Patent ID: 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. The bulk of metal is supplied to the brush rollers (01) by a supply device (05) such that the bulk of metal is deposited on the brush rollers (01) at least partly in the longitudinal direction of the rotational axes (A) and/or at least partly perpendicularly to a plane formed by the rotational axes (A).
