CLASSIFYING DEVICE

PURPOSE:To classify a large volume of raw materials with the simple device by disposing a segmenting means into the locus drawn by falling raw materials by the tail part of a belt conveyor and segmenting large lumps to an outer side and small lamps to an inner side with the segmenting means as a boundary. CONSTITUTION:A beater cleaner 4 is provided to the rear surface of the belt conveyor 1 and the conveyor 1 is oscillated. The raw materials 5 on the conveyor 1 are so segmented by the oscillation that the large lumps are brought to the upper side and the small lumps to the lower side. The pawl-shaped segmenting plate 2 having a parabolic shape and a sharp pointed tip is disposed in the falling locus drawn by the raw materials 5 falling from the tail part of the conveyor 1 and is moved horizontally forward and backward within the raw material locus by a power cylinder 3 supported horizontally movably forward and backward to and from the conveyor 1. The raw materials are thereby easily segmented to the large lumps falling parabolically from the conveyor 1 and the small lumps falling straightforward as they are.
