PURPOSE: To provide a discharging device and a discharging method separating a solid and fragile material such as ice from the low-voltage electric discharging device and having a long operating life by providing at least two separable electric conductor devices having a stationary state and an excited state and surrounded in a blanket.

CONSTITUTION: This discharge type separator 11 has a blanket 12 made of a thermoplastic material which surrounds slender ribbon-shaped conductor devices 13, 14. The conductor devices 13, 14 include a ribbon section 16 having an intermediate space 17, and the top conductor device 13 is aligned with the bottom conductor device 14. A spot electric connecting connector 22 is formed at a tab section 21 to make an electric connection between the top conductor device 13 and the bottom conductor device 14. A positive lead wire 23 is connected to the top conductor device 13, and a negative lead wire 24 is connected to the bottom conductor device 14. The conductor devices 13, 14 take a separating action according to the prescribed pattern in response to the repulsion generated by the magnetic field.
