A waste paper sorting conveyor for sorting waste paper from waste cardboard

摘要

A waste paper sorting conveyor for sorting waste paper from waste cardboard has a sorting bed formed by a row of rotatable, driven shafts (7) mutually spaced in a conveying direction (8) and each extending transversely to the conveying direction (8). The shafts (7) each carry a row of impellers (9) for intermittently urging material on the sorting conveyor upwards and in the conveying direction (8). The impellers (9) of each of the rows are mutually spaced in the longitudinal direction of the respective shaft (7). Rotary contours of impellers (9) carried by each of the shafts (7) project between rotary contours of the impellers (9) carried by a neighbouring one of the shafts (7). Since the mutual spacing of the impellers (9) of at least one of the rows in the longitudinal direction of the respective shaft (7) is adjustable, waste paper and waste cardboard mixtures of varying compositions can be sorted to an improved purity.
