  • Publication number: 20040103514
    Abstract: A refrigerant gas is collected and a compressor is removed from a discarded refrigerator, a heat-insulating housing including a heat insulator is cut/processed and separated into a plurality of pieces, and the pieces are compressed/processed by compression rollers opposing each other so as to collect a gas contained in the heat insulator. In accordance with this method, substantially no gas contained in the heat insulator is diffused at the time of cutting the heat-insulating housing, and the gas can be collected at a high concentration because it is collected by being allowed to leak out at the time of compressing. Furthermore, by using the compression rollers, closed-cells in the heat insulator can be crushed easily, thereby collecting the gas completely and reliably. Thus, it is possible to collect a foaming gas contained in the heat insulator efficiently and disassemble a refrigerator at low cost without increasing the size of-equipment and an installation space.

  • Publication number: 20030167890
    Abstract: An impacting body is mounted rotatably to a spindle provided on a principal plane of a rotor. The impacting body is mounted so that a predetermined fitting gap is provided between the impacting body and the spindle and a part of periphery of the impacting body can be positioned beyond a periphery of the rotor. The rotor is rotated at a high speed to allow the impacting body to impact on an object to be processed at least at its critical impact velocity. This enables only the top layer of the object to be processed at the part on which the impacting body has impacted to be broken instantaneously. When the rotor is moved while being rotated, the object to be processed can be cut. According to this cutting device, an object formed of a single member such as glass, ceramics, resin, metal, or the like, or a composite member thereof can be cut continuously with one kind of cutting tool.

  • Publication number: 20030029562
    Abstract: A method for disassembling a discarded refrigerator that uses a foamed resin as a heat insulator according to the present invention includes the processes of cutting and separating a heat-insulating housing of a refrigerator into pieces having a predetermined size and shape; obtaining the foamed resin by passing the pieces between a pair of compression rollers arranged so as to oppose each other and compressing the pieces, thereby peeling off and separating an incompressible plate-like object layered at least on one surface of the pieces; and collecting a foaming gas by passing the foamed resin (301) between a pair of compression rollers (331, 332) arranged so as to oppose each other and compressing the foamed resin, thereby allowing the foaming gas in the foamed resin to leak out. This makes it possible to collect a foaming gas in a heat insulator while maintaining a high concentration with small equipment at low cost.
