. . 1. Anteriority of the Invention There are a multitude of patents and patent applications on the techniques of separation of fine matter from a mass of particles or classificafron of the fine materials with air in the environmental or other field. . In more Improvement: ions effected on various technologies where fuzzy these patents are connected directly to particles, these systems are generally installed outside the processes and use a large volume of air to separate and to suck particle:>.
The primary purpose of the present invention was to develop a technology allowing to separate the fine particulate matter contained in aggregates. Whose principle would be based on the drive and the dilutions of the mass of aggregates; at the point of drive. To separate fine particles the drive air is about 40 times more effective than anger. Existing systems of capture and separation have one; efficiency generally ranging from 3 to 15 ° / o compared to a higher beaucup efficiency for our gravitational system of dilution of mass ei; of air impulse. Our system quantitatively treats a large scale of particulates and allows their classification according to their granulometry respectively.
This system is installed at the source either at the point of treatment, transfer, of capture or ch ~ .rte or any other points of the process itself.
Classifiers g ° avitative, classifiers with inertia, classifiers to centrifugals and cyclonic separators are known technologies and Approved: es.
Gravitational separation by elutriation is a process of separation by washing with air that are most of the fine materials coarse by introduction of the particles into a stream of air which raises the particles fine against force this gravity and these particles are collected at the level superior of equipment. Coarse particles fall with the force of gravity against the air flow and are collected at the lower level. The dimensions of fine particles removed, can be adjusted by (increasing or decreasing the velocity air da ~ 5 the system. This type of separation is rarely used alone, without system, but often used in the pre-separation step.
Other methods involve systems that operate with centrifugal action where the air flow rotates in a circular motion towards the center. The particles coarse ~ s are thrown outward and are removed while the fine materials are pulled towards the inside of the system towards the exit.

8. Request for accurate brew ~ st of disclosure The equipment is a case made of metal or plastic or composite resistant to wear and Corrosion provides skips with baffles to distribute products to to treat in boxes; of drop with, mass deviators to allow to treat in part or all of the volume. , Subsequently, this ma ~ ~ falls' in dropping boxes over a distance to determine according to the desired mass düuéa. During the fall this mass can be broken or deflected by adding one or more mass deflectors. When the mass has reached the dilution for the desired treatment there is one or more injectors under pressure to treat this mass. Coarse processed materials continue their, run in the drop box and are eliminated at the exit of the device and retoumëes in the trenches or elsewhere.
Ejected materials; injectors are collected in boxes EQ
which allow the settling of granular or other ejected materials.
The equalizer may contain pressure systems that allow Contents volatiles that can not be decanted from being pushed out and sucked into of the adjoining ventilation chambers for volatile materials. Products recovered and decanted can be removed or returned to the process directly.
The equipment is a metal case which can be manufactured in any other materials resistant to wear and / or corrosion, it is equipped with reception and transfer: with deflectors for pre-expansion to 3x of the original mass some products treat. Subsequently the material is conveyed to the dilution box of the mass that is provided with a blower ~ under pressure for a dilution of the order of 10x and more, by ia Following all this mas: ~ e containing all the materials fall in the box of fall on a distance of about 1 meter to the desired diluted mass of about 1'00x, at this morr ~ ent, we inject ~ years a fluid under pressure using kickers allowing to treat the mass, (however the dilution can be greater if we let's enlarge dilution box and if we increase the drop distance), the mass processed allows ejected: towards the outside of the drop box, the products we want to separate from the mass. while at the same time, the original mass continues her race in the vile box dilution. The products are therefore separated one from the other is are routed directly into separate receptacles. The products obtained can to be reused in the production line or used as such or mixed to others products.
The materials thus ejected are recovered in a receptacle which allows the decanting granular materials in a secondary separator that separates the.
materials according to their geometry. We add minimal ventilation to suck the fine materials nori decantable.

9. Precise example of how Techno-Crav ® works See Figure 1 and glossary that represents the TECHNO-GRAV ® for the description of each part of (equipment.
The unconsolidated mass falls from a conveyor or other equipment to the Techno Grav MD (Fig. I) and falls on the receiving plate (A ~ which directs them to the skip C).
The body directs the mass to a restriction of 102 mm x 200 mm.
9.1 Dilution of the mass of aggregates To dilute horizontally and vertically the falling mass and for increase the surface of contact, he, ~ a, before the restriction of the bucket, a deflector interchangeable (D) and injecting the air sbus pressure through the slit (E) into the box dilution (F) where the mass falls. Air injection pushes the material in all directions interior of the box (F) and lec ~ distributes horizontally. For example: (if (thickness of particle mass is 10 mm on the conveyor, the thickness will be around mm which represents: a dilution of t 10 times (See Figure 5 drawing # 600-70-PD1 dilution process).
Aggregates continue to fall and accelerate in the dilution box.
There is then a significant vertical dilution thanks to the principle of falling acceleration free. By For example, at 1000 mr <i free fall, the rate of fall of the aggregates will be 4.4 mls As a result, the speed of the conveyor is 0.5 ml.
vertical dilution will be approximately 10 times (see Figure 5).
The mass is therefore about 100 times as soon as it arrives at the first party.
injection fluid with respect to its etaf on the 7x conveyor.
9.21 Air insertion under pressure The injection buses are installed at each slot of the equipment such illustrated in Figure 1. I-igure 2 (600-70-0503 BIA-01) represents the nozzle (invented) and the details with fins inside that allow the distribution uniform of air on the whole surface. The opening of the slot is variable depending on the flow and the pressure used.
Ru dilution point rises in mass, fluid under pressure (0 to 15 psi, book by square inch see more) is injected at low volume (about 100 to 800 CFM
Cube foot per minute) per nozzle nozzle to dislodge fine particles (up to 650 Nm in diameter) and transport them outside the dilution box. The final product continues to fall in the dilution box and is collected materials undesirable. The injection force to be thrown the nozzles into the dilution box determines the granulometry particles removed ~ and the percentage of efficiency of the equipment.
