Abstract
A method of processing organics having a relocatable trailer transporting a hopper, an infeed conveyor, an organics separation unit, an organics conveyor, an inorganics waste conveyor, and a control panel between processing locations of organic material. The control panel regulates the operation of the infeed conveyor, the organics separation unit, the organics conveyor and the inorganics waste conveyor. Following completion of processing the components carried on the trailer may be cleaned and the trailer supporting the processing components may be moved to another processing location.
Claims20
A method of processing organics said method comprising:
- moving a trailer to a location having source organics to be processed, the trailer transporting and utilizing an infeed hopper, an infeed conveyor, a turbo separator having paddles, an organics conveyor, an inorganics waste conveyor, and a control panel, said control panel regulating the operation of said infeed conveyor, said turbo separator, said organics conveyor and said inorganics waste conveyor;
- loading said source organics into said infeed hopper;
- activating from said control panel said infeed conveyor transferring said source organics from said infeed hopper to said turbo separator;
- processing and separating said source organics into recovered organics and recovered inorganics within said turbo separator,
- passing said recovered organics onto said organics conveyor;
- discharging said recovered inorganics onto said inorganics waste conveyor;
- transferring said recovered organics to an organics container by said organics conveyor, said recovered organics comprising at least a portion of wet organic material;
- and
- transferring said recovered inorganics to a waste inorganics container from said inorganics waste conveyor.
A method of processing organics said method comprising:
- moving a trailer to a location having source organics to be processed, the trailer transporting and utilizing an infeed hopper, an infeed conveyor, a turbo separator having paddles, an organics conveyor, an inorganics waste conveyor, and a control panel, said control panel regulating the operation of said infeed conveyor, said turbo separator, said organics conveyor and said inorganics waste conveyor;
- loading said source organics into said infeed hopper;
- activating from said control panel said infeed conveyor transferring said source organics from said infeed hopper to said turbo separator;
- processing and separating said source organics into recovered organics and recovered inorganics within said turbo separator;
- passing said recovered organics onto said organics conveyor;
- discharging said recovered inorganics onto said inorganics waste conveyor;
- transferring said recovered organics to an organics container by said organics conveyor, said recovered organics comprising at least a portion of wet organic material;
- transferring said recovered inorganics to a waste inorganics container from said inorganics waste conveyor;
- wherein said infeed conveyor, said turbo separator, said organics conveyor and said inorganics waste conveyor each have at least one operational speed parameter, wherein said control panel regulates said at least one operational speed parameter during processing of said source organics;
- positioning said organics conveyor outwardly from said trailer;
- positioning said inorganics waste conveyor outwardly from said trailer;
- reducing the initial size of said source organics within said infeed conveyor;
- and
- installing in said turbo separator at least one curved perforated plate or punch screen having a plurality of openings and rotating a horizontal shaft having said paddles within said turbo separator reducing said source organics into said recovered inorganics and said recovered organics.
