Abstract

See full text

A sorting apparatus for sorting out coins from bulk metal, in particular from non-ferrous bulk metal and/or heavy bulk metal, includes a conveying system, provided with a conveyor belt (2), for conveying the bulk metal in a conveying direction (4) to a sorting slot (14) through which coins can pass and which is defined by a roller (10, 11), and, on the side opposite the roller (10, 11), by the conveyor belt (2), wherein the roller (10, 11) can be rotated about an axis of rotation (6, 7, 30, 31) by a drive such that the metal, which cannot be conveyed through the sorting slot (14) in the conveying direction (4), can be transported by the roller (10, 11) in a direction (13, 19, 22) leading away from the sorting slot (14) such that the metal can be removed at the side, wherein the sorting apparatus further comprises an apparatus for removing the metal, which is not conveyable through the sorting slot (14) in the conveying direction (4), and wherein the apparatus is embodied such that the removal of the metal to the two opposite sides of the conveyor belt takes place in an area in conveying direction (14) upstream of the roller (10, 11).
