Abstract

In order to enable a reliable and continuous separation of a solid material, a separating device includes a moving belt which revolves around deflection rollers. Transverse strips and longitudinal strips are provided on the moving belt. The transverse and longitudinal strips form screen surfaces. Solid material having a predetermined maximum dimension falls through these screen surfaces. The portions of solid material which are caught between the transverse strips are automatically loosened when the moving belt moves. In addition, portions of solid material which are caught between the longitudinal strips are removed by a cleaning rake thus guaranteeing an uninterrupted operation. The separating device is especially suited for separating pyrolysis residual material. A method of separating solid material is also provided.
