Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fibre processing mill.
  • the present invention relates to a mill for separating and treating fibre and rubber in a tyre recycling process.
  • the invention may be used to process other materials.
  • Tyres generally end up being discarded as landfill on account of the difficulty presented in processing the used tyres into usable by-products.
  • Tyres are generally made of rubber, fibre and steel. The steel can be sold as scrap metal, and the vulcanised rubber can be used in a number of different industries.
  • the fibre is typically considered an unwanted by-product of the tyre recycling operation. Accordingly, the fibre is generally discarded at a significant expense to the recycling plant operator.
  • a further problem with existing tyre recycling processes is that sufficient separation of the vulcanised rubber and the fibre is generally difficult to achieve. Accordingly, it is common that the final processed vulcanised rubber product still contains a significant percentage of fibre, which may reduce the quality of the recycled rubber product.
  • a further disadvantage of existing fibre separation systems is that the resulting fibre is typically not released from the vulcanised rubber in a form which is readily usable in other manufacturing processes. Accordingly, the fibre is generally discarded.
  • the present invention provides a mill comprising: a housing; a rotor mounted within said housing and having a first disc mounted at a first end and a second disc mounted at an opposing second end, said rotor being rotatable on a shaft about a rotation axis extending between said first and second ends, said rotor having an inlet located at one or both of said first and second ends, which permits access to a cavity located between said first and second discs; one or more flails having a proximal end pivotally mounted to a radially outer portion of said rotor, and a distal free end, said flail having a flail axis extending between said proximal and distal ends, and a perforated screen mounted to said housing adjacent to said rotor, wherein a clearance is present between said screen and the distal end of said flail.
  • the distal end of the flail preferably has a serrated profile which terminates at a tip.
  • the rotor preferably includes a guide channel extending between the discs parallel to the rotation axis, and the guide channel limits an angle through which the flail is permitted to pivot.
  • the rotor preferably includes a plurality of secondary discs spaced along the rotation axis between the first and second discs, and supported on the shaft, and the guide channel is secured to a V-shaped groove formed in a circumferential region of each disc.
  • the guide channel preferably limits a range of pivoting of the flail to about 90 degrees.
  • the inlet is preferably defined by a plurality of apertures located on a common pitch circle diameter on one of the first and second discs.
  • the mill preferably includes six guide channels evenly radially spaced around the circumference of the discs.
  • a clearance between the screen and the distal end of the flail is preferably at least about 5mm.
  • the screen preferably has an arcuate profile which extends parallel to the rotation axis.
  • the screen is preferably co-axial with the rotor.
  • the screen arcuate profile preferably extends through about 180°.
  • the present invention provides a method of processing a fibre and rubber composite with a mill, said mill including a rotor mounted within a housing and having a first disc mounted at a first end and a second disc mounted at an opposing second end, said rotor having a cavity located between said first and second discs, and said rotor being rotatable on a shaft about a rotation axis extending between said first and second ends, said rotor having an inlet located at one or both of said first and second ends, said mill including one or more flails having a proximal end pivotally mounted to a radially outer portion of said rotor, and a distal free end, said mill also including a perforated screen mounted to said housing adjacent to said rotor; said method including the steps of: inserting said composite into said inlet, such that said composite enters said cavity; rotating the rotor about said rotation axis, to centrifugally drive the distal end of said flail radially outwardly; directing said composite
  • the method preferably includes the step of providing a negative pressure in the discharge chamber to assist in drawing the processed fibre and rubber through the perforations.
  • the method preferably includes the step of rotating the rotor at about 960 revolutions per minute.

  • the cover 26 is made of sheet metal supported on a structural frame and is mounted to the base frame 24 with a hinge 28 which permits the cover 26 to be pivotally opened when required for maintenance or inspection purposes.
  • the cover 26 is also connected to the base frame 24 with a pneumatic cylinder 30 which regulates the speed of opening and lowering of the cover 26, ensuring that the cover 26 does not fall excessively quickly during closing.
  • the base frame 24 includes one or more inspection doors 32, which permit an operator to inspect the interior mechanisms of the mill 20 if required.
  • the mill 20 includes a rotor 50.

  • the rotor 50 is rotatable about a shaft 56 on a rotation axis XX extending between the first and second ends 52, 54.
  • the shaft 56 is mounted to the base frame 24 on a bronze bush.
  • the rotor 50 includes a plurality of discs 58 which are spaced along the rotation axis XX, and each of the discs 58 is supported by the shaft 56.
  • the rotor 50 includes guide channels 70 which are secured to V-shaped grooves formed in the circumferences of each of the discs 58.
  • the guide channels 70 are formed from sections of steel angle, which serve to reinforce the rotor 50, by providing lateral stability to each disc 58, and increase the overall rigidity of the rotor 50.
  • the guide channels 70 are welded to
  • the rotor 50 has one or more inlets 80 located at one or both of the first and second ends 52, 54.
  • the inlets 80 are defined by a plurality of apertures located on a common pitch circle diameter on a central hub 82 secured to the shaft 56.

