SEPARERINGSANORDNING FOR UTSKILLING AV LETTE PARTIKLER FRA EN PARTIKKELSTROEM

The invention concerns a separating arrangement for the separation of light particles from berries by means of an air flow. The arrangement includes a vertical separation pipe 1 and a feed pipe 2 connected to the separation pipe, as well as a feed arrangement 3. The lower end 4 of the separation pipe is open and the upper end 5 can be connected to a pipe system with partial vacuum, for example, to the suction hose of a vacuum cleaner, while the lighter particles making up the material flow that is fed into the separation pipe 1 by means of the feeding arrangement 3 are separated into the upward moving air flow through the separation pipe and the heavier particles sink from top to bottom through the separation pipe. Preferably an opening 6 is formed in the wall of the separation pipe 1, whose size can be adjusted by means of a regulating element 7. Furthermore, a portion of the wall of the separation pipe 1 is transparent.
