Separation device with a conveyor feeding system
A separation device has a conveying channel configuration and a transport belt configuration. A conveying material can be conveyed via the conveying channel configuration on the transport belt configuration, the conveying channel configuration has differently inclined regions, and a speed cascade of the conveyed material stream can be achieved by the differently inclined regions. The separation of the conveyed material stream is improved in that the conveying channel configuration has at least one wedge groove.

4. The separation device according to claim 2 , further comprising a filling level sensor associated with said driven bunker chute, it being possible for the stream of the material to be conveyed to be detected within said driven bunker chute by means of said filling level sensor.
5. The separation device according to claim 4 , wherein said driven bunker chute can be regulated and/or controlled in a manner which is dependent on sensor data of said filling level sensor.
6. The separation device according to claim 1 , wherein said transport belt configuration has an endlessly circulating transport belt, said endlessly circulating transport belt being of troughed and/or V-shaped configuration in one region.
7. The separation device according to claim 6 , wherein the material to be conveyed passes from said second wedge-shaped chute to said endlessly circulating transport belt into said region of said troughed and/or V-shaped configuration of said endlessly circulating transport belt.
8. The separation device according to claim 6 , wherein said endlessly circulating transport belt is of dimpled or corrugated configuration.
9. The separation device according to claim 1 , wherein said second wedge-shaped chute is a last wedge-shaped chute.
10. A separation device, comprising:
a transport belt configuration having two conveyor belts which are arranged in a V-shaped manner with respect to one another; and
a conveyor chute configuration for conveying a material to be conveyed to said transport belt configuration, said conveyor chute configuration having regions being inclined to a different extent, and it being possible for a speed cascade of a stream of the material to be conveyed to be achieved by way of said regions which are inclined to the different extent, said conveyor chute configuration having a first wedge-shaped chute and a second wedge-shaped chute, said second wedge-shaped chute being disposed downstream of said first wedge-shaped chute, said second wedge-shaped chute for conveying the material to said transport belt configuration, said second wedge-shaped chute being disposed or being capable of being disposed in a manner which is inclined to a greater extent than said first wedge-shaped chute.
11. A sorting apparatus, comprising:
a separation device including a transport belt configuration having an endlessly circulating transport belt, said endlessly circulating transport belt being flat in a first region and being a troughed and/or V-shaped configuration in second region downstream from the first region, and
a conveyor chute configuration for conveying a material to be conveyed to said transport belt configuration, said conveyor chute configuration having regions being inclined to a different extent, and it being possible for a speed cascade of a stream of the material to be conveyed to be achieved by way of said regions which are inclined to the different extent, said conveyor chute configuration having a first wedge-shaped chute and a second wedge-shaped chute, said second wedge-shaped chute being disposed downstream of said first wedge-shaped chute, said second wedge-shaped chute for conveying the material to said transport belt configuration, said second wedge-shaped chute being disposed or being capable of being disposed in a manner which is inclined to a greater extent than said first wedge-shaped chute; and
at least one of a first sensor for determining a material property or a second sensor for determining a position of the material to be conveyed or parts of the material to be conveyed on said transport belt configuration.
