Abstract
Crushing mill including a crushing chamber, an inlet pipe of the refuse to be crushed connected to the crushing chamber, and a thruster member associated to the inlet pipe; the crushing mill includes a compactor apparatus for the refuse to be crushed provided with one or more presser elements positioned in correspondence to the inlet pipe of the refuse to be crushed and configured to be moved from at least a first inactive position, in which they allow the loading of the refuse to be crushed into the inlet pipe, to at least a second active position in which they compact the refuse in the pipe; the mass of compacted refuse in the inlet pipe is sent to the crushing chamber by means of the thruster member.
Claims13
Crushing mill, comprising a crushing chamber, an inlet pipe of the refuse to be crushed connected to said crushing chamber, and a thruster member associated to said inlet pipe and movable between at least an inactive position of loading the refuse to be crushed into said pipe and one or more active positions of thrusting the refuse to be crushed toward the crushing chamber, wherein it comprises a compactor apparatus for the refuse to be crushed provided with one or more presser elements positioned in correspondence to the inlet pipe of the refuse to be crushed and configured to be moved from at least a first inactive position, in which they allow the loading of the refuse to be crushed into said inlet pipe, to at least a second active position in which they compact said refuse in said pipe, the mass of compacted refuse in said inlet pipe being sent to the crushing chamber by means of said thruster member.
Mill as in any claim hereinbefore, wherein said compactor apparatus comprises a first presser element positioned on a first side of said inlet pipe and a second presser element positioned on a second side of said inlet pipe opposite said first side, said first presser element being configured mainly to convey the refuse in said inlet pipe and said second presser element being configured mainly to compact the refuse.
Method for treating refuse, such as scrap, which comprises moving a thruster member associated to an inlet pipe between an inactive position in which said refuse is loaded into said pipe and one or more active positions of thrusting said refuse in which said refuse is thrust toward a crushing chamber to be crushed, after loading said refuse into said pipe, it provides a compacting of the refuse with a compactor apparatus and, during said compacting, providing to move one or more presser elements, positioned in correspondence to said pipe, between a first inactive position in which they allow the loading of said refuse into said pipe, and a second active position in which they compact said refuse in said pipe, the mass of said compacted refuse being sent to said crushing chamber by means of said thruster member.
