Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plant for the separation of material of various kinds in small pieces or Leaves, treated in a plant using water or another appropriate liquid as conveying fluid. This is the case which occurs, for example, in plants for the recycling of plastic material.
  • Equipment for the separation of material in small pieces of various kinds is already known, such as for example that described in the U.S. patent no. 4,483,768.
  • This patent relates to a plant consisting of a separation tank filled up to a predetermined level with a certain liquid, and of extremely simple devices for feeding into the tank material to be separated with a horizontal jet of material and conveying Liquid at a pressure higher than that existing in the inlet area due to the weight of the mass of Liquid contained in the tank.
  • the jet having these features divides almost immediately into two vertical flows: an ascending flow for the material whose specific weight is lower than that of the mass of Liquid contained in the tank and a descending flow for the material whose specific weight is higher respectively.
  • the position of the feed device varies according to the different possible specific weights of the components of the material.
  • the plant comprises finally a first and second means for removing the separated material from the mass of liquid contained in the tank.
  • the two means are placed at said predetermined Level and at the bottom of the tank respectively for the ejection of the components of the material having lower and higher specific weight respectively than that of the mass of Liquid contained in the tank itself.
  • the object of the following invention is therefore the improvement to the plant described above in respect of efficiency of separation of the components of the materiaL with different specific weight.
  • this object is accomplished by means of a plant comprising a tank containing a certain liquid up to a predetermined level, a device for feeding material to be separated together with a conveying liquid of the same kind as that contained in the tank with a horizontal jet at a pressure higher than that of the liquid contained in the tank in the inlet area and due to the weight of the mass of the Liquid itself and means placed at the top and at the bottom of the tank for removing the components of the materiaL having Lower and higher specific weight respectively from the mass of Liquid, characte is-d i- th ⁇ t s id * ea s f * ⁇ removing the component with higher specific weight and the conveying Liquid from the separation tank are accomplished in such a way as to produce in output a flow rate of the component with higher specific weight and of said liquid greater than the flow rate of the material to be separated and of the conveying liquid in input at the separation tank.
  • the difference between the said two flow rates is such as to determine a descending flow, in the mass of liquid contained in the separation tank, of such high intensity that it prevents any possible ascending flow of the components of the materiaL with the sole exclusion of the components having an extremely Low specific weight; only these components can in this way reach the clear surface of the mass of Liquid contained in the tank and be removed therefrom to the outside.
  • an external circuit is necessary for recycling the Liquid removed from the separation tank, which is provided with means for filtering and separating liquid from the components of the material transported by the liquid itself outside of the tank. A part of the recycled liquid is returned directly to the separation tank by pumping means, whiLe another part of said Liquid is conveyed towards a device for mixing materiaL and Liquid upstream of the separation tank.
  • the separation plant iLLustrated in the drawing 1 comprises * a generical mixing mechanism 25 in which the material which has to be separated (A) is mixed with a conveying liquid (B) by a pump 26 actuated by a motor 27, a washing device 28, which comprises a plurality of blades 29 arranged radially on a rotating shaft 30 moved by a motor 31 and which is positioned between the pump 26, actuated by the motor 27, and the separation tank 1 designed to be filled with a Liquid 2, of the same kind as the conveying Liquid, up to a predetermined Level L.
  • the tank 1 is related to a device 3 for feeding the materiaL to be separated and the conveying Liquid CC), which consists of a hydrauLic cyclone 4 with vertical axis and formed by a Lateral external wall 5, whose upper part 6 is cylindrical and whose Lower part 7 is a truncated cone.
  • the hydrauLic cyclone 4 internally, has a cylindrical sleeve 8 with vertical axis; said cylindrical sleeve 8 is open at the two bases, apertures 9 and 10, and is connected above to the lateral wall 5 of the cyclone 4 by means of an annular plate 11.
  • the hydrauLic cycLone 4 is connected in its inner part to the internaL space 39 of the tank 1.
  • a conduit 13 for feeding material and conveying Liquid flows in the lateral wall of the upper cylindrical part 6 of the external part 5, in this case also having the function of supporting the cyclone 4; said conduit 13 is inserted tangentiaLly in an annular space 14 defined by the upper part 6 of the lateral wall 5 of the cyclone 4 and by said cylindrical sleeve 8.
  • a system 15 for removing material of Lower specific weight, which comprises rollers 16 provided with blades 17, rotatably supported by the external walls of the tank 2.
  • the rollers 16 are made to rotate by an eLectric motor 18.
  • the roLLers 16 are bladed in such a way that their blades 17 dip into the Liquid 2 to a Limited extent.
  • the lower edge 19 of a discharge aperture 20 is provided: this aperture is in turn connected to a discharge conduit 21 for the material and through a grating 22 with a discharge conduit 23 for any Liquid remaining together with the materiaL of Lower specific weight.
  • the system for ejecting heavy materiaL consists of a variable flow rate pump 24 pLaced below the bottom of the tank 1 and with features such that it determines a rate of flow of discharge liquid and materiaL greater than that in input to the cyclone 4.
  • the discharge conduit 23 and the variable flow rate pump 24 are connected by means of respective pipes 32 and 33 to a tank 34, provided internally with means for separating materiaL of higher specific weight from the conveying Liquid.
  • Said tank 34 is connected to a pump 35, actuated by a motor 43, which in turn supplies the mixing device 25, and to a side chamber 38 of the tank 1 by means of pipes 36 and 37 respectively.
  • the chamber 38 is connected to the internal space 39 of the tank 1 by means of an aperture 40 provided with filtering means 41.
  • the assembly composed of the pipes 32, 33, 36 and 37, the tank 34 and the pump 35 form an external circuit 42 for recycling the conveying Liquid.
  • the material to be separated (A) is combined with the conveying liquid CB) in the mixing device C25) and pumped therefrom, by the pump 26, to the separation device 28 where a possible separation of small pieces of material which have remained attached to each other takes pLace.
  • the material and the conveying Liquid (C) are fed into the separation tank 1 at a selected pressure higher than that of the mass of Liquid 2 by means of the feed device 3 composed of the hydraulic cyclone and of the tangential conduit 13.
  • the materiaL and the conveying Liquid, forced into the upper part of the hydraulic cyclone 4 are imparted, on account of the structure of the upper part of the cyclone itself Cupper part 6 of the Lateral wall 5 and cylindrical sleeve 8), with rotary motion for the purposes of separating the material.
  • CA is very intense and entrains all the remaining components of the materiaL and the conveying Liquid; said flow, poured into the mass of liquid 2, moves down towards the materiaL removing devices, the pump 24, positioned at the bottom of the tank 1.
  • the blades 17 of the rollers 16 of the system for removing the Lighter material 15 push the material CA'-B 1 ) out of the tank 1 towards the discharge conduit 21 together with a small quantity of Liquid CB') which is in turn discharged by means of the conduit 23 after having passed through the small apertures of the grating 22.
  • a part of the filtered Liquid CB) is then immediately transported by the pump 35 and the pipes 37 into the chamber 38 of the tank 1 and from there, through the aperture 40, into the internal space of the tank 1; another part of the fiLtered Liquid CB) however, may be pumped, through the pipes 36, towards the mixing device 24 in this way completing the cycle which began with the feeding of the materiaL to be separated CA) into said device 25.
