Abstract
The invention relates to a device for separating elongate magnetizable objects from a material stream by length. The device includes a magnetic field, which magnetic field is homogeneous in a field zone; a transport device with a transport surface for carrying the material stream through the field zone in a transport direction, wherein the field direction in the field zone is oriented at right angles to the transport direction; and a separating device for carrying the elongate magnetizable objects separated by length out of the field zone in a separation direction, which separating device includes at least one take-up element which travels a path running at least partially through the field zone. In the path in the field zone the minimum distance between the at least one take-up element and the transport surface is a first distance which is smaller than or equal to the greatest main dimension of a cross-section of the field zone parallel to the transport surface. The invention also relates to a method for separating elongate magnetizable objects from a material stream by length.
