Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Langfasern aus einer Faserstoffsuspension mit wenigstens einem Rotor mit Rotorflügeln, bei der ein Strahl der Faserstoffsuspension auf die Rotorflügel des Rotors gerichtet wird, die Strahlrichtung mit der Rotationsachse einen Winkel von weniger als 45° bildet, die Rotorflügel eine in Rotationsrichtung weisende Flügelkante aufweisen und im Schleuderbereich der Rotorflügel Auffangkammern für die von den Rotorflügeln abgeschleuderten, längeren Fasern angeordnet sindThe invention relates to a device for removing long fibers from a Faserstoffsus p ension with at least one rotor with rotor blades, in which a jet of pulp suspension is directed to the rotor blades of the rotor, the jet direction with the rotation axis forms an angle of less than 45 °, the Rotor blades have a pointing in the direction of rotation wing edge and in the centrifugal region of the rotor blades collecting chambers for the thrown from the rotor blades, longer fibers are arranged

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus WO 2012 1598 76 A1 bekannt, wobei dieses Dokument unter Artikel 54(3) EPÜ fällt, wobei jedoch die Konstruktion der Rotorflügel noch nicht voll befriedigt. Darüber hinaus beschreibt die WO 83/03857 eine ähnliche Vorrichtung mit rotierender Scheibe.Such a device is off WO 2012 159876 A1 This document falls under Article 54 (3) EPC, but the design of the rotor blades is still not fully satisfied. In addition, the describes WO 83/03857 a similar device with rotating disk.

Wenn eine neue Faserstoffsuspension aus Holz zubereitet oder wenn zurückgewonnenes Papier in eine Faserstoffsuspension umgewandelt wird, haben die Fasern im Allgemeinen sehr unterschiedliche Längen. Es kann dann vorteilhaft sein, die kurzen Zellulosefasern von langen Zellulosefasern zu trennen, vor allem um Papierblätter mit unterschiedlichen Qualitäten herstellen zu können.When a new pulp suspension is prepared from wood or when recovered paper is converted to a pulp suspension, the fibers generally have very different lengths. It may then be advantageous to separate the short cellulose fibers from long cellulose fibers, especially to be able to produce paper sheets with different qualities.

Gewöhnlich ist es dabei das Ziel, einerseits eine Kurzfaserfraktion, die überwiegend kurze Fasern enthält, deren mittlere Längen in der Größenordnung von unter einem Millimeter liegen, und andererseits eine Langfaserfraktion zu erhalten, die überwiegend Langfasern enthält, deren mittlere Längen in der Größenordnung von über eineinhalb Millimeter liegen.It is usually the goal, on the one hand a short fiber fraction containing predominantly short fibers whose average lengths are of the order of less than one millimeter, and on the other hand to obtain a long fiber fraction containing predominantly long fibers whose average lengths in the order of about one and a half Millimeters lie.

Die Gewinnung einer Langfaserfraktion, die lange Fasern enthält und beispielsweise frei von Mineralgehalten ist, kann ebenfalls interessant sein.The recovery of a long fiber fraction containing long fibers and, for example, free of mineral contents may also be of interest.

Meist werden derartige Anordnungen jedoch benutzt, um Altpapierfaser-Rohstoffe so weit aufzubereiten, dass sie als Rohstoff wieder zur Herstellung von Faserstoffbahnen verwendet werden können.
Gemischtes Altpapier besteht oft aus verschiedenen Sorten und hat im Vergleich zu Frischzellstoff ein relativ breites Faserlängenspektrum.
Hierzu ist es aus der DE 2018510 bekannt, die Faserstoffsuspension auf ein Lochsieb zu spritzen, wobei die Löcher jedoch zum Verstopfen neigen.
Most such arrangements are used, however, to recycle recovered paper fiber raw materials so that they can be used as raw material again for the production of fibrous webs.
Mixed waste paper often consists of different grades and has a relatively broad fiber length spectrum compared to virgin pulp.
For this it is from the DE 2018510 known to spray the pulp suspension on a perforated screen, but the holes tend to clog.

In der WO 01/29297 wird daher vorgeschlagen, ein Siebelement an einer Düse vorbeizuführen. Dabei wird das Siebelement von Drähten o.ä. gebildet, die in Bewegungsrichtung des Siebes verlaufen. Die Düse befindet sich außerhalb der Schleife des Siebelementes.
Auch dies kann hinsichtlich der Fraktionierwirkung noch nicht befriedigen.
In the WO 01/29297 Therefore, it is proposed to pass a sieve element on a nozzle. The screen element of wires or the like. formed, which run in the direction of movement of the wire. The nozzle is located outside the loop of the sieve element.
This, too, can not satisfy the fractionation effect.

Eine Verbesserung hinsichtlich des Fraktionierverfahrens konnte mit der WO 2010/018120 erreicht werden, bei der ein zylinderförmiges Siebelement von Stäben gebildete Sortierschlitze besitzt. Jedoch sind der Herstellungsaufwand und der Energiebedarf für die Freihaltung der Sortierschlitze mittels Reinigungsdüse relativ hoch.An improvement in terms of the fractionation process could be achieved with the WO 2010/018120 can be achieved, in which a cylindrical sieve element has sorting slots formed by rods. However, the production cost and the energy requirements for keeping clear the sorting slots by means of cleaning nozzle are relatively high.

Ähnlich verhält es sich auch, wenn unerwünschte Bestandteile der Faserstoffsuspension durch Waschen entfernt werden sollen.The situation is similar when unwanted constituents of the pulp suspension are to be removed by washing.

Hinsichtlich der Erfindung erstreckt sich der Begriff Faserstoffsuspension auch auf Fasern enthaltende Prozess- oder Abwässer, bei denen die Rückgewinnung der Fasern im Vordergrund steht.With regard to the invention, the term pulp suspension also extends to fibers containing process or wastewater, in which the recovery of the fibers is in the foreground.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher eine verschleißarme und effiziente Rotorgestaltung. Erfindungsgemäß wurde die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass über mindestens 50% der radialen Erstreckung der Rotorflügel der Abstand zwischen den Rotorflügeln 5 bis 10-mal größer ist als die Breite der Rotorflügel in der Rotationsebene.The object of the invention is therefore a low-wear and efficient rotor design. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that over at least 50% of the radial extent of the rotor blades, the distance between the rotor blades 5 to 10 times greater than the width of the rotor blades in the plane of rotation.

Auf diese Weise wird ein Optimum hinsichtlich der Stabilität und Verschleißfestigkeit der Rotorflügel, eines möglichst weitreichenden Erfassens der langen Fasern der Faserstoffsuspension durch die Rotorflügel sowie der Behandlung einer möglichst großen Menge an Faserstoffsuspension erreicht.In this way, an optimum in terms of stability and wear resistance of the rotor blades, the widest possible detection of the long fibers of the pulp suspension by the rotor blades and the treatment of the largest possible amount of pulp suspension is achieved.

Eine weitere Vergrößerung der Rotorflügel in der Rotationsebene würde zwar dessen Stabilität steigern, aber auch die Durchflussmenge einschränken. Dies gilt insbesondere für die hier angestrebte Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Rotorflügel zwischen 10 und 70, vorzugsweise zwischen 20 und 40 m/s.A further enlargement of the rotor blades in the plane of rotation would indeed increase its stability, but also limit the flow rate. This applies in particular to the target peripheral speed of the rotor blades between 10 and 70, preferably between 20 and 40 m / s.

Dabei soll die Flügelkante das Auffangen, Sammeln und Abschleudern der Langfaserfraktion in die Auffangkammern unterstützen. Daher ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Rotorflügel quer zur Rotationsebene eine Dicke zwischen 0,2 und 2 mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,3 und 0,7 mm haben.The wing edge should support the collection, collection and centrifuging of the long fiber fraction into the catchment chambers. Therefore, it is advantageous if the rotor blades have a thickness between 0.2 and 2 mm, preferably between 0.3 and 0.7 mm, transverse to the plane of rotation.

Um zu gewährleisten, dass die kurzen Fasern und Füllstoffe der Faserstoffsuspension möglichst problemlos an den Rotorflügeln vorbeiströmen, ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Rotorflügel ein flaches, vorzugsweise mit den langen Seitenflächen in Rotationsrichtung verlaufendes Profil aufweisen.In order to ensure that the short fibers and fillers of the pulp suspension flow past the rotor blades as easily as possible, it is advantageous if the rotor blades have a flat profile, preferably running with the long side surfaces in the direction of rotation.

Außerdem ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Rotorflügel in der Rotationsebene eine Breite zwischen 0,5 und 5 mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 1 und 3 mm haben und/oder der Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Rotorflügeln in der Rotationsebene zwischen 5 und 25 mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 10 und 15 mm liegt und/oder die Rotorflügel eine Länge zwischen 5 und 30 mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 10 und 20 mm haben.In addition, it is advantageous if the rotor blades in the rotation plane have a width between 0.5 and 5 mm, preferably between 1 and 3 mm and / or the distance between two adjacent rotor blades in the rotation plane between 5 and 25 mm, preferably between 10 and 15 mm and / or the rotor blades have a length between 5 and 30 mm, preferably between 10 and 20 mm.

Unabhängig von der Gestaltung Rotorflügel kann das radiale Hinausgleiten der Langfasern bis zum Abschleudern entlang der Flügelkante dadurch unterstützt werden, dass die Flügelkante radial nach außen zumindest in einem, vorzugsweise wenigstens dem äußersten Abschnitt bezüglich der Radialen entgegen der Rotationsrichtung geneigt verläuft, wobei der Winkel zwischen diesem geneigten Abschnitt der Flügelkante und der R adialen zwischen 30
und 70°, vorzugsweise zwischen 55 und 65° liegen sollte.
Regardless of the design of rotor blades, the radial outward sliding of the long fibers to the spin along the wing edge can be assisted by the fact that the wing edge is inclined radially outwardly at least in one, preferably at least the outermost portion with respect to the radial against the direction of rotation, wherein the angle between this inclined portion of the wing edge and the R adial between 30
and 70 °, preferably between 55 and 65 °.

Die Wirkung der Rotorflügel lässt sich des Weiteren steigern, wenn deren Vorderkanten nicht scharf sind, sondern eine gewisse Rundung aufweisen, wie dies bspw. durch Elektropolieren erzeugt werden kann.The effect of the rotor blades can be further increased if the leading edges are not sharp, but have a certain rounding, as can be generated, for example, by electropolishing.

Damit überwiegend nur die langen Fasern an Rotorflügeln haftenbleiben und an den Rotorflügeln radial nach außen rutschen und von dort abgeschleudert werden, sollten die Radien an der Flügelkante größer als 10% der Dicke der Rotorflügel quer zur Rotationsebene sein und /oder die Rauigkeit RA der Rotorflügel zumindest im Bereich der Flügelkante unter 1 liegen.So that predominantly only the long fibers stick to rotor blades and slip radially outward on the rotor blades and are thrown off from there, the radii on the blade edge should be greater than 10% of the thickness of the rotor blades transversely to the plane of rotation and / or the roughness R A of the rotor blades lie below 1 at least in the area of the wing edge.

Interesse einer möglichst gleichmäßigen Gestaltung sollte die Strahlrichtung des Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahles etwa parallel zur Rotationsachse des Rotors verlaufen.Interest in the most uniform possible design, the beam direction of the pulp suspension jet should be approximately parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor.

Hierbei ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Strahl über eine, den Strahl beschleunigende Düse auf die Rotorflügel gerichtet wird. Diese Beschleunigung bewirkt eineIn this case, it is advantageous if the jet is directed onto the rotor blades via a jet accelerating jet. This acceleration causes a

Ausrichtung der Fasern in Strömungsrichtung, was das Erfassen der Langfasern durch die Rotorflügel unterstützt.Orientation of the fibers in the flow direction, which supports the detection of long fibers by the rotor blades.

Des Weiteren hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Geschwindigkeit des Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahls beim Auftreffen auf die Rotorflügel zwischen 3 und 20 m/s liegt. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass möglichst nur die langen Fasern an den Rotorflügeln haftenbleiben, wobei der Anteil an entfernten Langfasern durch eine Erhöhung der Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Rotorflügel vergrößert werden kann.Furthermore, it has proved to be advantageous if the speed of the pulp suspension jet when hitting the rotor blades is between 3 and 20 m / s. In this way it is ensured that if possible only the long fibers adhere to the rotor blades, wherein the proportion of removed long fibers can be increased by increasing the peripheral speed of the rotor blades.

