1. A separator for separating mixed materials comprising:
- a vertically rotating horizontally oriented screen;
a three-dimensional material output positioned at a first end of the screen; and
a three-dimensional material separation pathway extending from the three-dimensional material output, the pathway having a plurality of different three-dimensional material separation points.

17. A method for separating mixed materials comprising;
-
separating a quantity of mixed materials through a vertical rotation of a horizontally oriented screen; collecting a three-dimensional portion of the mixed materials in a first output of the screen; transferring the three-dimensional portion of mixed materials to a three-dimensional material separation pathway; and separating different three-dimensional materials of the three-dimensional portion of the mixed materials from one another based upon different material characteristics at at least one separation point on the three-dimensional material separation pathway. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
