Patent number: 11371184Abstract: A method to facilitate recycling waste material, including waste paper and organic material, comprises the steps of receiving a plurality of plastic-wrapped compressed bales of the waste material at a waste material recycling location from a remote baling location, thereafter introducing the plurality of plastic-wrapped compressed bales into a re-pulping device at the waste material recycling location to form a treated waste material including substantially re-pulped waste paper, and thereafter discharging the treated waste material from the re-pulping device.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2015Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: JUNO LLCInventors: David Christer Henriksson, Wayne Frederick Winkler, Bradley E. Lucas

Patent number: 10100465Abstract: Integrated methods and systems for recycling waste material including waste paper are provided, the methods including treating the waste material in the pressure vessel at an elevated processing temperature and an elevated processing pressure to form a treated waste material including a substantially re-pulped waste paper; discharging the treated waste material from the pressure vessel; and thereafter separating and diluting the treated waste material to dilute a portion including the substantially re-pulped waste paper to from about 1% to about 20% by weight solids. The recovered paper pulp fraction and substantially fiber-free recoverable/recyclable plastics and metals may be further separated and used as feedstock in a variety of subsequent processes.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: GEORGIA-PACIFIC CONTAINERBOARD LLCInventors: David Christer Henriksson, Wayne Frederick Winkler, Bradley E. Lucas, Paul Topping

Patent number: 9353476Abstract: A method for recycling waste material including waste paper comprises the steps of introducing the waste material into a pressure vessel, re-pulping the waste paper in the pressure vessel at an elevated processing temperature and pressure to form a treated waste material including substantially re-pulped waste paper, thereafter introducing cooling water into the pressure vessel so as to cool the treated waste material in the pressure vessel to a discharge temperature below the elevated processing temperature and reduce odor emitted by the treated waste material, and thereafter discharging the treated waste material from the pressure vessel. The recovered paper pulp fraction is suitable as a feedstock in the manufacture of a variety of paper products including paper tissue and paper towel products.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: GEORGIA-PACIFIC CONTAINERBOARD LLCInventors: David Christer Henriksson, Wayne Frederick Winkler, Bradley E.

Patent number: 8641866Abstract: A screen structure which is unusually effective at removing stickies from recyclable fiber but is tolerant of substantial swings in throughput which result in variations in the flow velocity through the screen—slot velocity. One example of the screen structure is created by forming a very large number of similarly shaped vanes then locking them into a ring structure to form a cylindrical screen basket but equivalent surface configurations can also be formed into sheet stock.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2013Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LPInventors: Wayne F. Winkler, Bradley E. Lucas
