Abstract

A method is provided of separating non-homogeneous materials, such as solid waste by-products from a foundry, by classifying the materials according to size through a series of classifying screens recognizing that particular types of materials within the entire sample tend to fall within certain size ranges permitting the sample to be sorted to a degree according to size to concentrate particular types of materials.
