Abstract

An apparatus for providing free wire reclamation from a granulated stream of mixed metallic and nonmetallic material comprises a vibratory conveyor having a trough assembly mounted on a suspension system and coupled to a motor for causing the suspension system to vibrate. The trough assembly includes upper and lower vibrating troughs extending parallel to one another, the upper trough including at least one gap of a predetermined width. Each trough is arranged so as to feed a different output collection point, and at least one declumping zone comprising at least one perforated deck is situated in-line with the upper and lower troughs. A magnetic separator is arranged above the gap in the upper trough so as to pick up free metal. Rubber granules fall through the gap and are deposited in a receptacle, while metal is deposited on the upper trough which feeds a separate receptacle.
