This paper discusses the design, mode of operation, influencing parameters, and research progress of the ZZ classifier, which has wide applications in recycling and other fields.
The zigzag (ZZ) classifier is a sorting and classification device with a wide range of applications (e.g. recycling, food industry). Due to the possible variation of geometry and process settings, the apparatus is used for various windows of operation due to the specifications of the separation (e.g. cut sizes from 100 mu m to several decimetres, compact and fluffy materials as well as foils). Since the ZZ classifier gains more and more interest in recycling applications, it is discussed in this paper, with regards to its design, mode of operation, influencing parameters and the research to date. Research on the ZZ-classifier has been ongoing on for more than 50 years and can be divided into mainly experimental studies and modelling approaches.