  • the two hubs 82 which are located at either end 52, 54 of the rotor 50 are reinforced with stiffening ribs 84.
  • Fig. 9 shows a flail 100 which has a proximal end 102 which is pivotally mounted with a screw, pin or other suitable fastener to a radially outer portion of the rotor 50.
  • the flail 100 has a distal, free end 104, and a flail axis YY extends between the proximal and distal ends 102, 104.
  • the flails 100 are pivotally mounted around the circumference of the rotor 50, within the channels 70.
  • the mounting of one flail 100 within the channel 70 is shown in Fig. 10.
  • the channel 70 includes two arms 72 projecting at approximately 90° relative to each other. Accordingly, the flail 100 is restricted to pivot through a range of motion of approximately 90°.
  • Fig. 11 shows an end view of the channel 70 at the flail 100 mounting location.
  • the channel 70 has a triangular steel web 74 welded to it, and the web 74 has a hole formed in it which receives a flail 100 fastener.
  • the flails 100 have a stepping profile including two or more steps or serrations 106 which terminate at a cutting tip 108.
  • Fig. 8 shows an end view of the rotor 50 when stationary.
  • the flails 100 When stationary, the flails 100 each tend to hang downwardly under the influence of gravity. However, when the rotor 50 is rotating at a sufficiently high rotational speed, the flails 100 extend outwardly under centrifugal force, such that the flail axis YY of each flail 100 extends generally perpendicular to the circumference of the rotor 50.
  • the mill 20 includes a perforated screen 120 which is manufactured from 6mm steel and is mounted adjacent to the rotor 50. The size of the perforations is approximately 9mm. The perforations are plasma cut through the screen. There is a clearance between the screen 120 and the distal end 104 of the flails 100.
  • the clearance is approximately 5mm between the cutting tip 108 and the screen 120.
  • the screen 120 has an arcuate surface which is co-axial with the rotor 50. Accordingly the clearance is generally constant around the radius of the screen.
  • the screen 120 is generally semi-circular in profile, such that the screen 120 extends around the lower half of the circumference of the rotor 50.
  • the mill 20 includes a discharge chamber 130 located in the housing 22 beneath the screen 120.
  • the walls of the discharge chamber 130 slope downwardly and inwardly, such that any material that passes through the perforations in the screen 120 is directed to a central collection area 132.
  • a fibre and vulcanised crumb rubber composite produced from tyre shredding is blown, or otherwise introduced by force through an inlet conduit toward the inlet 80, during rotation of the rotor 50.
  • the rotor 50 is typically operated at a speed of approximately 960 RPM.
  • the hub 82 also turns, and the crumb rubber and fibre composite passes through the inlet apertures 80 in the hub 82, into the centre of the rotor 50.
  • the high rotation speed of the rotor 50 causes the discs 58 to act as impellers, which assist to fan the composite material outwardly.
  • the composite material is directed either upwardly into the space 90 between the rotor 50 and the outer cover 26, or downwardly to the clearance between the flails 100 and the screen 120. In the clearance, the majority of the composite particles are initially too large to fit through the perforations. However, the rotating flails 100 impact with the composite material, and this impact force assists to separate the fibre from the rubber. Given that the there are many flails 100 mounted both radially and longitudinally around the circumference of the rotor 50, the composite material is impacted by many flails 100 in a given period of time.
  • Fibre is initially contained in the shredded tyre as pieces of fibre cloth, or woven material which is bonded to the vulcanised rubber.
  • the size of the composite shreds become smaller, and the fibre pieces are liberated from the vulcanised rubber as separate, non-woven strands.
  • the serrations on the flails 100 assist in separating the fibre cloth or woven material and tearing it into separate strands.
  • the high rotation speed of the rotor 50 generates static electricity. The presence of the static electricity assists in gathering the fibre strands in clusters similar to cotton wool in overall texture, and the fibre strands are at this stage substantially separated from the vulcanised rubber.
  • the processed rubber has a reduced size and is permitted to pass through the perforations in the screen 120 into the discharge chamber 130.
  • a negative pressure is applied to the outlet of the discharge chamber 130 which assists the liberated fluffy fibre to be sucked through the perforations in the screen 120 into the discharge chamber 130.
  • An advantage of the mill 20 is that the fibre is liberated from the rubber in a form that is readily used as a filler in plastics recycling.
  • the flails 100 are easy to remove for maintenance or replacement.
