Abstract
A trough-like vibrating conveyor is used to sort and separate two differently shaped components in a mixture of materials of value. The mixture is separated into generally cylindrically shaped parts, such as hollow parts, and generally flat-shaped parts. The conveyor includes at least two unbalanced motors each arranged on an opposite side of the conveyor extending in the conveying direction. Further, the motors are offset relative to one another in the conveying direction. The vibrating conveyor affords a simple operation for separating the differently shaped components of the mixture as the mixture moves between the inlet and outlet ends of the conveyor and particularly for separating any glass particles. The conveyor requires little in the way of technical or personnel expenditure.
