An apparatus for sorting material, the apparatus including a frame, at least one first shaft rotatably mounted onto the frame, and at least one second shaft rotatably mounted onto the frame in a substantially adjacent and parallel relationship with respect to said at least one first shaft. The first and second shafts define a conveying surface along which material to be sorted is intended to travel via a rotation of the shafts. At least one single disc is mounted in a substantially traverse relationship with respect to the at least one first shaft. At least one compound disc is mounted in a substantially traverse relationship with respect to the at least one second shaft, each compound disc having a main disc and an associated secondary disc, each main disc having an outside perimeter greater than that of the associated secondary disc, each secondary disc being in alignment with the at least one single disc of an adjacent first shaft. Such a simplified disc arrangement enables namely to provide a zigzagging pattern of spacings, while enabling an easier interchangeably of components which is advantageous in reducing assembling, operating, maintenance and/or repair costs, as well as in improving sorting capability.

L'invention concerne un appareil de tri de matériau, l'appareil comportant un bâti, au moins un premier arbre monté rotatif sur le bâti, et au moins un deuxième arbre monté rotatif sur le bâti en position sensiblement adjacente et parallèle audit au moins un premier arbre. Lesdits au moins un premier et deuxième arbres définissent une surface de transport qu'un matériau à trier est appelé à parcourir grâce à la rotation des arbres. Au moins un disque simple est monté sensiblement transversalement audit au moins un premier arbre. Au moins un disque composé est monté sensiblement transversalement audit au moins un deuxième arbre, chaque disque composé comprenant un disque principal et un disque secondaire associé, le périmètre extérieur de chaque disque principal étant supérieur à celui du disque secondaire associé, chaque disque secondaire étant aligné sur ledit au moins un disque simple d'un premier arbre adjacent. Cette configuration de disques simplifiée permet de former une série d'espacements en zigzag tout en facilitant l'échange de composants, en réduisant ainsi les coûts de montage, d'exploitation, d'entretien et/ou de réparation et en améliorant l'efficacité du tri.
