Abstract:
A toy recycling truck that shapes and extrudes formable material is described. A formable material is fed into a first opening, or door, on the top of the truck and is extruded out of a second opening at the back of the truck. The formable material is fed into a molding extruder having a molding device and an expeller. The molding device includes a first cylindrical roller and a second cylindrical roller with inset molds that are adjacent and that turn toward each other so that the formable material fills the molds with pushed into the molding device. A three dimensional figure is released from the molds and synchronized to be extruded by an expeller. The expeller includes a paddle wheel with one or more paddles that extrudes the three dimensional shape molded from the formable material.
Abstract:
Method for reusing bituminous products (11), in particular bitumen containing roofing materials and membranes, wherein the bitumen containing products are placed in a second hopper (9), where a particulate material having a grain size between 5 mm and 35 mm is placed in a first hopper (5), and that in the bottom of the second hopper, conveyor means (10) urges the bituminous material into a mixing chamber (8), and that inside said mixing chamber a milling and/or crushing wheel (14) is arranged, which wheel engages and crushes/mills the material transported from the second hopper in an engagement zone, and at the same position as the wheel engages the bituminous material, the particulate material by means of a first conveyor (7) is fed into the engagement zone, and that the wheel's action will fragment the materials and at the same time mix the fragmented bituminous materials and the particulate materials, and transport the material past a sieve (15) , where material having a particle size smaller than the sieve size will leave the mixing chamber and be collected and stored in suitable storage means.
Abstract:
A tire chopping apparatus includes a rotor assembly with a plurality of circumferentially and axially spaced rotor teeth which cooperate with a plurality of stationary teeth supported on a shear bar assembly to shearingly engage tire carcasses to reduce the carcasses to smaller fragments. A plurality of axially spaced guards extend outwardly from the shear bar assembly toward the rotor assembly and limit the size of fragments which can pass through a shear zone formed by the interengaging rotary and stationary teeth. The guards may be in the form of bridge plates spanning the rotor assembly or upstanding guard plates which extend upwardly from the shear bar assembly and include a distal end which extends outwardly toward and in horizontally spaced relation to the rotor mandrel.
Abstract:
For preparing plastic waste composed of different plastics, possibly combined with other materials, for further processing, for example, as additives for construction. A method of the invention comminutes the waste, metals are separated out, the plastic waste is agglomerated, and the agglomerated waste is comminuted further. A device according to the invention for performing the method uses comminution devices, metal separators, and at least one agglomerator. The entire device is completely mobile and equipped with its own power supply.
Abstract:
A method of reclaiming rubber from vehicle tyres that enables the high grade rubber in the tread portion of the tire to be collected separate from the lower grade rubber in the sidewalls and other areas of the tire. The method comprising separating the complete tread portion from the remainder of the tire and then removing from that tread portion the high grade tread rubber. Thereafter the remainder of the tread portion and the sidewall and bead portion of the tire are each treated to separate the rubber from metallic and fabric reinforcement materials therein. The high quality tread rubber and lower grade other rubber are both removed in a particulate form.
Abstract:
A pretreating plastic waste device including a tank containing a liquid to which the plastic waste is introduced, a washing pump, a dripping drum, and a dewatering device comprising a press-screw adapted for separating the washed waste from the washing liquid and a drying drum fed by a hot air blower, and a filtration vat. A programmable controller receiving signals from various level and temperature sensors and various working parameters allows total control, at all stages, of the waste pretreatment cycle. The programmable controller is associated with a screen for displaying error messages and a control desk for allowing direct selective intervention at the level of the concerned elements.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mobile inorganic recycling process and apparatus. In the preferred embodiment, the invention includes two vehicles, a first of which is utilized to receive hazardous wastes and mix them with treating chemicals and a second of which is provided to fixate the hazardous wastes into end products which are usable by consumers. The fixating vehicle includes a sophisticated scrubber designed to render inoffensive the hazardous gases which are created as a result of the process carried out in the vehicles. The inventive system is useful in converting all hazardous inorganic wastes into end products which do not include any hazardous aspect.
Abstract:
