A process for separation and recovery of waste carpet components, wherein waste carpets are predominantly composed of a face fiber material, a backing material and an adhesive coating which includes latex and filler, said process comprising the following steps: A: shredding of waste carpets in a shredding machine wherein the size of the carpet is reduced to pieces with an average size of 5 to 10 cm with less than 2 wt. % of fine face fiber particles loss; B: sieving of the material obtained in step A through at least one screen that has a mesh with the size between 1 - 5 mm wherein predominantly filler is removed so that up to 10 wt. % of the filler calculated to the weight of the carpet is removed from the material; C: prewashing of the material obtained in step B in a pre-washer with a washing agent and wherein the material is wetted to reduce its volume and wherein the amount of the filler is further reduced by maximum of additional 5wt. % calculated to the weight of the carpet; or optionally the material obtained in step A is led to step B', to a dry centrifugal separation, wherein paddles, which are adjustably attached on the holders that are fixed to the shaft perpendicularly to the shaft axis and are rotatable along both axes at an angle, rotate with a high speed, hit the material obtained from step A, thus predominantly filler is loosened and removed from the material through a perforated bottom with the mesh with the size between 1 - 5 mm, so that up to 15 wt. % of the filler calculated to the weight of the carpet still remains in the material; D: washing of the material obtained in step C or in step B' in a high friction washer, wherein due to the action of high friction forces and water, the amount of the filler is reduced to less than 3 wt. % calculated to the weight of the carpet; E: dewatering of the material obtained in step D in a centrifuge wherein the excess water is removed from the material and wherein the water content in the material is up to 55 wt. %, the rest, up to 45 wt. % is predominantly fibers of the face fiber material and the backing material; F: fine wet grinding of the material obtained in step E in a wet granulator wherein the size reduction of the fibers takes place and wherein the size of the fibers is reduced to an average size of 10 mm; G: fluid separation of the material obtained in step F in a centrifuge with water wherein with the forces in the centrifuge which reach several 1000 g instant separation of fibers takes place and a heavy phase which contains pure nylon and a lighter phase which contains pure polypropylene fibers is obtained; H: recovery of separated fibers from step G for further processing. A: shredding of waste carpets in a shredding machine wherein the size of the carpet is reduced to pieces with an average size of 5 to 10 cm with less than 2 wt. % of fine face fiber particles loss; B: sieving of the material obtained in step A through at least one screen that has a mesh with the size between 1 - 5 mm wherein predominantly filler is removed so that up to 10 wt. % of the filler calculated to the weight of the carpet is removed from the material; C: prewashing of the material obtained in step B in a pre-washer with a washing agent and wherein the material is wetted to reduce its volume and wherein the amount of the filler is further reduced by maximum of additional 5wt. % calculated to the weight of the carpet; or optionally the material obtained in step A is led to step B', to a dry centrifugal separation, wherein paddles, which are adjustably attached on the holders that are fixed to the shaft perpendicularly to the shaft axis and are rotatable along both axes at an angle, rotate with a high speed, hit the material obtained from step A, thus predominantly filler is loosened and removed from the material through a perforated bottom with the mesh with the size between 1 - 5 mm, so that up to 15 wt. % of the filler calculated to the weight of the carpet still remains in the material; D: washing of the material obtained in step C or in step B' in a high friction washer, wherein due to the action of high friction forces and water, the amount of the filler is reduced to less than 3 wt. % calculated to the weight of the carpet; E: dewatering of the material obtained in step D in a centrifuge wherein the excess water is removed from the material and wherein the water content in the material is up to 55 wt. %, the rest, up to 45 wt. % is predominantly fibers of the face fiber material and the backing material; F: fine wet grinding of the material obtained in step E in a wet granulator wherein the size reduction of the fibers takes place and wherein the size of the fibers is reduced to an average size of 10 mm; G: fluid separation of the material obtained in step F in a centrifuge with water wherein with the forces in the centrifuge which reach several 1000 g instant separation of fibers takes place and a heavy phase which contains pure nylon and a lighter phase which contains pure polypropylene fibers is obtained; H: recovery of separated fibers from step G for further processing.
