An improved belt separator system and an improved method to separate particle mixtures based on triboelectric separation of particles is disclosed. The separator system includes a tensioning system embodying a tension roller and a two-part rotating shaft assembly.

Tension mechanism for belt-type triboelectric separator devices

An improved belt for use in a belt separation apparatus and an improved method to separate a particle mixture based on tribo-electric charging of particles is disclosed. The improved belt is particularly suitable for tribo-electric separation of particles that tend to accumulate on the edges of the belt separation apparatus and/or tend to compound, or blend, with the belt material. The improved belt comprises impermeable longitudinal edges, apertures interior to the longitudinal edges of the belt, and periodic notches formed in the longitudinal edges of the belt at periodic locations in the edge of the belt.
