  • Patent number: 11642701
    Abstract: Disc screen for separating solid residues, which includes multiple parallel rotation shafts, each of which carries a plurality of discs fixed thereto. In addition, the disc screen includes multiple shaped rings, which are each constituted by multiple sectors removably mounted around the rotation shafts, and they are placed between the discs in order to simply and easily vary the screening section. The external edge of each shaped ring is provided with thrust sections, which are adapted to intercept the material to be screened in order to subject the latter to a greater stress, which facilitates a more efficient separation of the materials, and push upward components of light and filamentous material so as to prevent possible entangling and obstructions of such materials at the rotation shafts.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11351573
    Abstract: A disc screen for separating solid residues which comprises multiple parallel rotation shafts, each of which carrying, fixed thereto, a plurality of discs. The lateral faces of the aforesaid discs are provided with thrust wings having curved section, which are adapted to intercept components of the material to be screened, in particular light or filamentous materials, in order to expel them outside the interspaces between the discs, so as to prevent possible tangling and obstruction of such materials at the rotation shafts.

  • Patent number: 10960437
    Abstract: Disc screen for the separation of solid residues, provided with a plurality of parallel rotating shafts each carrying a plurality of discs and defining a screening plane for treating residues between an input section and an output section. A movable hopper is provided for, slidable along an advancement direction of the residues, above the screening plane, provided with an outlet door which can supply the screening plane in different positions.

  • Patent number: 9764359
    Abstract: Screen for separating solid residues, and in particular for separating sheet or expanded material, such as bags or parts of bags made of plastic, polystyrene, spongy material or another light material, which comprises a separation station (10) interposed between the inlet port (P1) and the outlet port (P2) of the screen above its screening surface (P) and preferably after the powders and the lightest portions have already been separated. The station (10) comprises a hood (11) delimiting a suction chamber (13), and insufflation means (15) for orienting at least one lifting air flow (16) in the suction chamber (13) at the screening surface (P). The lifting air flow (16) is oriented for forming a vortex (17) confined in said suction chamber (13) and with rotation axis (Z) orthogonal to the screening surface (P) capable of lifting the sheet material and delivering it to suction means (18) associated with the hood (11).

  • Patent number: 8627962
    Abstract: The invention is a screen (1) for separating solid residues, comprising: a plurality of parallel rotary shafts (2) spaced from each other and associated with a supporting structure (3); drive means (4, 4a) of the shafts (2) suited to set them rotating around their longitudinal axis (Y); a plurality of screening discs (8) arranged spaced from each other along the rotary shafts (2) to which they are fixed through connection means (9); a plurality of anti-clogging sleeves (10; 20) coupled externally to the rotary shafts (2) and each included between two corresponding screening discs (8). A stabilizing body (11, 21) is arranged peripherally inside each one of the anti-clogging sleeves (10, 20).
