  • Patent number: 7244314
    Abstract: A system for recycling reusable resin mold products recovered from discarded apparatuses is disclosed. This recycling system includes a crushing system for crushing resin mold products one kind by one kind into crushed resinous pieces and packing the same in a bag, a classification system for irradiating a light beam to the resin in the bag and classifying the bags into respective kinds of resins based on a reflected beam therefrom, a cleaning system for separately cleaning the respective kind of crushed resinous pieces taken out of the bag to remove foreign matters adhered onto the surfaces of the crushed resinous pieces therefrom, and a recovery system for recovering the cleaned crushed resinous pieces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 22, 2004
    Date of Patent: July 17, 2007
    Assignee: Techno Polymer Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Takateru Imai, Kenichi Urabe, Kouji Ishikawa
  • Patent number: 7204260
    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus capable of sufficiently removing foreign matters such as coating or labels from surfaces of crushed pieces of the collected polymeric mold product is provided. The cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning bath provided with a rotary shaft extending in the longitudinal direction and having a water supply port, a drainage port as well as an introduction port and a discharging port for polymeric pieces, screw sections having a screw provided on the rotary shaft and flow-path restricting sections having stationary plates standing upright from the inner surface of the cleaning bath to restricting the advancement of water caused by the screw, wherein at least part of a surface of the stationary plate is roughened.
