A machine (10) for sorting recyclable matter includes a trommel (14) for conducting and screening an input flow of recyclable matter and a magnetic mechanism (30) coupled to the trommel (14) for extracting magnetic material from the input flow while the trommel rotates. The input flow is dropped vertically from the trommel (14) into a positive-pressure air separator (44) which separates the flow into a first material stream (50) including lightweight articles and a second material stream (59) including relatively heavy articles. The heavy articles of the second material stream drop downwardly in the air separator (44). Padded baffles (49, 58) are provided in the air separator (44) for reducing the downward velocity of the second material stream (59), which substantially lowers breakage of glass articles.

Un appareil (10) permettant de trier des matières recyclables comprend un crible à tambour (14) servant à transférer et à cribler un écoulement d'entrée de matières recyclables, ainsi qu'un mécanisme magnétique (30) couplé au tambour (14) afin d'extraire des matières magnétiques de l'écoulement d'entrée pendant que le tambour est en rotation. L'écoulement d'entrée tombe verticalement du tambour (14) dans un séparateur (44) à air à pression positive qui sépare l'écoulement en un premier courant (50) de matière comprenant des articles légers et un second courant (59) comprenant des articles relativement lourds. Les articles lourds du second courant tombent vers le bas dans le séparateur à air (44). Des chicanes matelassées (49, 58) sont prévues dans le séparateur (44) afin de réduire la vitesse descendante du second courant de matériau (59), ce qui réduit considérablement la cassure des articles en verre.
