Abstract
An apparatus for sorting waste material, in particular plastic waste and hollow parts made of plastic. The waste material to be sorted is placed in an unsorted manner on a conveyor belt and moved below a sensor. The sensor examines the waste to determine the type of material and/or the color of the material, the waste being sorted depending on the type of material or its color. The conveyor is provided with a grate-like structure, and blow-out nozzles are arranged below the conveyor belt.
