| 20110024531 | Method and System for Separating and Recovering Wire and Other Metal from Processed Recycled Materials - Processing waste materials to recover valuable metals, such as copper, from the materials. The disclosed systems and methods employ processes that further refine the waste materials to concentrate the metallic material after the waste materials are initially processed. Processes include employing air separation and screening. Processes also include employing a dynamic sensor and a vacuum pressure separator to separate metals from other materials. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110147501 | Method and System for Separating and Recovering Wire and Other Metal from Processed Recycled Materials - Processing waste materials to recover valuable metals, such as copper, from the materials. The disclosed systems and methods employ processes that further refine the waste materials to concentrate the metallic material after the waste materials are initially processed. Processes include employing air separation and screening. Processes also include employing a dynamic sensor and a vacuum pressure separator to separate metals from other materials. A central processing facility may process metal concentrate from multiple concentration facilities. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20120111977 | PROCESS FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF SEPARATED MATERIALS IN THE SCRAP METAL INDUSTRY - What is presented is a process for scrap metal processing for shredding and sorting recoverable material from a material stream that comprises a ferrous fraction, a non-ferrous fraction, a waste fraction and a less ferrous fraction that includes composite materials. The process comprises first shredding the material stream with a first shredder to a size that enables downstream processing. The shredded material stream is then conveyed to at least one drum separator to remove the non-ferrous fraction from the material stream and then conveyed to a first conveyor separator to further separate the ferrous fraction from the material stream. At the completion of these steps the remaining material stream to be handled by downstream processes represents 10% to 40% of the original material stream as compared to 70% to 75% of the material stream in the prior art. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120318897 | ALUMINA FIBER AGGREGATE, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND USE THEREOF - A process for producing the alumina fiber aggregate which, when examined by the electron microscope method, gives a frequency distribution regarding number of fibers, wherein the number of fibers having a fiber length of 50-200 μm is 70% or more (including 100%), the number of fibers having a fiber length smaller than 50 μm is 30% or less (including 0), the number of fibers of 50-100 μm is 30-50%, the number of fibers longer than 100 μm but not longer than 200 μm is 30-50%, and the number of fibers longer than 200 μm is 20% or less (including 0). The process including the steps of grinding cottony alumina-based fibers comprising 70-100% by mass of Al | 12-20-2012 |
| 20130032648 | APPARATUS PREVENTING FERROUS OBJECTS FROM ENTERING A GARBAGE DISPOSAL - A magnetic strap for preventing the undesired passage of articles through a sink drain hole and into a garbage disposal includes a strap member having a first end and a second end, with mating fastening members provided at the first end and the second end for selectively securing the first end to the second end so as to form a loop. A plurality of magnets are secured to the strap member, the magnets exhibiting sufficient strength to attract and trap ferrous objects by drawing the ferrous objects toward a sink flange where the ferrous objects are frictionally held to thereby prevent the ferrous objects from inadvertently slipping through the sink drain hole and into the garbage disposal. | 02-07-2013 |
| 20130277466 | ROLLER CRUSHER, AND METHOD OF PROTECTING A ROLLER CRUSHER FROM UNCRUSHABLE OBJECTS - A method of protecting a roller crusher, having two rollers separated by a gap, from uncrushable objects is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of:

| 20140070035 | TONER PRODUCING APPARATUS AND TONER PRODUCING METHOD - A toner producing apparatus including: a foreign matter separating unit including a foreign matter separating chamber for separating metallic foreign matters contained in raw powder material of toner from the raw powder material of toner by using gravity, a feeding pipe connected to the foreign matter separating chamber so as to feed the raw powder material of toner into the foreign matter separating chamber, and an exhausting pipe connected to the foreign matter separating chamber so as to exhaust the raw powder material of toner from the foreign matter separating chamber; and a pulverizing unit including a rotor, the pulverizing unit being connected to the exhausting pipe of the foreign matter separating unit. | 03-13-2014 |
| 20140077008 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IRON ORE BYPRODUCT PROCESSING - Processing byproduct material from a direct reduction process of iron ore to reclaim iron and other materials from the byproduct. The systems and methods employ gravity separation tables to separate the iron from other byproduct material constituents. The byproduct material constituents may be size reduced, processed to remove dust, and sized prior to processing by the gravity separation. | 03-20-2014 |
| 20140117127 | TRAMP MATERIAL INDICATION - A method for detecting tramp material in an inertia cone crusher having an outer crushing shell and an inner crushing shell is provided. The inner crushing shell is supported on a crushing head. The crushing head is rotatably connected to an unbalance bushing. The unbalance bushing has an unbalance weight for tilting the unbalance bushing when it is rotated, such that the crushing head will gyrate about a gyration axis, the inner crushing shell thereby approaching the outer crushing shell for crushing material in the crushing chamber formed therebetween. The method includes the steps of measuring at least one of a position and a motion of the crushing head; obtaining, based on the measurement, a gyration value; comparing the gyration value with a gyration reference value; and determining, based on the comparison, whether to issue a tramp material warning signal indicating the presence of tramp material in the crusher. | 05-01-2014 |
| 20160024612 | Method And Device For Obtaining Pure, Additive-Free Scrap Iron From A Mixture Of Comminuted Scrap Metal - A method and a device for obtaining scrap iron from a mixture of comminuted scrap metal. The device and the method are characterized in that individual steps are carried out in order to remove iron from additives adhering to the iron. Emphasis is placed on copper and copper-containing additives. Comminuted scrap metal is divided into small and large scrap parts using a sieve device. The small scrap parts are transported to a scrap sorting machine, and the large material parts are returned to the macerator. In the scrap sorting machine, copper-containing material is sorted out, and iron which still contains copper is guided to a special over-belt magnet via a vibrating trough, the over-belt magnet shaking and rocking the copper-containing material over the belt section such that nonmagnetic additives drop down from the iron, and iron with a copper content of only 0.01% to a maximum of 0.1% is obtained. | 01-28-2016 |