Damit das radiale Hinausgleiten und Abschleudern der Langfasern nicht beeinträchtigt wird, sollte sich der Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahl zumindest überwiegend, vorzugsweise ausschließlich nur über einen radial inneren Bereich der Rotorflügel erstrecken.
Eine umfassende Nutzung der Rotorflügel kann insbesondere dann erreicht werden, wenn der Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahl einen ringförmigen, die Rotationsachse des Rotors umschließenden Querschnitt besitzt. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, wenn der ringförmige Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahl eine Ringdicke zwischen 1 und 5 mm aufweist.
So that the radial sliding out and centrifuging of the long fibers is not impaired, the pulp suspension jet should extend at least predominantly, preferably exclusively only over a radially inner region of the rotor blades.
A comprehensive use of the rotor blades can be achieved, in particular, if the pulp suspension jet has an annular cross-section enclosing the axis of rotation of the rotor. It is advantageous if the annular pulp suspension jet has a ring thickness between 1 and 5 mm.

Außerdem sollte der Abstand zwischen der Düse und den Rotorflügeln kleiner als 20 mm, vorzugsweise kleiner als 10 und insbesondere kleiner als 5 mm sein.In addition, the distance between the nozzle and the rotor blades should be less than 20 mm, preferably less than 10 and in particular less than 5 mm.

Der geringe Abstand zwischen dem Düsenaustritt und den Rotorflügeln sorgt dafür, dass die infolge der Strahlbeschleunigung in der Düse verstärkte Ausrichtung der Fasern in Strömungsrichtung möglichst umfassend bis zum Auftreffen auf die Rotorflügel erhalten bleibt.The small distance between the nozzle outlet and the rotor blades ensures that the orientation of the fibers in the direction of flow, which is increased as a result of the jet acceleration in the nozzle, remains as extensive as possible until it hits the rotor blades.

Wegen der geringen Gefahr einer Verstopfung eignet sich die Erfindung auch zur Behandlung von Faserstoffsuspensionen mit Stoffdichte bis zu 3,5%, vorzugsweise bis 3,5%.Because of the low risk of constipation, the invention is also suitable for the treatment of pulp suspensions with consistency up to 3.5%, preferably up to 3.5%.

Nachfolgend soll die Erfindung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert werden.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment.

Wie in Figur 1 zu erkennen, wird in der Sortiervorrichtung zur Abspaltung einer überwiegend längere Fasern enthaltenden Langfaserfraktion aus einer Faserstoffsuspension zur Herstellung einer Papierbahn über einen zentral in einer Düse angeordneten Formkörper 10 ein ringförmiger Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahl gebildet und auf die Rotorflügel 2 eines Rotors 1 gerichtet.As in FIG. 1 In the sorting device, an annular pulp suspension jet is formed in the sorting device for splitting off a long fiber fraction containing predominantly longer fibers from a pulp suspension to produce a paper web via a mold body 10 arranged centrally in a nozzle and directed onto the rotor vanes 2 of a rotor 1.

Bei einer Störung oder einem Stillstand wird der Spalt zwischen dem, den Strahl 3 außen begrenzenden Düsengehäuse 11 und dem Formkörper 10 vergrößert. Dies ist bei dem in Figur 1 gezeigten Beispiel einfach durch eine Verschiebung des Düsengehäuses 11 entgegen der Strömungsrichtung möglich.
Dies soll ein Verstopfen des Spaltes mit Fasern verhindern.
In the event of a fault or a standstill, the gap between the nozzle housing 11 delimiting the jet 3 on the outside and the molded body 10 is increased. This is at the in FIG. 1 example shown simply by a displacement of the nozzle housing 11 against the flow direction possible.
This is to prevent clogging of the gap with fibers.

