TRANSVERSELY INCLINED RAMP SEPARATOR Abstract of the Disclosure A materials separator of the ramp type having a longi- tudinally inclined surface down which commingled materials travel for separation and having established along said surface a spatially alternating array of oppositely directed static magnetic fields which extend transversely at an oblique angle to the longitudinal centerline of said surface for exerting on electrically conductive items of commingled materials a laterally directed force component which deflects the elec- trically conductive items to one side of the longitudinal centerline while said electrically conductive items are travelling longitudinally along said surface, the longitudinally inclined surface also being provided with a transverse angle of inclination such that the electrically conductive items are deflected to said one side of the longitudinal centerline by overcoming an opposing laterally directed component of gravity which deflects dielectric items of the commingled materials to the other side of said longitudinal centerline. Thus, with a laterally directed component of gravity aiding in the separation of dielectric items from electrically conductive items the commingled materials may be deposited anywhere transversely on the input end portion of said inclined surface, thereby increasing the input feed capacity of the transversely inclined ramp-type separator as compared to the restricted input feed capacity of a conventional ramp-type separator of nonferromagnetic materials.
