Abstract

SYSTEM FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY COMPACTING AND BAGGING, comprising a set of operations used for determining the best manner of disposing of waste in general (garbage), making use of a system with or without recycling, and using high pressure compaction in order to reduce the empty spaces and liquids as a result of the compaction and existing in the waste, for the purpose of their further bagging for conditioning and disposal in proper places.

Claims

1. SYSTEM FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY COMPACTION AND BAGGING, characterized by comprising two solutions:

a) a system without recycling is composed of;

a concrete ramp (1) to provide access for a truck that has collected household waste which is unloaded through a cargo gate (11);

a metallic recipient or feed hopper (2) that receives the waste from the truck, protected by an expanded plate railing (4) and a mesh (6), which transfers the material from the feed hopper to a compactor;

a compactor (3 and 3a) that receives the waste from the feed hopper (2), compacts it at high pressure (10.00 Kg/cm2) reducing the initial amount of waste by more than four times by means of the compacting plate (7) which, in its turn, is activated by the hydraulic cylinder (8), the waste being later bagged in laminated and water-proof polypropylene bags, with one or two bags (5 and 5a) of the adequate diameter and length, and the bag being sealed by means of a hydraulic system (9) and transferred through the opening of the back gate which is activated by another hydraulic system (10);

b) the system with recycling is composed of;

a concrete ramp (12) to provide access for a truck that has collected household waste;

a first feed hopper (13) that receives the waste from the truck;

a conveyor belt (14) that receives the waste from the first hopper and transfers it to a second conveyor belt (15);

a second conveyor belt (15) installed on a metallic platform (16) from which the pickers select the solid waste with added value into specific carts (20);

a second feed hopper/grinder (17) that receives the waste from the second conveyor belt (organic waste);

a compactor (18) or two for 50 t/day or 100 t/day, respectively, that receive(s) the waste and compacts it at high pressure (10.00 Kg/cm²) reducing the initial amount of waste by more than four times and later bagging it in laminated and water-proof polypropylene bags (19) of the adequate diameter and length, the bags being sealed by means of a hydraulic system (9) and transferred through the opening of the back gate which is activated by another hydraulic system (10).

2. SYSTEM FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY COMPACTING AND BAGGING, in accordance with the claim 1 and characterized by the fact that the bags are produced in stationary compactors (5, 5a, or 18) that receive the organic waste material (with no economic value) from the selection conveyor belts (15).

3. SYSTEM FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY COMPACTING AND BAGGING, in accordance with the claim 2 and characterized by the fact that the waste is compacted at high pressure and bagged in water-proof polypropylene bags (19) whose weight of the tissue may vary depending on the kind of waste that is bagged.

4. SYSTEM FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY COMPACTING AND BAGGING, in accordance with the claim 3 and characterized by the fact that the bagged waste has no contact with air or rainwater.

5. SYSTEM FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY COMPACTING AND BAGGING, in accordance with the claim 1 and characterized by the fact that the compactor is fitted with a hydraulic device that allows producing and replacing the bag refill itself, thus allowing producing different bags in each refill.

6. SYSTEM FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY COMPACTING AND BAGGING, in accordance with the claim 3 and characterized by the fact that the weight of the bags may vary (predominantly, organic waste) which may exceed 4.5 tons although it may reach 3.5-4.0 tons when a lot of dry waste is mixed.

7. SYSTEM FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY COMPACTING AND BAGGING, in accordance with the claim 1 and characterized by the fact that the bags can be moved and/or transported in a practical and safe manner with the help of a device especially developed for moving them and attached to a motorized crane or the like;

8. SYSTEM FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY COMPACTING AND BAGGING, in accordance with the claim 1 and characterized by the fact that the bags can be disposed of in a landfill in three different manners:

negative, when the layers of the bags are below the ground level, that is, they are absolutely buried;

positive, when the layers of the bags are placed on the ground upwards, that is, no bag is buried; and

semipositive, when one part of the bags is buried, and one part is above the ground level;

for example, in three layers of the bags, the first layer is under the ground and the other two are on the ground.
