Abstract: A method and system for recycling wind turbine blades. A scalper scalps off balsa wood and foam from recycled composite chips, a lump breaker shatters the chips produced by the scalper, a hammer mill breaks fiber chips produced by the lump breaker to reduce the chips to strand clusters, a vibratory screen and cyclone air classifier or circular vibratory screener separate strand clusters of acceptable size from larger strand clusters that require repeated processing with a hammer mill, another vibratory screen and cyclone air classifier or circular vibratory screener further separate strand clusters of acceptable size from larger strand clusters that require repeated processing with a hammer mill, and a granulator pulverizes the resulting fiber strand into micro-fibers that can be used as reinforcement fibers.

Abstract: This invention comprises a method and a device for separating plastic materials in accordance with their chemical composition. That is based on the difference in density of such materials, since each individual plastic material possesses a density, which is unique for such individual plastic material and reflects its chemical nature. Pure plastic material obtained by this invention may then be returned to a material specific re-usage. For this purpose a flotation process has been developed which works with a flotation liquid that is put into vibration, the frequency of that is controlled in accordance of the density of the particles to settle. Heavier plastic particles settle on a perforated plate bottom and are removed to a collecting container filled with the same liquid to the same level as the flotation tank. Lighter plastic particles float to the surface and are fed into a follow-up flotation tank for further separation.

Abstract: A rubber grinding machine and method is provided for ambient temperature grinding of rubber material to form finely ground rubber particles. The rubber grinding machine includes a feed tube, a grinding module, a conveyor, a screening module and a vacuum system. Rubber material is placed in the feed tube which advances the rubber material into the grinding module using a plunger or auger. The grinding module includes a grinding wheel which grinds the rubber material into rubber particles. The grinding wheel is surrounded by a shroud which includes a water-cooled cooling jacket. The water is circulated through the cooling jacket to cool the shroud and its interior. Rubber particles ground by the grinding wheel fall through the bottom of the shroud onto a conveyor which deposits the rubber particles onto the screen module. The screen module includes at least one screen for separating the rubber particles by size. Rubber dust produced by the grinding wheel is processed by a vacuum system and may later be screened.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for sorting out shredder waste allows for lower sorting cost and higher sorting accuracy to be achieved. Shredder waste is fed into a hopper to untangle it. The untangled shredder waste is quantatively supplied into a separating duct wherein the shredder waste is subjected to steam by a steam injector so as to be further untangled. The shredder waste that has been further untangled in the separating duct is carried, while being agitated, into a striker. In the striker, the shredder waste is struck by chains that swing as a rotating shaft rotates, so that harness waste or the like is separated from the shredder waste. The separated harness waste or the like is transferred on to a conveyor through an outlet. On the conveyor, the harness waste is separated from heavy materials, such as rubber and rigid plastics.

Abstract: Used products, which would otherwise be disposed of as waste, are subjected to low temperature lowering the temperature of the product to approximately the temperature of crystallization of the components thereof. The product at this lowered temperature is then crushed sufficiently to cause the components thereof to release sufficiently to be subsequently separated according to material. The separation steps can include subjecting the crushed material to magnetic or electrostatic fields, air flows caused by either pressurized air or vacuums, and mechanical separation with vibratory screens and rakes. The materials of the original product are sufficiently separated to enable them to be recycled into usable product. The particular example cited relates to vehicle tires with the materials recovered including rubber, fiber and metal bands.
