A fractionating device comprises at least one inlet for feedstock, at least one light material outlet for a light material fraction and at least one heavy material outlet for a heavy material fraction. A flow generator for generating gas flow in the fractionating device for separating the light and heavy fractions. A curved centrifugal separating device separates the light material fraction from the gas flow. A conveyor downstream of the inlet carries the feedstock into the centrifugal separating device. At least 50% of the gas can be conducted in the fractionating device as a circulatory flow which is conducted around the conveying device.

Device and method for separating feedstock into at least one light material fraction and a heavy material fraction

The method for fractionating bulk material comprises the step of feeding the bulk material to at least one screen in a device () comprising at least one housing () with an inner space for receiving the screen. The housing () has at least one inlet () for feeding the bulk material and at least one outlet for discharging at least one fraction of the bulk material. The housing () has a roof () and a floor (), with at least a gyrating mass () respectively arranged on the roof and the floor. The device () also has at least one mechanical coupling means, wherein the gyrating masses are coupled to one another by the mechanical coupling means () arranged outside the inner space and can be driven. The device () has a drive means for driving the mechanical coupling means. The method also comprises the step of setting the housing () in an oscillating motion by means of driving the gyrating masses. In a further method step, the fractionating of the bulk material is performed by means of the screen. Subsequently, a discharge of at least one of the fractions of the bulk material from the housing takes place through the outlet.
