Abstract

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to a mobile apparatus for handling in particular highly toxic waste. On a carriage a filling hopper is mounted beneath which stable packaging containers can be arranged. After filling of the packaging containers the latter are sealed and for example transported to an in-cinerating plant, An advantage is the facilitation of the handling of the highly toxic waste because on unloading the filled packaging containers and handling them at the place of disposal it is no longer necessary to work under full protection, i.e. less stringent safety and protection regu-lations apply to the packaged waste.

DESCRIPTION

The invention relates to a mobile apparatus for packaging in particular highly toxic waste for transport for example to an incineration plant.
: In the removal of highly toxic waste it was hitherto usual to load the waste material at the place where it arises onto a vehicle and then bring said material to the place of dis-posal, for example an .inc:ineration plant, where the waste 2~ material is unloaded from the vehicle and introduced into an incinerator.
`:
:~ With this mode of operati.on it is absolutely essential. and ; : required by government regulations both when picking up the 2~ waste, i.e. for example :I.oading the vehicle, and discharg-ing the waste, for exampl.e unIoading the vehicle and intro-ducing the waste into an incinerator, to work under full protection and this means.> that a whole series of official safety regulations must be observed.

Due to these safety and protection regulations to be observed by all persons coming into contact with the waste the handling and transport oE toxic waste is very involved as regards time and the prol:ective precautions to be adopted.
:~ 35 ~

:~3~67 l The invention is therefore based on the problern of further developing an apparatus of the type rnentioned at the beginn-ing in such a manner that the protective measures in handling the toxic waste can be reducecl. Preferably, the time re-quired is also to be reduced.

According to the inventic,n this is achieved in that on acarriage a filling hopper for the waste material is mounted, that furthermore a means for supplying empty packaging con-tainers beneath the hopper and for removing the filled pack-aging containers is disposed on the loading surface of the carriage and that a means for sealing the filled packaging containers is disposed on the carriage.

The mobile apparatus according to the invention makes it possible to bring the carriage with the means for packaging the toxic material to the respective location where the toxic material accrues. It is there packaged in situ observ-ing the necessary safety and protective measures. The packaged toxic material is then driven on ordinary trucks to the place of disposal, i.e. to an incinerator plant, where it is introduced together with the packaging containers directly into the incinerator.

In the transport of the filled and sealed packaging containers, when unloading the trucks and when introducing the packaging containers into the incinerator it is then no longer necess-ary to work under so-called full protection, i.e. the stricter safety and protective measures prescribed for full protection are no longer necessary in these working oper-ations.

On the contrary, the mobile apparatus according to the in-vention as soon as it has completed its work at one site can be driven to the next site or to the next company where toxic or highly toxic waste accrues and is to be collected for disposal.

~3~:)906~

For the supply and removal of the packaging container expedien-tly roller conveyors are mounted on the loading area of the carriage and make it possible firstly to bring the containers beneath -the filling hopper ancl after the filling to carry them away from said hopper.

A comminuting means for the waste material is preferably installed in the filling hopper.

According to a further development of the invention the filling hopper is provided at its lower end wi-th a vertical frame-like extendable and retractable apron which before the filling of the respective packaging container temporarily dips in-to the latter to protect the walls thereof during the introduction of the waste material.

A charging hopper is further preferably provided in the region of its lower end with a means for pressing in or compressing the introduced waste ma-terial into the respective packaging container.

Said means may consist of a flap which is pivotal about a horizontal axis and adapted to be pressed against the introduced waste material.

The flap may advantageously be formed by a wall portion of the lower end of the filling hopper.

According to a broad aspect of the presen-t invention there is provided a mobile apparatus for handling, in particular highly toxic waste material for transport, for example, to an incinerating plant. The apparatus is characterized in that a filling hopper for the waste material is mounted on a carriage.
Means is provided for supplying empty packaging containers beneath the hopper and for removing the filled packaging ~L3~67 - 3a -containers disposed on the loading surface of the carriage.
Sealing means is provided for sealing the filled packaging containers disposed on the carriage. The means for supplying and removing the packaging containers is provided by roller conveyors mounted on the loading surface of the carriage. In or above the filling hopper a comminu-ting means is disposed for the waste material. The filling hopper has at its lower end a vertically extendable and retractable apron which, prior to the filling of the respective packaging container, dips temporarily into the latter to protect the walls thereof during the filling of the waste material.

According to the method of the invention for handling highly toxic waste the waste material is introduced, possibly comminuted, into a hopper mounted on a carriage or car, whereupon beneath the hopper a packaging container is disposed into which said waste material is filled, whereafter the waste material introduced into the packaging container is compressed in the latter and finally the filled packaging container is removed from i-ts position beneath the hopper and sealed.

~3~ 67 1 An exarnple of embodimenl: oE the invention will be explained hereinafter with the aid of the single Figure of the drawings which shows schematical:ly a perspective view of the mobile apparatus according to lhe invention.

On a car or carriage 10 a filling hopper 12 is morinted in such a manner that the waste material to be packaged can be introduced from above into the hopper 12.

