An automated container handling and processing system (10) includes a metal and plastic container handling subsystems (12, 12') which includes a conveyor (14, 14') for conveying a plurality of large bins (26) carrying crushed containers. An automated dumping station (32, 32') receives and inverts the bins (26) to dump the crushed containers into a central hopper (20, 20'), then sends the bins to a washer (56, 56'). A belt conveyor (86, 86') receives containers which do not require identification or accounting, and a second belt conveyor (92, 92') receives containers from sorting machines (94) which are capable of reading a bar code on each container to identify the brand and of providing that information to a central accounting system. Both conveyors lead to the central hopper (20, 20') which feeds all containers to a crusher/baler (16, 16').
Ce système automatique de traitement et de manipulation (10) de contenants comprend des sous-systèmes de traitement (12, 12'), l'un de contenants métalliques et l'autre, de contenants plastiques, ces sous-systèmes comprenant un transporteur (14, 14') destiné à acheminer plusieurs bacs (26) porteurs de contenants écrasés. Un poste automatique de déversement (32, 32') reçoit les bacs (26), les renverse afin de vider les contenants écrasés dans une trémie centrale (20, 20'), puis envoie les bacs vers un dispositif de lavage (56, 56'). Un transporteur à courroie (86, 86') reçoit les contenants ne nécessitant pas d'identification ou de comptage, et un second transporteur à courroie (92, 92') reçoit des contenants à partir de trieuses (94) capables de lire un code à barres sur chaque contenant, afin d'identifier la marque et fournir cette information à un système de comptage central. Les deux transporteurs à courroie mènent à la trémie centrale (20, 20'), laquelle déverse tous les contenants en direction d'un concasseur/presse (16, 16').
