Definitions
- the present invention relates to an installation intended for the individual automatic unpacking of large flexible containers filled with materials, to a process for unpacking
- the compounds contained in the large bags can moreover present very varied chemical compositions, and toxicities for man, and / or the animal and / or the natural environment more or less high.
- Another device intended for transferring the contents of large bags as described in US Pat. No. 5,507,602 consists in horizontally placing a flexible, elastic membrane through which flows the powder content of large bags.
- the subject of the invention is therefore an installation intended for automatically and individually unpacking large flexible containers filled with materials, and comprising a conveyor belt, a hopper, a crusher, a sorter, these said elements being subjected to a vacuum for the duration of container unpacking.
- the invention is characterized in that the sorter comprises discs adapted to the nature of the materials included in the flexible containers.
- the installation of the invention has the advantage of being able to adapt very easily, on the one hand, to the speed of unpacking of the flexible containers, depending on the consumption or the subsequent reprocessing of their content, for example in a processing installation annexed and on the other hand, to variations in the physical state of their content within the same container.
- the installation also makes it possible to treat, easily, successively, quickly and without any modification of its means constituting it, flexible containers containing pulverulent materials then flexible containers containing more or less partially solidified materials, or vice versa, and this without damage the cutting tool or even without creating dust or splashes in large quantities and / or harmful to the working environment nearby.
- the subject of the invention is also a process for automatic and individual deconditioning of large flexible containers filled with materials, consisting in:
- the method is characterized in that after the routing step the containers are crushed in full, and the crushed assembly is then sorted to obtain the shreds of the containers and the separated materials.
- a final object of the invention is the use of the installation as defined above for unpacking large flexible containers, filled with powdery materials or not.
- the depression is between approximately 5mm and 10mm of water column. This depression can be constant during the deconditioning period.
- the mill can include a rotor having a rotational speed of between about 60 and 120 rpm.
- the duration of deconditioning of flexible containers can vary from approximately 1.5 minutes to approximately 3 minutes.
- This figure is a schematic representation, in section, of the installation according to the invention.
- the general reference installation 1 comprises a transparent strip 2 on which the large containers 3a, 3b, 3c are unloaded, of approximately 2 m 3 in volume each, coming from a truck 4.
- the truck 4 can be equipped with a moving floor (not shown) so as to unload automatically and without the use of a gripping shovel said flexible containers.
- the containers 3a, 3b, 3c comprise, respectively, pulverulent residues of household waste incineration fumes (REFIOM), solidified REFIOMs and filter press spoilers, tixotropics originating from the physico-chemical treatment of residues acids from surface treatment.
- the containers 3a, 3b, 3c are made of polypropylene.
- the conveyor belt 2 constitutes a buffer storage of the containers 3a, 3b, 3c before their treatment according to the invention.
- the installation 1 further comprises a freight elevator 5, the upper part 5a of which is situated approximately 23 meters above the ground, is connected to a hopper 6 of substantially square geometric base, having a total height of approximately 3 meters, a total width of about 1.70 meters, and equipped with a truck style damping means (not shown).
- the hopper 6 comprises in its middle part a grinder 7 consisting of at least one cutting rotor having a rotational speed ranging from 60 to 120 revolutions / min.
- the rotor When it is brought into contact with the bottom of each container, the rotor rips them apart and grinds them individually and successively due to its rotation, so as to transform them into shreds.
- each container then flows by gravity onto a disc sorter 8, arranged horizontally, and just above the crusher 7.
- a disc sorter 8 arranged horizontally, and just above the crusher 7.
- the content of each container flows continuously (pulverulent state) or discontinuously (monolithic) to the sorter 8.
- the shape the geometry of the discs constituting the sorter 8 can be adapted to the content of the containers 3a, 3b, 3c.
- the sorter 8 makes it possible to direct, on the one hand, to a first container 9 the contents of the containers 3a, 3b, 3c, and on the other hand, to a second container 10 the flexible containers transformed into shreds after passing through the hopper 6
- the separation of the shreds from the containers and from the materials makes it possible to avoid incorporating these shreds into content processing methods arranged after the installation of the invention.
- the material stored in the first container 9 is then extracted from the latter using a soulless screw (not shown) so as to avoid the formation of jams at the outlet.
- the hopper 6 is arranged substantially vertically so as to facilitate the flow of materials. Furthermore, the internal wall of all the elements constituting the hopper 6 is covered with chemical coatings which facilitate the speed of flow of the materials towards the outside (such as polyamides of rilsan type, epoxy, fluorinated polymers) while providing satisfactory erosion resistance and chemical resistance.
- the entire installation 1 is subjected to a vacuum of at least 5mm of water column, so as to reduce the contamination of handling staff.
- the treatment flow of the installation can reach values of 80 m 3 / hour for flexible containers of around 2 m 3 .
