BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outer cover separator for waste golf ball,

More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus for removing a waste golf ball from a waste golf ball, and more particularly, to an apparatus for removing waste golf balls, And the outer jacket can be easily peeled off by the cutter on both sides.

In general, a golf ball is formed in such a shape that the outer side of a core, which is a natural material, is covered by a skin formed with a dimple, and a surface of the skin is coated with a reflection layer for a mirror effect.

Golf balls are mainly used in indoor and outdoor golf courses, paint and coating layers are peeled off due to collision with golf clubs, and the outer surface of the dimples is damaged and discarded.

The disused golf ball is covered with a synthetic resin covering the cores which are made of raw rubber, and if the golf ball is discarded, it causes severe environmental pollution.

As a result, the cost of purchasing a golf ball is somewhat burdensome because the manufacturing cost is increased due to the manufacture of the golf ball while importing the golf ball raw material while preventing it. Thus, the golf ball is actively being regenerated to provide a less expensive golf ball.

A plurality of methods for separating only the core by a peeling operation for removing only the shell except for the core for regenerating the golf ball and then forming the outer shell again outside the core have been proposed.

Among these prior arts, the core and the coating are separated by thermal treatment through Registration No. 0538945 (Dec. 2005, 20:20, name: Clothes Separation Method for recycling a used golf ball), and then the coating is cut by a cutter And a method for eliminating the above-mentioned problems.

On the other hand, a separate heating chamber is required for the heat treatment as in the prior art, and a separate facility for removing the sheath from the core is required.

However, in the related art, only the method is shown. In the other conventional techniques, only the cutter structure for allowing the golf ball to escape from the specific facility is presented. However, There is a limit in the reduction of the production cost and there is no facility for mass-exfoliation of the outer shell. Thus, the recycling efficiency is low.
