Abstract
A container grinding system having a box equipped with a closing device coupled to a first safety device, the box having a container introduction opening arranged in a top part of the box and capable of being closed by the closing device, the grinding system having a grinder having at least one grinding shaft for shredding chipped containers, a filtering basket recovering the ground material from the grinding of containers, and a set of rinse nozzles, the grinding system being configured so that following the introduction of a container into the box for grinding the same, the first safety device inhibits the operation of the grinder as long as the closing device does not ensure closing of the box.
Claims16
A container grinding system comprising:
- a box comprising a closing device moveable between an open position and a closed position, a container introduction opening arranged in a top part of the box and capable of being closed by the closing device, and the box further comprising, in a bottom part of the box, a set of walls converging towards a suction pipe capable of being connected to a tank of a spray system,
- a grinder arranged in a central part of the box, the grinder comprising at least one grinding shaft equipped with knives for shredding a container, a filtering basket recovering ground material obtained from grinding the container, and a set of rinse nozzles,
- a first safety device coupled to the closing device, wherein the first safety device inhibits operation of the grinder when the closing device is not in the closed position;
- and
- wherein the filtering basket is arranged immediately downstream of the grinder, in order to recover the ground material, the filtering basket having perforated walls so as to enable the ground material to be washed using the set of rinse nozzles.
A container grinding system comprising:
- a box comprising a closing device moveable between an open position and a closed position, a container introduction opening arranged in a top part of the box and capable of being closed by the closing device, and the box further comprising, in a bottom part of the box, a set of walls converging towards a suction pipe capable of being connected to a tank of a spray system,
- a grinder arranged in a central part of the box, the grinder comprising two parallel grinding shafts equipped with knives for shredding a container, counter-knives that cooperate with the knives, a filtering basket recovering ground material from grinding the container, and a set of rinse nozzles,
- a first safety device coupled to the closing device, wherein the first safety device inhibits operation of the grinder when the closing device is not in the closed position;
- wherein the knives comprise pairs of rotating disks equipped with teeth and arranged orthogonal to the grinding shafts, the rotating disks are spaced apart and parallel to each other, with at least one off-axis hook between each pair of rotating disks, the rotating disks and off-axis hooks of each grinding shaft being staggered relative to each other.
A container grinding system comprising:
- a box comprising a closing device moveable between an open position and a closed position, a container introduction opening arranged in a top part of the box and capable of being closed by the closing device, and the box further comprising, in a bottom part of the box, a set of walls converging towards a suction pipe capable of being connected to a tank of a spray system,
- a grinder arranged in a central part of the box, the grinder comprising at least one grinding shaft equipped with knives for shredding a container, a filtering basket recovering ground material from grinding the container, and a set of rinse nozzles,
- a first safety device coupled to the closing device, wherein the first safety device inhibits operation of the grinder when the closing device is not in the closed position;
- wherein the set of rinse nozzles comprises, in a top part of the box, at least one rinse nozzle adapted to wash upper portions of inner faces of walls of the box;
- in a central part of the box, at least one rinse nozzle adapted to wash the grinder;
- and, in a bottom part of the box, at least one rinse nozzle adapted to wash the ground material in the filtering basket recovering the ground material as well as to wash lower portions of the inner faces of the walls of the box.
