CA 2251213

A large tumbling device into which broken pieces of labeled glass such as beverage bottles, or cullet, are fed. After entering the interior chamber of the tumbler, the cullet is carried by a plurality of interior fins along the inside circumference of the tumbler to a point where the glass falls back to the low point of the tumbler. During this fall, the cullet passes through a flame generated in the interior cavity of said tumbler. The glass is heated to a temperature well below 600 degrees Fahrenheit (the temperature at which the molecular structure of glass begins to change) therefore ensuring that the processed glass retains its original properties. This process is repeated numerous times, ensuring that all of the foreign material is removed, before the cullet passes through the entirety of the chamber and is cooled to be processed into the desired grades.

Cette invention concerne un gros tambour de nettoyage de fragments de verre de récupération provenant par exemple de bouteilles étiquetées. Une fois déversés dans le tambour, les fragments sont entraînés vers le haut par une série d'ailettes intérieures jusqu'à un point où ils retombent naturellement au fond. En retombant, les fragments traversent une flamme qui les porte à une température nettement inférieure à 600 degrés Fahrenheit (température où la structure moléculaire du verre commence à changer) afin de ne pas en altérer les propriétés initiales. Le culbutage se répète un grand nombre de fois avant la sortie du tambour pour faire en sorte que le verre soit débarrassé de toute matière étrangère avant son refroidissement en vue d'un traitement de réduction granulométrique.
