There is provided a microparticle sorting device that automatically optimizes a fluid stream.There is provided a microparticle sorting device that includes a voltage supply unit that supplies a driving voltage to a vibratory element that applies vibration to an orifice that produces a fluid stream, a charge unit that imparts charge to at least some droplets ejected from the orifice, deflecting plates, arranged opposing each other with the fluid stream S therebetween, that vary a travel direction of the droplets, and a first image sensor that acquires an image of the droplets passing between the deflecting plates. The microparticle sorting device is equipped with a controller that detects the droplets in the image, sets a standard band corresponding to a width of the droplets before imparting the charge, and controls the driving voltage of the voltage supply unit so as to further decrease a quantity of the droplets detected in areas within a designated number of pixels from the standard band from among the droplets after imparting the charge.

摘要:
An electrostatic separator of the free-fall type for classifying triboelectrically charged substance mixtures. This separator has a separate voltage source connected to each of the electrodes forming a pair of electrodes in such a way that the one voltage source supplies a positive voltage against ground potential and the other voltage source supplies a negative voltage against ground potential. This causes the potential difference against ground to be equal to zero in the center of the separator.

The electrical drum-type separator for separating a mixture of electrically non-conductive and conductive particles, comprising a housing (1) having a drum (3) mounted therein for rotation about a vertical axis, serving as a precipitation electrode, means (5) for feeding a mixture of loose materials onto the peripheral surface of the drum, at least two corona-discharge electrodes (10) for charging particles of the mixture of loose materials in the electric field set up between each corona-discharge electrode and a portion of the peripheral surface of the drum (3), and brushes (15) for sweeping non-conductive particles off the peripheral surface of the drum, equalling in number the corona-discharge electrodes. The corona-discharge electrodes (10), and brushes (15) are spaced substantially uniformly about the peripheral surface of the drum (3) underlied by receptacles (17,18,19) equalling in number the corona-discharge electrodes (10), arranged in the paths of the streams of electrically conductive particles, aggregates of electrically conductive and non-conductive particles, and non-conductive particles.
摘要:
An elecrtrostatic separation of paper- and synthetic plastic material-containing mixtures is performed by comminuting the mixture, triboelectrically charging the comminuted mixture, and supplying it into a free-fall separator, wherein a paper-enriched and a synthetic plastic material-enriched fraction are produced, and in some cases they can be treated in a second electrostatic separation step to pure products.
摘要:
An electrostatic free-fall separator has a feeding arrangement located upstream of the separator for feeding of fine-particle material to be separated into the electrostatic free-fall separator, wherein the feeding arrangement is formed as a funnel with braking inserts of an electrically insulated material and has walls limiting at their lower edge a longitudinal outlet slot, wherein the funnel has an inlet which is formed by one wall portion which is parallel to the outlet slot and an opposite inclined guiding surface with a lower edge extending parallel to the one wall portion so as to limit simultaneously a passage leading to the outlet slot, and two substantially vertical electrodes are arranged below the passage at a distance from one another which is smaller than the width of the passage.
