The invention relates to an installation for separating a heterogeneous product into light and heavy fractions. The installation is especially designed for treatment of solid urban waste and it consists of a ripper mill, a collection hood, a conveyor belt, a settling cyclone and a dust collector, all arranged in series. The ripper mill is designed to rip or tear material fed into the mill, and the collection hood is fed from the exit of the mill. The conveyor belt is disposed directly beneath the mill and moves in a direction from the mill to the exit of the hood.
