  • Patent number: 9707594
    Abstract: An apparatus and process for reclamation of indoor and outdoor gun ranges, wherein a mixture of rubber chunks, lead pieces, and trash from the range are fed into a first cyclonic separator for the removal of the lead. The rubber and trash are segregated and moved from the first cyclone to a second cyclonic separator, for separation of the rubber from the trash, while the trash is passed to a filter system. In the filter system, the trash is removed and drops out through a rotary valve at the bottom of the filter, leaving the air to be removed out the top of the filter system to be moved by suction through a Roots type blower to become pressurized air to distribute the rubber particles coming from the second cyclonic separator, back to the range or into collection in bags.
