Abstract
A mobile machine for separation and recovery of spent shot, the machine including a drive unit to provide self-propelled mobility to the machine, a charged soil collection assembly mounted relative to the drive unit to collect soil charged with spent shot, and at least one separation assembly to separate spent shot from other collected material, the spent shot conveyed to a collection vessel for disposal.
Claims24
A mobile machine for separation and recovery of spent shot, the machine including a drive unit to provide self-propelled mobility to the machine, a charged soil collection assembly mounted relative to the drive unit to collect soil charged with spent shot, and at least one separation assembly to separate spent shot from other collected material, the spent shot conveyed to a collection vessel for disposal;
- wherein the at least one separation assembly includes at least one vibration separation process and at least one pneumatic separation process, the at least one vibration separation process includes vibratory screening using one or more vibrating screens, and one or more spheres are retained relative to, and are freely movable relative to, the one or more vibratory screens, the one or more spheres being configured to assist with the break up of material on the screens and/or to prevent clogging of the screens.
A mobile machine for separation and recovery of spent shot, the machine including a drive unit to provide self-propelled mobility to the machine, a charged soil collection assembly mounted relative to the drive unit to collect soil charged with spent shot, and at least one separation assembly to separate spent shot from other collected material, the spent shot conveyed to a collection vessel for disposal;
- wherein the at least one separation assembly includes at least one vibration separation process and at least one pneumatic separation process, and the pneumatic separation process separates the spent shot from the other collected material on the basis of density.
A mobile machine for separation and recovery of spent shot, the machine including a drive unit to provide self-propelled mobility to the machine, a charged soil collection assembly mounted relative to the drive unit to collect soil charged with spent shot, and at least one separation assembly to separate spent shot from other collected material, the spent shot conveyed to a collection vessel for disposal;
- wherein the machine is provided with a suction assembly configured to exert a suction force on the soil to collect soil therein.
