyor, the conveyor may be arranged to convey a mixture of materials to the material separator for separation. The material separator may comprise a suction duct comprising a sidewall. The sidewall may define a passageway linking an inlet positioned adjacent the conveyor to an outlet positioned away from the conveyor. The material separator may comprise an airflow generator arranged to blow air through a slit in the sidewall into the passageway at a position between the inlet and the outlet. In use, the airflow generator may low air through the slit in a direction which is towards the outlet. Blowing air towards the outlet may create a pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet to generate an airflow caused by air being sucked into the inlet. The sucking of air into the inlet may cause the relatively low density materials to be lifted from the conveyor and sucked into the passageway from the mixture of materials leaving relatively high density materials on the conveyor.
