An apparatus for sorting particles of a bulk material moving on a transport ribbon (38) comprises an electro optical monitoring unit (101) above transport ribbon (38) for detecting the particles to be sorted out. Jet nozzles (45, 46) are controlled by a signal emitted by this electro optical monitoring unit (40), the jet nozzles being provided at the side opposite the bulk material of transport ribbon (38), which consists of an air permeable material. By means of the gas jet passing through transport ribbon (38), the particles to be sorted out are lifted off from the transport ribbon and are thrown into storage containers (47, 48). The bulk material is passed through a gap between rollers or grinding elements to provide flake-shaped particles which are then observed to provide first and second measurements which are subtracted from each other. A vibrating conveyor 87 with feeding channels 87.1 separate particles for disposition upon a ribbon 538 with the aid of a jet nozzle n.

Individualizing service for sorting particles of a bulk material

Impact mill comprising a housing (1) wherein a drivable centrifugal rotor (3) rotatable about a rotational axis (8) and an impact body (7) enclosing this centrifugal rotor are provided. At least one sensor (11, 111, 211, 311, 411) is assigned to the impact ring (7), which sensor functions during the operation of the mill and which is designed for detecting at least the operational efficiency, preferably also for determining the extent of the wear of the impact ring (7). The sensor (11) senses the impact body (7) through an opening (12) in its annular or cylindrically-shaped housing (13).
