Abstract: A dust-exhaust acceleration face of a dust-exhaust assistant member is disposed so as to face a top face of a heat radiating member of a production facility or the like so that a gap between the top face of the heat radiating member and the dust-exhaust acceleration face of the dust-exhaust assistant member is occupied by ascending air flows, each having a falling velocity (terminal velocity) that is not accelerated beyond a fixed velocity, to form a balanced state between the size of an object, such as a dust particulate or a chemical substance particulate, and air resistance when the object is freely falling in the air; thus, the object, such as a dust particulate and a chemical substance particulate, is prevented from falling onto the heat radiating member.

Abstract: A separation method for extracting a target 1 from a separation subject (101) in which the target (1) to be extracted and a non-target (2) are mixed. The method includes the steps of distinguishing the target (1) from the non-target (2); obtaining positional information of the target (1) distinguished; attaching a liquid to the target (1) based on the positional information; and extracting the target (1) from the separation subject (101) by bringing a catch member (140) into contact with the separation subject (101) such that viscosity of the liquid causes the target (1) to adhere to the catch member.

Abstract: A separation method of separating first targets (2) and second targets (7) from a separation subject (101). The separation method includes: conveying the separation subject (101); distinguishing the first targets (2); obtaining positional information of the first targets (2); dropping the separation subject (101) from an end of a conveyance path; striking each of the dropping first targets with a pulsing first airflow (F1) so as to change a drop path of the first targets (2); and striking the first target, which is blown up to or above a predetermined height with a second airflow (F2) so as to change the drop path of the first target (2).

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide burning equipment that can prevent uneven burning and increase productivity. The burning equipment of the present invention includes: a furnace body (13) having an inner space in which a powdery or granular subject to be treated (11) is burned; a gas ejection portion (21) having an opening for ejecting an atmospheric gas from above the subject to be treated (11) which is conveyed in the inner space of the furnace body (13); a gas supply portion (18) for supplying the atmospheric gas from a side wall (13c) of the furnace body (13) to the gas ejection portion (21); and a heating portion (24a, 24b) for controlling temperature distribution in the inner space of the furnace body (13).

Abstract: In a method of separating pieces of a specific constituent substance from a mixture by blowing the pieces across a free-fall position of the mixture by pulse air shot out of a pulse air nozzle, there is a problem that a less amount of the pieces is recovered. A separation method of separating first targets (2) and second targets (7) from a separation subject (101), including: conveying the separation subject (101); distinguishing the first targets (2); obtaining positional information of the first targets (2); dropping the separation subject (101) from an end of a conveyance path; striking a pulsing first airflow (F1) on each of the first targets (2) that is dropping, so as to change a drop path of the first target (2); and striking a second airflow (F2) on the first target (2) which is blown up to or above a predetermined height, so as to change the drop path of the first target (2).

Abstract: A separation object including at least two types of resins with different glass transition temperatures (glass transition temperature of a first resin 1<glass transition temperature of a second resin 2) is placed on a separating member 3. Next, primary heating is applied at a temperature between the glass transition temperatures of the first resin 1 and the second resin 2, and pressurization is additionally performed to cause the first resin 1 to adhere to the separating member 3. Subsequently, a heat history of secondary heating at a temperature higher than the primary heating temperature is applied to detach and recover the second resin 2 by restoring the shape of the second resin 2, while the first resin 1 adhering to and retained by the separating member 3 is detached by a blade 5 and the like for recovery.
