Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for handling waste material, the machine comprising an upper conveyor member with a conveying portion of a first width, a downstream lower conveyor member with a receiving portion of equal or greater width and an apparatus for distributing material from the upper conveyor member to the downstream lower conveyor member, wherein the apparatus comprises oscillating means, a drive mechanism connected to the oscillating means; and a protruding element attached to the oscillating means for oscillatory movement thereof, wherein the protruding element is a reciprocating attachment adapted to oscillate in a direction transverse to the direction in which it extends, wherein the apparatus is mountable between the conveying portion of the upper conveyor member and the receiving portion of the downstream lower conveyor member such that the protruding element extends substantially in the direction of conveyance of the downstream conveyor member; and wherein in use the oscillating protrudi

Abstract: The present invention relates to a screening apparatus (100) comprising a frame (10); a feed conveyor (20) mounted at one end of the frame and a screen (30) for accepting waste material from the feed conveyor, the waste material comprising fines and oversize material. The screen (30) is mounted on the frame (10) about a pivot axis and comprises a trough (32) with a top opening; and a plurality of driven elongate rotating members (40) disposed in an arc along one side of the trough and along at least a portion of the base of the trough (32) for causing circular or helical flow of the waste material within the trough. The trough (32) further comprises a base opening for discharging the fines material and an oversize material outlet for discharging the oversize material; and wherein the screen is mounted on the frame such that the elongate rotating members (40) are each independently perpendicular to the pivot axis.

Abstract: A mobile picking system for sorting a plurality of materials has a support frame upon which a conveyor arrangement is mounted. The conveyor arrangement is configured to convey the materials from one end of the support frame to the opposing end. At least one picking station is provided upon the support frame adjacent said conveyor arrangement. The support frame is variable between a working configuration and a transporting configuration by a plurality of support legs which are coupled to the support frame. The conveyor arrangement has a picking conveyor and a feed system.
