Patent number: 9527740Abstract: The present disclosure relates to ground expanded graphite agglomerate compositions, methods for making such agglomerates, their use as conductive additives, and conductive composites including such ground expanded graphite agglomerates. The disclosure also relates to methods for making such composites and the use of such composites in preparing thermally conductive materials. The agglomerates may be characterized by a certain softness allowing the agglomerates to dissolve, for example, through shear forces applied during compounding, thereby leading to an improved feedability and a highly homogenous distribution of the expanded graphite material in the composite matrix.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2015Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: IMERYS GRAPHITE & CARBON SWITZERLAND SAInventors: Eusebiu Grivei, Fabio Rota, Jean-Christophe Rietsch, Simone Zuercher, Raffaele Gilardi, Michael Spahr

Patent number: 9102539Abstract: The disclosure relates to processes for the production and thermal treatment of carbon material, in particular, graphite powders, in an Acheson type oven, using a functional filler comprising graphitic material in particulate form allowing electrical current to flow through the charge. The particulate form of the filler allows greater flexibility and can be used to control the degree of direct and indirect heating, resulting in more uniform products. Such graphite materials may typically be employed as an additive in polymers, batteries, or other applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2009Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Imerys Graphite & Carbon Switzerland SAInventors: Fabio Rota, Edo Rossetti, Davide Cattaneo, Michael Spahr

Patent number: 7905437Abstract: A waste shredder (1) includes at least one loading chamber (3), two or more rotors (4) placed in seats formed in the bottom wall of the loading chamber (3) and a movable hopper (2) sliding above the loading chamber (3) and provided with a reciprocating translational movement. The hopper (2) has two end walls (B, B?) and carries a plurality of stiff vanes (5) placed in the spaces between the rotors (4), the end walls (B, B1) and the stiff vanes (5) protruding downward until they skim the bottom of the loading chamber (3) to press the material (8) to be shredded against the rotors (4). The rotors (4) turn in the opposite direction to the translational movement of the hopper (2) and reverse their direction of rotation when the hopper (2) reverses its direction of translation.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2008Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Satrind S.p.A.Inventor: Fabio Rota

Publication number: 20050242221Abstract: An industrial shredder is described—designed to shred the most diverse materials, such as plastic, rubber, paper, wood, metals and the like—which comprises two counter-rotating shafts (1), parallel to each other, whereon are keyed disc-shaped blades (2) with one or more teeth (3), intercalated with spacers (4) having about the same thickness as the blades and a diameter smaller than the blades one, so that the spacers (4) of one shaft are blades and a diameter smaller than the blades one, so that the spacers (4) of one shaft are opposed to the blades (2) of the other shaft, said shafts (1) being so spaced that the blades of one shaft intersect with those of the other shaft to force the material poured into an upper cutting chamber (7) to be sheared between said blades.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2003Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventor: Fabio Rota

Patent number: 5609307Abstract: A shredding apparatus includes rotating shredder rollers with parallel axes. Each roller is formed by numerous toothed discs with spaces between the discs. Two or more of the rollers are cooperating rollers with the discs of the cooperating rollers being offset so that the discs of each of the cooperating rollers can enter the spaces between the discs of another one of the cooperating rollers. Some of the rollers cooperate with curved grid sectors that are coaxial with the rollers. Curved, non-perforated and/or perforated plate sectors are coaxial with a pair of cooperating rollers rotating in opposite directions, the plate sectors being coaxial with and having a greater radius than the cooperating rollers and extending around the cooperating rollers for an arc. Blades are provided along one or more edges between the perforated and/or plate sectors.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1995Date of Patent: March 11, 1997Assignee: Satrind s.r.l.Inventor: Fabio Rota

Patent number: 4824028Abstract: A shredder (1) is surrounded by a revolving screen (3) which also acts as an elevator. Said shredder outputs the shredded material in the interior of said screen (3), which allows the exit of the smaller material through the holes and lifts the remaining material depositing it once more at the input of the shredder (1). According to the present invention the bottom surface of the drum faces a fixed wall (8) placed at such a distance that it determines the third dimension of the material which passes through.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 1988Date of Patent: April 25, 1989Assignee: Satrind S.r.l.Inventor: Fabio Rota
