ABSTRACT:
A spool separating device for separating spool tubes with a relatively smaller diameter from finished wound spools with a relatively larger diameter, includes a vibratory conveyor with a bottom, an upper end, a sliding surface extended spirally upward along a given spool transport direction from the bottom to the upper end, a wall outwardly bordering the sliding surface, the wall having a slot formed at a given location therein, the slot having a height being greater than the diameter of a spool tube and smaller than the diameter of a finished wound spool and a length being greater than the length of a spool tube, an adjustable wall section in a position bordering the top of the slot determining the height of the slot, the adjustable wall section being resiliently moveable out of the position in the event of spool jamming, and an additional wall section determining the depth of the slot and approaching the bordering wall in the given spool transport direction for guiding the end of a spool tube of a spool which cannot fit completely through the slot back onto the sliding surface.
