Abstract
An item of equipment for separating bagged waste has a hopper, separation means for separating the waste, a scanner for classifying the waste, elements for opening the bagged waste, chutes with gates, classification means, an artificial vision camera, and a plurality of shredders. Thus, the shredders are able to shred the waste subsequent to the classification thereof by type of polymer and color, thanks to the artificial vision camera. The equipment enables the individual separation of the bagged waste for the subsequent treatment thereof, as frequently some bags of waste are adhered to others.
Claims18
Equipment for separating bagged waste, comprising:
- at least one hopper (2) with closing means (3),
- separation means configured for separating the bagged waste,
