Recycling device and method for operating a recycling device

A recycling device for removing filler material from a strip-shaped tape material, said tape material comprising an upper side having projecting elements, and a lower side that is free of projecting elements, the recycling device comprising:

• an unwinding means, which is disposed at an entry side and configured for unwinding a roll of the tape material;
• a transport system for conveying the tape material along a transport path from the entry side to an exit side, which comprises at least one transport means;
• an emptying means for the tape material, said emptying means being disposed so as to face the lower side, and the transport path in said emptying means being redirected such that the filler material can drop out of the tape material;
• and
• said recycling device further comprises a plurality of conveying means that runs transversely to the transport path and is disposed in a vertical region below the emptying means, a third conveying means and a fourth conveying means that each run transversely to the transport path and are disposed in a vertical region below an intermediate region configured by two neighboring transport means, a fifth conveying means that transports the filler material to a fractioning means for fractioning the filler material removed from the tape material, the at least one transport means being constructed and arranged to define the emptying means along the transport path, and wherein the recycling device is set up on a transport base.
