Abstract
The teachings herein relate to an inspection apparatus for visual inspection of elastic particles and to methods of inspecting elastic particles. The inspection apparatus employs at least one flap for stopping or reducing a horizontal portion of the movement of particles leaving a conveyer belt. Preferably the flap dissipates a part of the kinetic energy of the elastic particles and/or reducing a horizontal rebound of the elastic particles. The teachings herein may be employed in a method with improved accuracy of sorting elastic particles.
