Description

Transportable product compactor equipment discarded with solid phase separator system and liquid

Technical sector

The team from the point of view of the technique of manufacturing could be included according to the sector of "treatments environmental ", although in general terms, the team of the present invention for its characteristics of use is contained within of the storage and recovery field separately from solid and liquid waste.

State of the art

The term discarded product includes any solid urban, agricultural or industrial waste, waste that can be homogeneous or solid waste mixture, or also mixture of solid and liquid waste, and which together have a outstanding amount of liquid content.

At the level of authorized waste managers urban and industrial, the use of compacting equipment such as waste storage, reduction and transport systems solids is widespread in several industrial sectors that recycle and reuse different discarded materials or by-products, highlighting the paper and cardboard industries, plastics, urban solid waste, industrial waste similar to urban, etc.

Basically a waste compactor transportable solids consists of an apparatus of dimensions suitable for transported on top of a cargo truck, which stores solid waste inside it when introduced by its feed nozzle are pushed by a pressure device Towards a storage area.

When the equipment is full of waste, the authorized manager picks up the compactor in a cargo truck and what transports to an authorized waste treatment plant, where the truck is weighed at the entrance of the plant before the unloading of the material and weighing at the exit to know the amount of solid waste that has been discharged into the plant.

The discharge of waste is done by opening a gate located on the opposite side to where the compactor system, which helped by the slope generated in the equipment the hook of the cargo truck cause a continuous discharge of the material towards the exit.

However, of transportable compactors about trucks found in the market until today, I don't know has found none designed to transport products discarded having a high liquid content, such as discarded fruit and vegetable fruits, which are organic by-products that retain a high amount of content inside water

Also, no equipment was found transportable compactor that makes reuse compatible discarded products stored inside with the need to channel its best use by independent means that facilitate the goal of maximum recovery.

The need to manufacture equipment remains economically viable compactor that can store and extract separately the solid and liquid fractions of those solid wastes that have a high water content, so that the maximum use and recovery of both is facilitated phases independently.

Explanation of the invention.

The device called transportable equipment compactor of discarded products with phase separator system solid and liquid, it is designed to store products organic high water content such as fruits horticultural, separating solid products in two autonomous chambers and liquid products, and has wheels and hook to be built on top of a cargo truck that has a system of proper hitch.

Of all the devices that the team owns, the two product storage chambers, the system product separation between the two chambers and the system Liquid extractor are the units that are considered inventions individuals, which developed for the team as a whole confers the appropriate characteristics to be able to present the patent of this project.

The equipment consists of a series of units assembled and coupled between them that form a closed set autonomous (figure 1), called:

\ ding {226} Waste compactor system (one)

\ ding {226} Warehouse container (2)

\ ding {226} Liquid extractor system (3).

Each of the following are described below. team units:

\ ding {226} Waste compactor system

The compactor system is the unit in charge of push and press all the waste material deposited in your inside to the storage container (figure 2).

It has a loading mouth (4) where feeds the equipment and disposed waste is deposited, to the which can be added a reception box or hopper according to the power system to be performed (manual, tapes conveyors, gravity, etc).

The compactor system has a system Hydraulic pusher (5) of power supply, in charge of push the discarded material to the storage container. He hydraulic pusher system consists of a hydraulic reservoir, a motor and pump equipment with control and protection valve.

System building material compactor will consist of reinforced steel sheets with rolled profiles, and will have different compounds to strengthen the cylinders, the rods and the pistons, forming as a whole a solid structure.

The operation of the compactor will be controlled by a central automation.

\ ding {226} Warehouse container

The storage container (figure 3) is a closed metal container responsible for storing separately at solid product and the generated liquid product. The camera Top storage (8) is designed to facilitate downloading solid material finish. This upper chamber has an opening of input of the discarded product (6) on the side where the compactor system and a solid material exit door (7) on the opposite side of that system, by which they will be evicted The stored solids.

The upper storage chamber for solid materials is separated from the storage chamber bottom for liquids (10) by a wall or floor (9) built in hardened plastic or sheet steel, which has numerous pores of defined diameter according to the size of the solid particles that pretend to separate from liquids.

As the discarded product is pushed inside the upper storage chamber by the system hydraulic pusher, this solid product will start to dislodge internal liquids due to their own weight and the weight caused by other solid product units located above, as well as by the shock exerted between solid product units due to the compression exerted by the hydraulic pusher system. These liquids will go through a porous wall or floor to get through gravity effect to the lower storage chamber where The liquids are housed.

