Abstract
A particle deflector located between a particle feed stream of dissimilar particles and a collection receptacle. The deflector has a deflector surface facing the on coming particle feed stream. The particles are deflected by the surface and are collected in the receptacle. The surface defined by the collected particles is substantially flat and the dissimilar particles do not segregate.
