Recovery system for blasting device

Abstract

The unction relates to au improved recovery system for blasting works, comprising a space below a perforated floor of the blasting works fox receiving the blast material, and suction channels (21) for leading the blast material from the space below the floor to a classifier by using a blower; the recovery system comprises at least one elongated, substantially horizontal chute (17) opening upwards and arranged into the said space, the chute comprising two side walls (18, 19), and an elongated cover element (20) with two elongated free side edges (22, 23) arranged over the chute; the chute (17) and cover element (20) form between them a discharge channel (21) for the blast material; in addition, the system comprises pneumatic cylinders (26) for moving the cover element (20) in vertical direction between a lower and a raised position so that in the lower position, the side edges (22, 23) of the cover element engage the side walls (18, 19) of the chute and, in the raised position, the side edges (22, 23) of the cover element are at a distance from the side walls (18, 19) of the chute, thus forming two elongated suction gaps (24, 25) for leading the blast material to the discharge channel (21); further, the recovery system includes springs (27, 28) which cooperate with the pneumatic cylinders (26) for facilitating the movement of the cover element (20).
