ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for sorting plastic pieces by specific gravity sorting includes a vessel containing water and having an inlet for plastic pieces to be sorted, a device for introducing plastic pieces to be sorted into the vessel through the inlet, a device for removing air bubbles from the plastic pieces within the water, and a device for moving the plastic pieces within the water in the vessel to allow the various plastic pieces to be sorted within the water due to the different specific gravities of the plastic pieces. A method of sorting plastic pieces by specific gravity sorting with the apparatus is also described.
