The invention relates to a method for sorting a paper mixture according to
which the paper mixture is sorted into a fraction of mixed paper and a
fraction of deinking paper. The aim of the invention is to improve the sorting
process in such a way that the quality requirements of the deinking quality
can be reliably met and that the staff required for sorting is reduced. To
this end, the paper mixture is reduced to a grain size of approximately 40 to
100 mm and the reduced paper mixture is separated by air separation into a
heavy fraction that contains mixed paper and a light fraction that contains
deinking paper at a separation speed of approximately 1 to 5 m/sec. The
invention further relates to a device for sorting a paper mixture that allows
fulfillment of the quality requirements of the deinking quality and that can
be carried out with a reduced number of staff. To this end, a disintegrator
for disintegrating the paper mixture is provided. Downstream of said
disintegrator an air separator for separating the disintegrated paper mixture
into a heavy fraction and a light fraction is mounted. Said air separator has
a classification cross-section that can be adjusted to a separation speed of
between 1 and 5 m/sec.
La présente invention concerne un procédé de tri d'un mélange de papiers, dans lequel le mélange de papiers est séparé en une partie papier mixte et une partie papier apte au désencrage. Ce procédé permet de répondre aux exigences de qualité en ce qui concerne la qualité d'aptitude au désencrage et d'éviter d'avoir recours à trop de personnel pour effectuer le tri. Pour cela, le mélange de papiers est fractionné pour obtenir des morceaux dont la taille est comprise entre 40 et 100 mm et le mélange de papier fractionné est séparé par triage à vent en une fraction lourde composée de papier mixte et une fraction légère composée de papier apte au désencrage à une vitesse de séparation d'environ 1 à 5 m/s. L'invention concerne également un dispositif de tri d'un mélange de papiers permettant de répondre aux exigences de qualité en ce qui concerne la qualité d'aptitude au désencrage et d'éviter d'avoir recours à trop de personnel pour effectuer le tri. Pour cela, le dispositif comprend un élément de fractionnement destiné au fractionnement du mélange de papiers, et d'un séparateur à vent, situé en aval de l'élément de fractionnement, destiné à la séparation du mélange de papier fractionné en une fraction lourde et une fraction légère, présentant une vitesse de séparation réglable d'environ 1 à 5 m/s.
