Description

Technical field

Waste management, here: collecting and recycling of Kitchen and garden waste, hereinafter bio materials

State of the art

For the separation of valuable materials and reduction of residual waste Waste management is in the meantime a variety of empty containers in use. If bio-materials are also collected separately, so the residual waste is still to be reduced by approx. 30% adorn. Are these composted and as natural fertilizer applied again, our soils and the water occur primarily from chemical fertilizers and plants protective agents are relieved.

Large composting plants are mainly used in conurbations clear z. T. unavoidable. However, they are of high construction Operating and transportation costs and have z. T. due to possible loads on the diverse output materials with heavy metals, salts and pesticides Ab typesetting difficulties.

Many European countries therefore have instructions for one if possible, decentralized composting of all bio materials enact.

In addition to the conventional composting of rents and the house conventional compost containers has recently become a complete STATIONARY COMPOST SYSTEM (SCS) according to EU Pat. Registration 94113687 according to Jäger in company sizes of 2 cbm up to approx. 5000 cbm in modular design to promote this decentralized composting created (known under the Pavilion composter series).

For the collection and separation of bio materials in living are currently located next to open trough containers So-called closed organic bins are used.  

In the absence of air, and mostly stored in seeping juices, However, these bio-materials get into the state of Putrefaction or fermentation and develop especially at high Outside temperatures of infectious fungus species (Aspergillus fumi gatus and the mucoraceae), especially in people with a fungal fungus that is fatal to a weakened immune system can cause infections.

The organic bins should therefore be used every 8 days are emptied, which ver corresponding expensive collection services causes.

The collection and keeping of the bio materials in rotten bags require short pick-up intervals, Rodents can gain easy access and themselves propagate inadmissibly.

This source material is also for the quality comm post, as prescribed by the so-called organic products, not suitable.

Especially in metropolitan areas with little green waste and high levels of wet kitchen waste are put on Utilization techniques of fermentation that take advantage of Have biogas production. That happens under these practices final product (fermentation with exclusion of air) keep an organically dead, mineralized mass like that can contribute little to the necessary revitalization of the soil and because of its rapidly sinking substances in turn can cause emissions.

Properly applied, these end products (similar to the Sewage sludge) at best in a healthy mixture the composts that come from aerobic rotting processes, to add.

A comprehensive recycling concept also lacks in rural catchment areas with high green and shredders well (the latter high carbon content) the kitchen waste from a well-established natural compost densely populated areas.  

Presentation of the invention - advantageous effects

For the reasons mentioned above, it was the subject of the invention To build containers and devices,

• - in which the bio-materials also in economic countries shorter pick-up intervals, environmentally friendly and under Rotting in sufficient aerobic conditions, if necessary also rotting can (significant weight and volume reduction); in the MCS-VARIO-I and -II models this is achieved by the Supply air routing in the outer shells and in the inner basket inserts as well as the separate, including troughs for the seepage juices reached in the model VARIO III through the supply air duct in the outer walls and in the floor grates, seepage juices are also in the the floor pan underneath is removed;
• - The user-friendly and on-site for every user offer a size that meets your needs (models from 50 to 2600 l filling volume with and without filling possibility for additional garden waste) and inexpensive in common garbage collection or con tainer vehicles, but also any other means of transport can be emptied here through the commercially available Garbage can and large waste container sizes as well as by special version (similar to a container island for other valuable materials) of the VARIO III model, Filling via roof, emptying via fold-out Floor grate and tub system,
• - those in the smaller sizes of the VARIO-I models Provide users with the option to choose and / or at times to compost in these containers on their own territory or make it available for collection, here as Zu include a station ring for self-composting, on the the torso with basket that can be removed from the tank and driving base can be set so that it gave way to the worm compost ground connection to the product is to be created.

Presentation of the way to carry out the invention

A) For model MCS-VARIO I (50-360 l),
MCS-VARIO Ia 50 l (tank without driving base)
MCS-VARIO Ib 120 l
MCS-VARIO Ic 240 l
MCS-VARIO Id 360 l.

The exemplary embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 1 and associated list of reference symbols explained:

In the torso with ventilation slots ( 1 ) and lid, an equally oxygen-permeable inner basket ( 3 ) can be used so flexibly that an air exchange is possible via the ventilation slots, the inner basket and the space between the torso and the inner basket, and the space between them can provide insulating support.

The inside can be used for cleaning or replacement purposes basket can be removed from the torso.

The torso (with the inner basket inside) fits into the tank and driving base ( 2 ) in such a way that it can be removed if the pick-up service wants to separate the solid bio materials in the inner basket from the seepage juices in the tank and driving base or the user torso and the inner basket for the purpose of self-composing on the station ring ( 2 ), drawing 1a.

The bio materials are closed from above via the bar in the inner basket, can be found under sufficient oxygen supply rot and give too much Seeping juices down into the tank and driving stand from.

When the filling capacity is reached, the user the bin is ready for emptying in time He works the compost in the garden when composting himself according to the desired level of maturity.  

Based on the drawing 1a, the self-composting explains:

If the user wants to compost organic materials temporarily or constantly on his own terrain, he takes the torso with inner basket ( 1 and 3 ) from the fuel and driving pedestal and places it in the prepared station ring ( 2 ) so that the contents in the inner basket make contact ( 4 ) with the topsoil to allow the small animals and microorganisms that are important for the valuable worm to reach the bio-valuable materials. The mesh sizes of the inner basket, however, are chosen so that rodents and. Like. Can not get into the basket.

B) For model MCS-VARIO II (660-1100 l),
MCS-VARIO IIa 660 l
MCS-VARIO IIb 770 l
MCS-VARIO IIc 1100 l.

The exemplary embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 2 with the associated list of reference symbols explained:

In the mobile outer container with lid and ventilation slots ( 1 ), the inner basket ( 3 ) is inserted into the bearings and spacers ( 2 ), which is removed for cleaning and replacement purposes. It is dimensioned so that between it and the outer container with its ventilation slots sufficient air can fill well through the grille of the inner basket and this space can support insulating from the outside.

The bio materials are entered from above via the lockable lid, can rot with the supply of oxygen and give too much seepage down into the tub ( 5 ).

When the filling capacity is reached, the MCS-VARIO II is ready for collection. It can be emptied into the collection vehicles using conventional lifting devices; seepage juices can be removed as required via the dispensing opening ( 4 ) or transferred to tanks.

C) For model MCS-VARIO III-LIFT (2600 l)
The exemplary embodiment is explained with reference to drawing 3 with the associated list of reference symbols:

The closed base body with ventilation slots ( 1 ) supports the roof ( 2 ) with filler openings and receives the floor pan ( 5 ) on its underside with a floor grid (foldable) connected by the same shaft. For filling, the floor pan ( 5 ) is in a folded state and is on the Auslösemecha mechanism that an unintentional opening is not possible in this position.

The bio materials are placed in the filling openings entered from above and can sag and rot. Too many seepage juices get into the floor pan, from there they can evaporate when dry also moisten the contents.

To empty the MCS-VARIO-III is taken to the lifting eye ( 3 ), raised over the transport space of the pick-up vehicle and lowered so that the wedge of the trigger mechanism ( 6 ) pushes upwards over an opposing side wall and the synchronously attached holding shaft on the floor pan to open. After emptying, the model is returned to the storage location and closes again by slowly lowering it using the same mechanism.

Like the other VARIO models, this is also against Rodent infestation safe, for internal use as well lockable.

The building materials used can optionally be in galvanized steel, in stainless steel or plastics his. The individual assemblies are priced at one cheap and easy to build series production parked like all other models.
