Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improvement in a waste-compacting machine, particularly for urban solid waste.
  • Machines which compact urban solid waste by pressing it under very high pressure, thereby causing its humid fraction, which can be recycled for production of fertilizers, to be separated from its dry fraction, which can be recycled as fuel.
  • waste material is pressed within a perforated barrel supported on a cradle having passages for draining the matter through the holes of the barrel.
  • WO-A-92/13710 discloses a compression screw device for consolidating and possibly dewatering material such as fibre or cellulosic material, although the pressures involved are much smaller than in a waste-compacting machine.
  • EP-A-684 117 discloses a waste-compacting machine according to the preamble of claim 1 which comprises three perforated cylinders supported on a revolving drum and arranged to be cyclically filled with the material to be compacted.
  • the drum is driven to rotate by steps so that all the cylinders are successively conveyed in front of a plunger, which penetrates into the cylinder and squeezes the material contained therein, thereby causing the fluid fraction to be drained through the holes.
  • the drained fluid has a high abrasive power, mainly in consideration of the very high pressure reached during squeezing, so that the radial holes in the cylinders are abraded and become larger in a short time, thereby affecting the effectiveness of squeezing.
  • FR-A-2 792 570 shows how to line the holes with inserts of an abrasionproof material, such as marketed under the trademark "widia”.
  • Another object of the invention is that an existing machine may be provided with the lining without any alteration to it, thereby reducing the costs of the improvement.
  • a waste-compacting machine 10 comprises a stationary frame 12 which pivotally supports a drum 14 having a horizontal axis A ( Fig. 4 ).
  • Drum 14 supports three cylinders 16 which are open at their ends and also have horizontal axes.
  • the cylinders are spaced at equal angles from each other around the axis A of the drum, and are provided with a plurality of radial holes 18.
  • a loading station 20, a squeezing station 22 and an unloading station 24 are arranged in front of the drum and are angularly spaced from each other around the axis A, correspondingly to cylinders 16.
  • the drum is driven to rotate by steps by a motor (not shown), in order to cyclically convey one cylinder in front of the loading station, another cylinder in front of the squeezing station, and the last cylinder in front of the unloading station.
  • Loading station 20 comprises a screw feeder 26, or any other suitable feeding device such as, e.g., a pressing member, which is coaxial to cylinder 16 when the latter is positioned in front of the loading station, and is driven to rotate for conveying the material from a hopper 28 to the cylinder.
  • a screw feeder 26 or any other suitable feeding device such as, e.g., a pressing member, which is coaxial to cylinder 16 when the latter is positioned in front of the loading station, and is driven to rotate for conveying the material from a hopper 28 to the cylinder.
  • a wall 30 integral with stationary frame 12 is arranged in front of the base of drum 14 on the side of hopper 28, and is provided with three openings which are aligned to cylinders 16 when they are positioned in front of stations 20, 22, 24.
  • Another wall 32 integral with stationary frame 12 is arranged in front of the opposite base of the drum, and is provided with two openings which are aligned to those cylinders 16 which are positioned in front of squeezing station 22 and unloading station 24. On the contrary, wall 32 shuts the end of that cylinder which is arranged in front of loading station 20.
  • squeezing station 22 comprises an auxiliary piston 34, which is coaxial to the cylinder positioned in front of such station and sealingly closes one of its ends, as well as a plunger 36 that is operable to penetrate into cylinder 16 through the other end, thereby causing the material contained therein to be squeezed and the humid fraction to be drained through holes 18.
  • the plunger is driven by a hydraulic cylinder 38 supported on the frame.
  • the unloading station comprises a knockout piston 40, which is coaxial to that cylinder positioned in front of such station, and is operable to penetrate cylinder 16 under control of a hydraulic actuator 42 for knocking the compacted material out through that opening cut in the wall on the opposite side with respect to the piston.
  • the knocked-out material is unloaded onto a chute 43 for removal.
  • each cylinder 16 is lined with a cylindrical lining 44 of manganese steel, which is perforated in alignment with the holes 18 in the cylinder and consists of three adjacent, cylinder sectors 44a, 44b, 44c of a cylinder.
  • each sector matching with one edge of an adjacent sector is worked by grinding for accurately matching with each other.
  • One of the holes of the lining, hole 45 in Fig. 6 , and a corresponding, aligned hole in the cylinder, are engaged by a centering screw 46 for locking any mutual rotation between the lining and the cylinder, thereby maintaining the holes aligned to each other.
  • the operation of the improved machine substantially corresponds to the operation of the machine described in EP-A-684 117 .
  • the drum is driven to rotate by steps of 120° for cyclically subjecting each cylinder to:
  • the lining resists to the abrasive action of the drained fluid and shields the cylinder from wear, while the cylinder has the task of resisting to the pressure of the material.
  • Each sector can be easily manufactured with its holes by molding, by means of conventional processes known in the field.
  • the radial holes can be obtained by providing the mold with a plurality of complementary studs of a refractory sand, which can be removed from the holes after molding, when the mold is open.
  • longitudinal edges B and the outer surface of the lining can be worked by grinding in a way known to those persons skilled in the art.
  • the lining could also consist of a different number of sectors, e.g., four or five sectors, which also could have different angular extensions.
  • the lining of the example illustrated herein is described in association with a known machine having three cylinders supported on a rotatable drum, of course it could also been incorporated in another machine, provided that compaction is performed by squeezing the material in a perforated cylinder.