Beneath the hopper 12 an opened packaging container 14 is disposed which is supplied via a roller conveyor 16 into its position beneath the hopper 12 and can be removed from this position beneath the hopper 12 again via a roller con-veyor or path 18. The two roller paths 16 and 18 may be arranged as illustrated at right-angles to each other and are mounted on the loadlng area or bottom of the carriage 10 .

A portion 36 oE the roller conveyor 16 projects beyond the carriage 10 and after completion of the work can be folded upwardly and inwardly. Likewise, a portion 38 of the roller conveyor 18 projects beyond the carriage 10 and said portion 38 can also be folded upwardly and inwardly after completion of the work.

When the Eil].ed packagi.ng container .1.4 has leEt the hopper 12 and is on the roller conveyor :1.8 with the aicl oE a seal-ing means 20 the cover portions 48 of the packaging container 14 are folded together and the container sealed for example by an adhesive tape 22.
The Eolding together of the cover portions 48 and the seal-ing of the packaging container by the adhesive tape 22 is done with the aid of a commercially available sealing means 20 which is only schematically indicated.

5 3L3n~06~
'1 With the aid of a forklift truck or elevating truck 34 the sealed packaging containers 14 are then removed from the truck or carriage 10 and brought with the aid of a motor vehicle not shown for example to an inclnerating plant.
The apparatus according to the invention operates as follows.
With the aid of a usual grab 24 the waste material to be packed, which is in particular highly toxic, is picked up and introduced from above into the hopper 12.
The hopper 12 is provided with a bottom 28 which in the drawing is extended. The bottom 2~ is however retracted before introduction of the waste material with the aid for example of a piston-cy],inder unit ~6 so that it closes the hopper 12 at the lower end of the funnel-shaped portion so that the waste materia] initially cannot drop through downwardly.

The bottom 28 is not essential in all cases; it may alter-natively be provided that the waste material is introduced into the hopper 12 and drops directly downwardly into the opened packaging container.

In the embodiment illustrated in the hopper 12 a comminut-ing means 26 is incorporated which comminutes the waste material introduced into the hopper down to the desired size.

Prior to the introduction of the waste material into the hopper 12 an open packaging container 1~ is arranged beneath the lower end of the ~,opper; said container can be pushed in via the roller conveyor 36, 16. The packaging container may for example consist of stiff board into which an addition- -al bottom for example in the form of a wooden plate or a plastic plate can be inserted for reinforcing.

6 ~3~
1 The hopper 12 is provided at its lower end with a frame-like apron 30 which is adapted to the form of the opening of the packagi.ng container 14 and the vertica]. height of which is at least e~ual to the vertical height of the pack-aging container.

The apron 30 can be extended and retracted in the verticaldirection relatively to the hopper 12 by means of a suitable piston-cylinder unit 32.

~efore the waste material drops out of the hopper 12 into the packaging container 14 or is filled the apron 30 is ex-tended downwardly, dipping into the packagi.ng container practically up to the bottom thereof.

The apron serves to protect the walls of the packaging con-tainer during filling of the waste material. The waste material can, when the bottom 28 of the hopper 12 is extended, drop successively downwardly into the packaging container as it is comminuted by the comminuting means 26. The bottom 28 may also however be retracted and seal the hopper 12 at its lower end until a filling of comminuted waste material is present, whereupon the bottom 12 is extended into the position shown in the F'i.gure, whereupon the comminuted waste material drops into the packaging container 14 in one go.
To compress the waste material loosely introduced into the packaging container or to adjust at least the tip of the cone of bulk material, a wall 40 of the lower rectangular end of the hopper 12 is preferably pivotal about a hori-zontal axis which expedi.ently lies at the lower end of the wall 40.

~fter completion of the filling of the packaging material the wall 40 is then pivoted inwardly with the aid of a piston-cylinder unit 42, one end of which is articulately connected :~3~ 7 l to a stationary bracket ~ of the hopper 12, an~ as a result with the aicl of said wall or flap 40 the bul1c cone of intro-duced waste material is compressed and the latter pushed into the packaging container 14.
When this has been done the flap 40 returns to i.ts vertical starting position, the apron 30 is again raised with the aid of the piston cylinder units 32 into the position i].lu-strated in the Figure and the packaging container is moved out of its position beneath the hopper l~ along the roller conveyor 18, for examp.1.e manually, whereupon it comes into the region of the seal:i.ng means 20 by which as already des-cribed the cover portions 48 of the packaging container are folded inwardly, where~lpon the packaging container is sealed with the aid of an adhesive tape 22.

As likewise already mentioned above, the sealed packaging container l~ is removed with the aid of the lift truck 34 from the roller conveyor 18 or 38 and transported for example to a truck which brings the packaging containers to a dis-posal plant, for exampl.e an incinerating plant.

In the latter the packaging containers are unloaded and introduced directly into the incinerator.

If made necessary by tl~e waste materi.al. to be packaged the sealing container l~ c.ln be provi.ded with a water-tight lining, for example a plastic sack, which is then sealed after filling of the container.

It can be supplied already on a pallet or placed on one after filling and possibly the pallet introduced together with the or several packaging containers arranged thereon into the incinerator.