Der Formkörper 10 bewirkt eine Erhöhung der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Faserstoffsuspension und dabei eine verstärkte Ausrichtung der Fasern in Strömungsrichtung, was die Erfassung der Langfasern durch die Rotorflügel 2 unterstützt. Damit eine Ausrichtung der Fasern nicht zu stark verloren geht, beträgt der Abstand zwischen dem Austritt des Strahls 3 aus der Düse und den Rotorflügeln 2 nur 5 mm.The molded body 10 causes an increase in the flow rate of the pulp suspension and thereby an increased orientation of the fibers in the flow direction, which supports the detection of long fibers by the rotor blades 2. So that alignment of the fibers is not lost too much, is the distance between the exit of the jet 3 from the nozzle and the rotor blades 2 only 5 mm.

Der Rotor 1 wird hier von einem unterhalb angeordneten Motor angetrieben.
Dabei stimmt die Strahlrichtung des Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahls 3 mit der Rotorachse 4 des Rotors 1 überein, wobei die Geschwindigkeit des Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahls 3 beim Auftreffen auf die Rotorflügel 2 zwischen 3 und 20 m/s und die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Rotorflügel 2 zwischen 20 und 40 m/s liegt. Soll der Anteil an über die Rotorflügel 2 abgeteilten Langfasern erhöht werden, so ist hierzu die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Rotorflügel 2 zu erhöhen.
The rotor 1 is driven here by a motor arranged below.
The jet direction of the pulp suspension jet 3 coincides with the rotor axis 4 of the rotor 1, wherein the speed of the pulp suspension jet 3 when hitting the rotor blades 2 is between 3 and 20 m / s and the peripheral speed of the rotor blades 2 is between 20 and 40 m / s. If the proportion of long fibers separated off via the rotor blades 2 is to be increased, then the peripheral speed of the rotor blades 2 is to be increased for this purpose.

Beim Durchschneiden des Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahls 3 bleiben überwiegend längere Fasern an den Rotorflügeln 2 hängen. Diese können sich dort ansammeln und werden infolge der Zentrifugalkraft an den Rotorflügeln 2 radial nach außen wandern und anschließend abgeschleudert.
Damit das Abschleudern nicht durch den Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahl 3 beeinträchtigt wird, wird der Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahl 3 nur auf den radial inneren Teil der Rotorflügel 2 gerichtet, wobei die Ringstärke zwischen 1 und 5 mm liegt und die Rotorflügel 2 eine Länge zwischen 10 und 20 mm haben.
Außerdem überstreicht der Rotor mit den Rotorflügeln 2 eine Kreisfläche mit einem Durchmesser zwischen 300 und 1.500 mm, was auch bei einem ringförmigen Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahl 3 in Verbindung mit der angestrebten Strömungsgeschwindigkeit für eine ausreichende Kapazität sorgt.
When cutting through the pulp suspension jet 3, predominantly longer fibers remain suspended on the rotor blades 2. These can accumulate there and are due to the centrifugal force on the rotor blades 2 to move radially outward and then thrown off.
Thus, the centrifuging is not affected by the pulp suspension jet 3, the pulp suspension jet 3 is directed only to the radially inner part of the rotor blades 2, wherein the ring thickness is between 1 and 5 mm and the rotor blades 2 have a length between 10 and 20 mm.
In addition, the rotor with the rotor blades 2 sweeps a circular area with a diameter between 300 and 1,500 mm, which ensures sufficient capacity even with an annular pulp suspension jet 3 in conjunction with the desired flow rate.

Da der ringförmige Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahl 3 koaxial zur Rotationsachse 4 angeordnet ist, ergibt sich eine optimale und gleichmäßige Wirkung.
Zum Auffangen der langen, von den Rotorflügeln 2 abgeschleuderten Fasern (Langfaserfraktion) verläuft um den Rotor 1 im entsprechenden Schleuderbereich eine Auffangkammer 7. Der Rest der Faserstoffsuspension passiert die Rotorflügel 2 und wird darunter in einer Auffangwanne 12 aufgefangen und abgeführt.
Since the annular pulp suspension jet 3 is arranged coaxially to the axis of rotation 4, results in an optimal and uniform effect.
To catch the long, centrifuged by the rotor blades 2 fibers (long fiber fraction) extends around the rotor 1 in the corresponding spin area a catchment chamber 7. The rest of the pulp suspension passes through the rotor blades 2 and is collected and removed below in a drip pan 12.

