Abstract

Settling classifier for sorting mineral raw materials into at least three components includes container means wherein at least two separating baths of different density are received, the container means having a partition therein separating the baths one from another, a bucket wheel coordinated with the container means so as to be in communication with the separating baths and being rotatable in a plane extending parallel to the partition, the bucket wheel having a dividing ring therein operatively engaging the partition and dividing the bucket wheel into parts corresponding to the respective baths, the separating baths having respective elongated quadrilateral surfaces, the longitudinal direction of which extends in axial direction of the rotary bucket wheel.
