    - séparer les particules libres hors du flux d'articles en forme de bâtonnets à l'intérieur de la chambre de séparation (11) en détournant le débit d'air de l'air comprimé pneumatique avec les particules libres hors d'un canal de guidage (16) d'un élément de guidage, dans lequel le flux d'articles en forme de bâtonnets est guidé à travers la chambre de séparation (11), tandis que le flux d'articles en forme de bâtonnets continue à être transporté dans le canal de guidage (16) à travers la chambre de séparation (11),
    - déverser le flux d'articles en forme de bâtonnets hors du dispositif (10)
    - tandis que les particules libres sont collectées dans la chambre de séparation (11) et déviées séparément,
    caractérisé en ce que les particules libres du flux d'articles en forme de bâtonnets, en entrant dans le dispositif (10), sont sorties du canal de guidage (16) par un agrandissement de volume soudain dû au rapport de section transversale du canal de guidage (16) et de la chambre de séparation (11), dans lequel la séparation des particules libres s'effectue d'une manière passive, à savoir sans alimentation supplémentaire d'énergie.
  13. Procédé selon la revendication 12, caractérisé en ce que le flux d'articles en forme de bâtonnets, relativement à la section transversale de la chambre de séparation (11), est alimenté de manière excentrée par rapport à l'axe médian de celle-ci, de sorte que le débit d'air de l'air comprimé pneumatique est dirigé vers le bas.
  14. Procédé selon la revendication 12 ou 13, caractérisé en ce que le débit d'air de l'air comprimé pneumatique, en entrant dans la chambre de séparation (11), expérimente une interruption de débit par des éléments directeurs (28) à l'intérieur de la chambre de séparation (11) et/ou par des projections (26) à l'intérieur de la chambre de séparation (11).
