Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for sorting differently coloured refuse bags which are presented in random order distribution, the refuse bags of different colours containing different types of refuse sorted at the source, comprising at least one conveyor belt designed to convey bags arranged in rows with a space between each, past sorting stations arranged at intervals along said conveyor belt, and designed to identify and separate predetermined types of refuse from the conveyor.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a device able to separate a plurality of different fractions of refuse for subsequent treatment in different installations.
- the device comprises at least two or more sorting stations arranged in succession, in that each sorting station comprises a first sensor designed to detect and to emit an output signal when refuse bags of at least one predetermined colour approach the sorting station, in that every sorting station further contains a position-sensitive second sensor which is designed to detect when the refuse bag passes a predetermined position at the sorting station, as well as in that the first and second sensors are designed to actuate a member for removing the bag from the conveyor belt.
- each first sensor in a sorting station i. is designed to be pre-set for detection of a colour or shade within the visible colour spectrum, and also first sensors in different sorting stations are designed to detect different colours or shades within the visible spectrum.
- the device of the invention operates in the following manner:
- the refuse bags are allowed to pass further along with the conveyor belt.
- the resetting of the two sensors takes place a certain time after the second sensor has indicated that the bag has passed a certain point in the sorting station.
- the device of the invention may be used for sorting waste of many different types; the sole limitation is the number of colours that can reliably be detected in the first sensor and the number of shades in which refuse bags can be manufactured. Both the first and the second sensor are identical for all sorting stations, the only difference being that the electronic circuit connected with every first sensor can be programmed to emit a certain output signal for a certain definite colour or shade within the visible spectrum.
- the most commonly occurring type of waste is placed in the refuse bags which are to travel with the conveyor belt to its end.
