Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved routine for delivery of newsprint and the removal of waste paper.
  • Transportation of goods by road is normally conducted using large articulated lorries having a trailer hauled by a tractor unit.
  • the lorry Typically, having delivered its load, the lorry returns to its home depot empty. This is a waste of driver and vehicle time, being a period of zero productivity, and is also a waste of fuel, thus raising environmental concerns.
  • the government is keen to encourage hauliers to use full trailers on the return leg of each journey.
  • Products made by the concern to whom the delivery was made may not require transportation of its own goods in the direction of the lorry's home depot.
  • trailers may be designed specifically for transporting a certain type of product and are not readily adaptable to carrying other goods.
  • reels of newsprint are typically delivered to a printing works on a trailer with fabric side curtains carried upon a steel frame, typically known as a "Tautliner".
  • Printing works produce a great deal of waste paper.
  • a compactor unit compresses waste paper into a 20 foot long bin.
  • two bins are transported for disposal or recycling upon a single trailer.
  • the trailer will be different from that used to deliver the newsprint.
  • Each bin in turn must be mounted upon and demounted from the trailer using a hook lift vehicle before the contents can be disposed of.
  • the system is generally similar to that in our copending application GB 2 307 895A. This procedure is unduly time consuming involving many movements of bins. This additionally produces a considerable amount of noise.
  • FR 2 572 371A which is considered to constitute the closest prior art, describes a system whereby waste material is collected at a central facility from a variety of waste collection vehicles. The waste material is then compacted into standard trailers for onward transport. A trailer for use in such a system is also described.
  • a newsprint delivery and waste paper collection system for a printing premises; the system comprising (i) an articulated lorry tractor unit; (ii) at least two trailers adapted for use with said tractor unit (10), each trailer including an enclosed elongate material-carrying container each having a floor, walls, a roof and an access door mounted within a frame at the rear of the container; (iii) providing the premises with a delivery bay for transfer of newsprint from the rear of a first trailer into the premises; and (iii) providing the premises with at least one waste paper collection bay; wherein the waste paper collection bay includes a compactor unit having an input adapted to receive waste paper and an output for expulsion of the waste paper; the system comprising mutually cooperating connecting means provided on the compactor units and on the rear of the second trailer; the connecting means providing a substantially rigid connection between the output of the compactor unit and the container.
  • the present invention provides a trailer for an articulated lorry adapted for use in the system described above.
  • the trailer comprises an enclosed elongate material-carrying container having a floor, walls, a roof and an access door mounted within a frame at the rear of the trailer; wherein the interior surfaces of the walls and roof are substantially flat and uninterrupted and the floor includes a plurality of longitudinally extending guide tracks; wherein further, the rear of the trailer comprises cooperative means for connecting the trailer to the output of a compactor unit.
  • the trailer further comprises means for discharging waste material from the interior of the container.
  • the container is mounted at the rear of the trailer upon a chassis for pivotal movement with respect thereto.
  • the container may include a tipping ram to thereby discharge the contents.
  • the access door is a vertically slidable door.
  • the frame of the door may be in the form of an external outwardly opening door.
  • a lorry comprising a tractor unit 10 and a first trailer 11 carrying newsprint reels 12 reverses up to a loading bay 13, of a printing works 14 whereupon the reels are removed in a conventional manner to be used, again in a conventional manner.
  • Newspaper waste is removed from the printing process and delivered to a conventional compressor unit 20 typically comprising a hopper 21 for receipt of the waste and an axial ram unit 22 to force the waste along discharge pathway 23 terminating in an discharge chute 24.
  • Discharge chute 24 is received in an aperture 40 ( Figure 2) in a door 41 in the rear of a second trailer 30 of identical design to first trailer 11.
  • Second trailer 30 is secured such that movement between the trailer 30 and discharge chute 24 is largely prevented and remains in place whilst the compacting process is ongoing.
  • Aperture 40 is covered when not coupled to the discharge chute 24 by means of a vertically sliding cover 42.
  • Door 41 typically hinges from the upper edge.
  • the printing works 14 will have several compressor units 20 with associated discharge pathways.
  • the trailer can be tipped to discharge the waste under gravity or may include an ejector or ram piston or walking floor (not shown) which ejects the waste out.
  • FIG. 2 and 3 An example of a trailer is shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the trailer includes a material carrying container 50 pivotally mounted at a rear hinge point upon a chassis 52. Pivotal movement is actuated by means of a pneumatic piston 53.
  • the trailer is supported upon three pairs of road wheels 54 and, when not coupled to a tractor unit, a front wheeled support leg 55.
  • a further wheeled support leg 56 is provided at the rear of the trailer for additional support.
  • the container 50 is typically formed from 5mm aluminium alloy plate and includes reinforcing members 60 spaced at approximately 400mm centres.
  • the embodiment shown in Figure 4 is identical save that, for aesthetic reasons, the container is clad externally with an appropriate sheet material 61.
  • the container 50 is around 13m long, 2.55m wide and 2.5m tall. Such dimensions allow the trailer to carry seventeen 1250mm reels 65 of newsprint, a section of which is shown in Figure 6.
  • the base of the trailer is illustrated in cross-section in Figure 5.
  • the base includes four longitudinal channels 70 arranged in pairs. The channels assist in loading and removal of the reels 65 of newsprint. Cargo carried upon skates can slide within the channels. So that the channels 70 do not become clogged with waste paper, elongate inserts 71 can be used to fill the channels. Alternatively, the channels can simply be brushed and cleaned out after use.
  • the present invention reduces the number of on site operations required, avoids the need for raising and lowering heavy containers loaded with waste materials and allows removal of waste to be effected in a straightforward, quick, efficient and cost-effective manner.
  • the present invention also significantly reduces road movements, in ideal cases by 50%. Additionally, in the preferred embodiment, the safety of road delivery is enhanced by the metal construction of the trailer.
