Abstract
A sorting apparatus has a first casing section (1) with a larger diameter and a second casing section (2) with a relatively smaller diameter, which casing sections are generally aligned in series. A rotor (6) has rotor parts which are coordinated with each casing section and appropriately adapted. An impeller rotates in a churning space (5) of the first casing section (1) and a drum type rotor section (9) in the second casing section (2) supports sorting elements (16), which rotate in a strainer space (12) formed by a cylindrical strainer basket (11). This provides both despeckling and sorting in the machine, and separates the rejects with a high solid content.
