A method and apparatus for separation and cleaningof fibers for papermaking machines for the removal of rejectmaterial such as tramp iron and knots, delivering a flow offibers with mixed reject material and releasing the flow todescend gravitationally downwardly, splitting the flow intoplural streams and deflecting the streams with an adjustablepanel to control the angle, directing jets of air across thedescending streams so that heavier reject materials fallsdownwardly and the fibers are carried laterally outwardly ofeach of the streams with a plate at the base of the streamsadjustable to vary the zones for the rejects and for theacceptable fibers.
