Abstract
A system for size reduction and separation of plastic-metal assemblies for the purpose of reclaiming the plastic and/or metal for reuse. The system includes a granulator followed by a fiber/dust separator with these components preferably being repeated, followed by a screening separator, and finally a hightension separator for separating plastic and metal. The system particularly incorporates an impact-counterflow separator for removing fiber/dust from heavier plastic and metallic particles.
