Discrete Element Simulation of Vibration Density Screen

For the aim of sorting non-metallic shredder residue of body of end of life vehicle after disassembly, an innovative density screen is proposed. In this paper, the model of throwing and sliding of plastic and glass scrap of material for this equipment was defined. And then, the numerical simulation of vibration sorting process was carried out by the software of EDEM. The result of simulation showed that, plastic particle and glass particle can be separated at certain frequency and amplitude by this method.
