  • Publication number: 20260048418
    Abstract: Separation machine (10) for separating wood-based materials from other materials, comprising: feed means (24) that convey the materials (A) on the conveyor belt (11) with which there is associated a detection unit (14) configured to detect the presence of materials of organic origin and/or metallic materials; a plurality of compressed air nozzles (12a), disposed downstream of an outlet end (13) of such conveyor belt (11) and configured to selectively push said materials downward; and a blowing device (25) for blowing air towards the wood-based materials coming from said outlet end (13) pushing them beyond a separation element (18) disposed downstream of said blowing device (25).

  • Publication number: 20200070209
    Abstract: Machine and method to separate wood-based materials from other materials. A conveyor belt conveys the group of materials to be separated toward detection members that detect the presence of materials with an organic origin and/or metal materials. Compressed air nozzles selectively thrust downward the materials with an organic origin and/or the metal materials detected by the detection members, under the control of an electronic control unit. A blowing device is disposed downstream of the nozzles to blow air toward the wood-based materials that transit due to inertia above them and thrust them beyond a separation element disposed downstream of the blowing device, while the inert materials, which have a bigger specific weight than the wood-based materials, fall downward due to gravity.

  • Publication number: 20080063549
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a linear compressor comprising a piston (9) arranged slidably inside a cylinder (15); in said cylinder (15) the 15 piston (9) defines a first low-pressure chamber (21) and a second high-pressure chamber (22), said piston being further provided with communication means (23) between said first and said second chamber (21, 22), which are controlled by valve means (24) to establish such communication therebetween.
