Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Date 2007-03-08 Abstract The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for separating a material stream consisting of several materials. The materials to be separated have different densities or density ranges, so that the material of the highest density can be discharged through a screen of the apparatus, while the material of the lowest density can be discharged via a first outlet located near the top of the liquid. Material of an intermediate density is discharged via a second outlet, located at a position above and near the screen. An extra liquid supply, directed in counter flow to the flow of the material stream to be separated, ensures the effective removal of material of the lowest density.
