Abstract:
Embodiments relate to one or more techniques that may be employed alone or in combination, in the refurbishment or recycling of used solar modules. In certain approaches, a (heated) wire may be used to cut through one or more layers (e.g., front encapsulant, back encapsulant, both front and back encapsulant, backsheet) of a solar module that is being recycled or refurbished. Some approaches may employ testing of a used solar module, alone or in combination with information (e.g., as part of a received package) regarding parameters of a used solar module such as panel size, width, length, height, thickness of glass, or others. According to specific embodiments, used solar modules may be subjected to various cleaning processes at one or more points during refurbishment/recycling.

Abstract:
A crusher hammer lifting device facilitates raising and lowering of a hammer mountable at a rotor of a horizontal shaft impact crusher (HSi-crusher). The device includes a main body, a mount engager for attachment to an auxiliary lifting tool and a hammer attachment for releasably mounting the hammer in a rotatable manner at the device.
Abstract:
A pretensioning cable assembly for a crusher is disclosed in which the assembly comprises an anchor member having a tapered aperture, a cable having an end for being inserted into and through the tapered aperture of the anchor member, and an anchor wedge positioned on the end of the cable for securing the end of the cable in the tapered aperture.
Abstract:
A mill for grinding rubbish. The mill comprises at least one grinding chamber defined by a side wall and a floor. The mill also comprises at least two rotors and rotatable about respective substantially vertical axes and. Each of the rotors comprises a hub and a plurality of chains connected to the hub and designed to sweep over part of the grinding chamber during rotation of the rotor.
Abstract:
The invention is an improvement on existing crushers that allows a significant reduction in the operating cost of said crushers while allowing, among other things, a substantial economy in the material from which the rotor protection elements of said crushers are manufactured.A subject of the invention is a protection block for a rotor of a material crusher, particularly the rotors of scrap metal crushers, comprising a first piece or armouring plate (2.2) itself comprising, detachably or non-detachably fixed on its inner face, a first fixing means (2.3), and a second piece, independent of the first piece, forming a second fixing means (2.4).
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to, among other things, a classifier assembly for mounting on the center shaft of a rotary coal pulverizer which includes a labyrinthian sealing arrangement operatively associated with the shaft for limiting the egress of unacceptably large coal particles from the pulverizer.
Abstract:
The invention is a mill rod puller which removes mill rods from hammermills or similar devices through the use of a reciprocating hydraulic action. The rod puller includes a support frame and a rod extension that attaches to an end of the rods of the hammermill. The rod extension has a number of attachment points for attaching the rod extension to a reciprocating force generator. The reciprocating force generator then moves away from the hammermill, and pulls the rod extension with it, and also pulls the rod to which the rod extension is attached, in increments.
Abstract:
A vertical shaft impact crusher having a suspended impeller attachable to a hollow spindle with a modified gun lock system secured in place by fixed stops and sliding stops cam operated and clamped by a gear rotated nut. Said spindle journalled in a single ball bearing contained in a housing supported on flexible means; lubricant force jetted into said bearing from a pump initially driven by a small motor followed by being driven by one of two motors driving said spindle to insure against loss of lubricant by power failure to small motor. A frame supported by four vertical columns; a second smaller frame within said columns and connected to elevating means to raise and lower said smaller frame; self latching means to hold said smaller frame at its upper elevated position; camming means to release self latching means. An annular chamber centered on said smaller frame and attached to frame by bolts is partially covered over on its top; its uncovered portion is sealed against a member supporting a complete bearing-spindle assembly; The underside of said annular chamber has a center opening to discharge crushed product into a conical hopper having a telescoping extension. Two opposed motors each suspended below swingable frames drive said spindle with multiple vee belts; an inverted cup shaped vee sheave is attached to the top face of said spindle; it has the same number of vee grooves above and below a plane through the rolling elements of said ball bearing; motor sheaves positioned to drive an equal number of belts above and below said plane with balanced pulling forces. Said motor bases push-pulled by power means with pushing mode having belt tension control. A hopper above said spindle has a static tube depending through said hollow spindle and into said impeller a designed distance and bypass means spaced apart farther than the diameter of said impeller.