The storage container must be airtight so that spillage spills are avoided during pressing or during the transport of waste to its destination. The construction material of the storage container will be selected to prolong its duration (reinforced steel sheets with rolled profiles), and achieve some resistance of the equipment to the high corrosion that will suffer from the continuous collection of solid and liquid organic matter. In the lower part of the container, two double T profiles constitute the sliding zone.
to.

The dimensions of the different containers warehouse will depend on the transport possibilities of the truck that will carry on said team, although normally equipment volume capacities range from 12 m 3 to 40 m 3.

\ ding {226} Liquid extractor system

The liquid extractor system is a device from which the liquid can be transported deposited in the lower chamber of the storage container up to a external storage tank (figure 4).

This system includes an extraction pump liquids (11), a mouth with valve opening-closing (12) and a hose (13) for transport these liquids from inside the equipment to a external storage tank.

It is important to stand out among the benefits environmental achieved by the team, which during the waste storage hardly any bad odors or liquid losses thanks to its roofed enclosure and its adequate tightness, disposing in the door areas by where solids will be dislodged, from highly resistant rubber to acids and other corrosive liquids, avoiding losses of liquids even when transporting equipment on trucks loading from the area of origin to other places.

Detailed statement of the invention

The attached figures described above schematically illustrate the basic movements that occur of the discarded products generated in each of the units of the compactor equipment.

The equipment needs a power supply electric for its start and later operation.

Figure 2 shows a schematic illustration of the compactor unit where you can see the entrance of the Discarded products inside the device through the mouth of load (4), feeding that can be manual or mechanized by conveyor belt, octopus loading-unloading, by gravity, etc.

Next to perform the following function the equipment must be started, because when pressing the button Hydraulic pusher system gear (5), enters operation the pusher that is responsible for dragging discarded products into the chamber of top storage of the storage container.

This operation is controlled by a central of automatism and will be repeated as many times as necessary to fill the volume of solids of said storage chamber top or to fill the volume of liquids in the chamber of bottom storage.

Figure 3 shows a schematic illustration of the warehouse container unit where you can see the entrance of discarded solids in the upper storage chamber of the container (8).

This discarded product will be pushed and compacted inside the upper chamber of the container warehouse, so an important part of the liquid content internal of these products is expelled from inside to the Exterior.

This movement of liquids will facilitate the entry of these into the lower chamber (10) through the pores of the walls or floor (9), aided by the pressure exerted on discarded products as well as the effect of severity of all by-products compacted

In the upper storage chamber of the container (8) will be retained solids that cannot pass to through the pores, holes that will be defined according to the diameter of the small solid particles that wish to be included in the phase liquid

Once either chamber is filled from the waste products storage container, the automaton central warn of this situation, proceeding to proceed according to the operating characteristics of the company, industry or cooperative where the compactor equipment is located.

The next stage of operation of the equipment, unloading or transport, will be done depending on the possibilities that the company has where the compactor to be able to value any of the products at source stored in the equipment, otherwise, the waste manager will be notified hired to proceed to remove the compactor from a cargo truck with proper hitch system and that transport to the authorized treatment plant to eliminate these products.

For example, let's say that these discarded products were tomatoes stored by a cooperative of fruit and vegetable products, and that this cooperative existed a system to take advantage of liquid discharges from of the discarded fruits, then an extraction would be performed "in origin" of the liquid phase of these discarded tomatoes, transporting them to an external storage depot to that then you can take advantage of these waste.

This cooperative, once you have completed the liquid extraction operation, will notify the waste manager hired to proceed to remove the compactor equipment, which will transport the solid waste stored to the authorized disposal or treatment plant for these by-products, reducing the net weight of waste input in The treatment plant.

Finally, in the treatment plant they will evacuate solids in an authorized area by opening the door of the equipment (7), raising the truck to the compactor until a important height helped by the hook and wheels, which at getting a sufficient slope will allow the emptying of solid.

In the event that the compactor arrives to the treatment plant with the two chambers loaded with waste, the manager will proceed to a previous extraction of the liquid before the final discharge of the solids.

Figure 4 shows a schematic illustration of the equipment where you can appreciate the transport of liquids from the inside to the outside through a hose.

This operation is controlled by a central of automatism that will activate the liquid extraction pump (11) once the hose (13) has been connected between the outlet which includes an opening-closing valve of the lower chamber (12) with an external storage tank liquids, finishing the operation when the liquids from said storage chamber.
