Patent ID: 7971724

Claim:
An apparatus for separating residues from a thermal waste treatment into at least one fine fraction and one coarse fraction, comprising: a housing abutting on swinging elements, said housing containing a plurality of non-perforated plates that are disposed diagonally offset one beneath the other and being equipped with means for generating a vibration component oriented in the direction of the plates disposed diagonally offset downward, wherein the plurality of non-perforated plates is swingable with said housing via the swinging elements and is oriented so that slag or residues being separated fall from an end region of an upper plate of the plurality of non-perforated plates onto a lower plate of the plurality of non-perforated plates, and wherein said housing prevents dust from escaping; and a suction line on a side of said housing for suction of gas flowing in a gas path across the slag or residue being separated, the gas path having a gas horizontal direction opposite to a separation material horizontal direction of a separation path of the slag or residues being separated along the plurality of non-perforated plates.
