System for separating a plastic waste from a paper waste

A system for separating a plastic waste from a paper waste (100), the system consisting of

• (a) a conveyor (110) for loading on a mixed-paper-and-plastic (120);
• (b) a shredder (130) for shredding up the mixed-paper-and-plastic, wherein the shredder (130) is disposed adjacent to the conveyor (110);
• (c) a first fan (140), wherein the first fan (140) is disposed adjacent to the shredder (130) via a first tunnel (280);
• (d) a first chamber (150), wherein the first chamber (150) is adjacent to the first fan (140);
• (e) a first cyclone (160) having a first cyclone drop hole (170) disposed at a bottom (180) of the first cyclone, wherein the first cyclone (160) is adjacent to the first chamber (150) via a second tunnel (290);
• (f) a third tunnel (190) having a third tunnel lower end (200), a third tunnel upper end (210), and a third tunnel mid-section (220), the third tunnel mid-section fluidly connects with the first cyclone drop hole (170), wherein the third tunnel (190) is adjacent to the first cyclone (160) via the first cyclone drop hole (170);
• (g) a third fan (230), wherein the third fan (230) is adjacent to the third tunnel (190) via the third tunnel upper end (210);
• (h) a second cyclone (240) having a second cyclone drop hole (250) disposed at a bottom (260) of the second cyclone, wherein the second cyclone (240) is adjacent to the third fan (230);
• (i) a plastic chute (270) fluidly connected to the third tunnel and extends downwardly toward the ground, and is disposed anywhere directly below the third tunnel and toward the lower end of the third tunnel;
• wherein a first tunnel (280) fluidly connects the shredder and the first chamber, a second tunnel (290) fluidly connects the first chamber and the first cyclone,
• wherein the upper end of the third tunnel is located above the lower end of the third tunnel relative to a ground (300),
• wherein the first fan draws air toward the first chamber, the second fan blows air up the third tunnel from the lower third tunnel end toward the upper tunnel end, the third fan draws air into the second cyclone,
• wherein to separate the plastic waste (400) from the paper waste (410) in the mixed-paper-and-plastic, the mixed-paper-and-plastic is loaded onto the conveyer which is then fed into the shredder, then the shredder shreds the mixed-paper-and-plastic to form a mixed-shred (310) of shredded plastic and shredded paper, then the mixed-shred is drawn into the first chamber, then the mixed-shred is drawn into the first cyclone wherein the cyclone loosens up the mixed-shreds and the shredded plastic and shredded paper slowly drops down the first cyclone drop hole of the first cyclone and into the mid-section of the third tunnel, then as the shredded plastic enters the third tunnel the shredded plastic due to gravity continues to slide down toward the lower end of the third tunnel and falls into the plastic chute and into a shredded plastic box (320) (as the air flow created by the second fan and third fan is not strong enough to blow the shredded plastic upward), and as the shredded paper enters the third tunnel the shredded paper is blown upward by the air flow of the second and third fan toward the upper end of the third tunnel, the shredded paper enters the second cyclone and eventually drops down through the second cyclone drop hole and is collected in a shredded paper box (330).
