The invention relates to an axial feeding method of the material to be separated in a dense-medium dynamic separator (1). This method is based on the principle of imparting to the material and to the fluid in which it is dispersed, in order to facilitate introduction thereof into the separator (1), a rotational velocity component with respect to the axis of the latter, in this way the particles of material have a movement corresponding to that of the dense medium circulating in the separator, so as to prevent uncontrolled dispersion of the particles inside it. The invention also comprises a feeding apparatus (2) for carrying out the abovementioned method. |

A water bath separator includes a tank for receiving a volume of water for forming a water bath having a top water surface and a light material conveyor path extending from the tank such that an upstream end of the light material conveyor path is closely below the top water surface when the tank is in filled operating condition. The light material conveyor path includes a sorting conveyor provided with a row of rotatable, driven shafts mutually spaced in a conveying direction and each extending transversally to that conveying direction. The shafts each carry a row of radially extending impellers for intermittently urging material on the sorting conveyor upward and in conveying direction, the impellers of each of said rows being mutually spaced in longitudinal direction of the respective shaft. The sorting conveyor has an upstream portion located in the tank such that an upstream end of the sorting conveyor is immersed in the water bath when the tank is in filled operating condition. |

The invention is an equalizing tray for evenly distributing food pieces in a food transport line, such as before a dewatering step and before a frying step. The even distribution of food pieces is accomplished by adjusting the shape of a tray bottom through raising or lowering the left or right tray side, by raising or lowering the tray center, and by tilting the entire tray. By changing the shape of the tray bottom, the depth of the liquid medium in which food pieces are transported is changed, resulting in even distribution of food pieces. |

Herbert K. Krause |
A system for separating construction debris into low density debris and high density debris. The construction debris is delivered into a rotating drum having front and rear discharge openings. The lower portion of the drum is filled with water, and the debris is deposited onto the water, with the low density debris floating at the surface and the high density debris descending to the bottom of the drum. A plurality of high velocity water jets are positioned forwardly of the debris receiving location to create a turbulent high velocity water flow at an upper zone of the water in the drum to move the wood and other low density material toward a rear converging passageway that leads into the rear discharge opening. The higher density material is carried by a scroll type conveyor forwardly in the drum to a forward discharge location where rotating paddles lift the high density debris upwardly and thence move it into the front discharge opening. Rear and front water separation and discharge sections are provided in the form of a fursto-conical structure having through openings to separate the water from the low density and high density debris. |

A device feeds curable, liquid containing material, especially residual concrete, residual mortar and the like, to a separator for separating the material into defined individual components. The feeding device includes a receiving trough for the material, in which a conveying screw is rotatably arranged. Through its rotation, the screw conveys the material to the separator. There is a barrier between the receiving trough and the separator which prevents liquid exchange, and that barrier is bridged by a transfer device which enables metered conveyance of the material through the barrier. |

There are described a method of and an apparatus for removing sand from waste water loaded with sand and organic substances which is set forth in circulation in a vertical container (1) in which the organic substance moves upward to an overflow (13), while the sand sinks downward toward a discharge conveyor (3) connected to the container (1) from beneath, and is discharged after a certain settling period. To achieve a substantial separation of the sand and the organic substances, the settled sand is stirred by an agitator, with simultaneous rinsing with fresh water delivered to the container bottom region, and is discharged in an amount, which insures a predetermined minimal height of the settled sand. |

The present invention provides a sorting method and a sorting device for sorting particles according to their settling velocities in a fluid medium. According to one aspect, the sorting method comprises admitting particles into a longitudinally vertically positioned container containing a fluid and allowing the particles to settle for a specified period of time under the influence of gravitational forces resulting in separation of the particles according to their settling velocities, followed by rotating the container by 90 degrees in order for the container to take a longitudinally horizontal position and thus allowing the separated particles to settle down and be collected in a sorted fashion. The sorting device comprises a container and means for achieving sorting of particles using this sorting method. |
