摘要:
A device for separating lighter insulation material from heavier metallic material present in decomposed electric cables or the like, which device comprises an inlet (8) for mixed insulation and metallic material, and a first outlet for the insulation material and a second outlet for the metallic material, separate from the first outlet. The device further comprises a track (40) inclined relative to the horizontal plane, to which the mixed material is delivered from the inlet and which is profiled such that when a reciprocating movement is imparted thereto essentially in the plane of the track, the metal material is transported towards the upper end of the track where it is fed out through the second outlet while the insulation material is transported towards the lower end of the track where it is fed out through the first outlet.
