Abstract
Disclosed is a method for dissociating different constituents of a heterogeneous artificial material, including the fragmentation of the material in a fragmentation machine by material-bed compression, the machine including at least one vibrator and a system for controlling at least one parameter of the fragmentation force from the speed of rotation of the vibrator and the phase shift angle between at least two vibrators. The control system adjusts a rotation parameter of the vibrators so as to generate a fragmentation force by the machine allowing to at least partially dissociate at least one of the constituents of the material from the other constituents.

A method for dissociating different constituents of heterogeneous artificial material via fragmentation by material-bed compression, the method comprising:
- using a fragmentation machine (1) equipped with
- a tank (3) forming an internal fragmentation track (3a) about a longitudinal axis of the machine (1),
- a hub (5) forming an external fragmentation track (5a) about a longitudinal axis of the machine (1), the hub (5) located inside the tank (3),
- plural vibrators that each rotate about a respective longitudinal axis of the machine (1), and each being connected to one of the tank (3) and the hub (5), and
- a control system (11);
- rotating the plural vibrators of the fragmentation machine (1), such that the tank performs a movement relative to the hub (5) in a plane that is transverse to a longitudinal axis of the machine (1);
- feeding the fragmentation machine (1) with the material to be fragmented;
- and
- fragmenting the material between the external fragmentation track (5a) and the internal fragmentation track (3a),
- wherein the control system (11) operates to control a parameter of the plural vibrators, said parameter being one of a speed of rotation of the plural vibrators and a relative phase shift angle between the plural vibrators, and
- wherein the control system adjusts the parameter of the plural vibrators so as to generate a fragmentation force by the machine (1) and thereby at least partially dissociate at least one constituent of the material from other constituents of the material.