Um das Einfangen der langen Fasern beim Durchschneiden des Faserstoffsuspensionsstrahls 3 zu unterstützen, haben die Rotorflügel 2 eine elektropolierte Oberfläche mit einer Rauigkeit RA von unter 1 µm und quer zur Rotationsebene 8 eine Dicke D zwischen 0,3 und 0,7 mm.
Außerdem haben die Rotorflügel 2, wie in Figur 4 dargestellt, ein flaches, in Rotationsrichtung 5 verlaufendes Querschnittsprofil, wobei die Radien R bei der in Rotationsrichtung 5 weisenden Flügelkante 6 größer als 10% der Dicke D der Rotorflügel 2 sind.
In order to assist the capture of the long fibers when cutting through the pulp suspension jet 3, the rotor vanes 2 have an electropolished surface with a roughness R A of less than 1 μm and a thickness D between 0.3 and 0.7 mm transverse to the plane of rotation 8.
In addition, the rotor blades 2, as in FIG. 4 shown, a flat, extending in the direction of rotation 5 cross-sectional profile, wherein the radii R in the direction of rotation 5 facing blade edge 6 are greater than 10% of the thickness D of the rotor blades 2.

In besonders einfacher Ausführung kann der Rotor 1 mit seinen Rotorflügeln 2, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, aus einem Blech gefertigt werden.
Wesentlich ist hierbei, wie im Detail in Figur 3 zu erkennen, dass die in Rotationsrichtung 5 weisende Flügelkante 6 radial nach außen bezüglich der Radialen entgegen der Rotationsrichtung 5 mit einem Winkel 9 zwischen 55 und 65° geneigt verläuft. Dies erleichtert den langen Fasern das Gleiten entlang der Flügelkante 6 nach außen.
In a particularly simple embodiment, the rotor 1 with its rotor blades 2, as in FIG. 2 shown to be made from a sheet metal.
It is essential here, as in detail in FIG. 3 to recognize that the pointing in the direction of rotation 5 wing edge 6 extends radially outward with respect to the radial opposite to the direction of rotation 5 at an angle 9 between 55 and 65 ° inclined. This facilitates the long fibers sliding along the wing edge 6 to the outside.

Dabei liegt die Breite der Rotorflügel 2 in der Rotationsebene 8 zwischen 1 und 3 mm und der Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Rotorflügeln 2 in der Rotationsebene 8 zwischen 10 und 15 mm.The width of the rotor blades 2 in the plane of rotation 8 is between 1 and 3 mm and the distance between two adjacent rotor blades 2 in the plane of rotation 8 between 10 and 15 mm.

Zur Gewährleistung einer ausreichenden Stabilität der Rotorflügel 2 und einer ausreichend großen freien Fläche für den Suspensionsstrahl 3 ist die von den Rotorflügeln 2 überstrichene Fläche 5 bis 10-mal größer als die Gesamtfläche aller Rotorflügel 2 in der Rotationsebene 8. Des Weiteren ist aus gleichem Grund über mindestens 50% der radialen Erstreckung der Rotorflügel 2 der Abstand zwischen benachbarten Rotorflügeln 2 5 bis 10-mal größer als die Breite dieser Rotorflügel 2 in der Rotationsebene 8.To ensure sufficient stability of the rotor blades 2 and a sufficiently large free surface for the suspension jet 3, the area swept by the rotor blades 2 is 5 to 10 times greater than the total area of all the rotor blades 2 in the plane of rotation 8. Furthermore, for the same reason at least 50% of the radial extent of the rotor blades 2, the distance between adjacent rotor blades 2 5 to 10 times larger than the width of these rotor blades 2 in the plane of rotation. 8

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung können auch mehrere erfindungsgemäße Sortiervorrichtungen eine gemeinsame Rotationsachse 4 und damit auch einen gemeinsamen Antrieb benutzen. Dabei können die Sortiervorrichtungen in Reihen- oder Parallelschaltung betrieben werden.
Auch der Aufbau der Rotors 1 aus mehreren Segmenten kann vorteilhaft sein.
In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of sorting devices according to the invention can also use a common axis of rotation 4 and thus also a common drive. The sorting devices can be operated in series or parallel connection.
The structure of the rotor 1 of several segments may be advantageous.
