Shape separation on a rotating cone

The difference between rolling and sliding motion is a good basis for the separation of particles. The principle has already been applied in various shape separators. In this paper, experiments on a new rotating cone separator are presented, which is especially designed to process recycled materials...

Description
Summary:The difference between rolling and sliding motion is a good basis for the separation of particles. The principle has already been applied in various shape separators. In this paper, experiments on a new rotating cone separator are presented, which is especially designed to process recycled materials. A simulation model is used to first characterise materials in terms of shape and friction and then predict their separation on the rotating cone.
