System for final disposal of waste by compaction and bagging

Abstract

S YSTEM 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.

1 . S YSTEM 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  3   a ) 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  5   a ) 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/cm 2 ) 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 . S YSTEM 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 ,  5   a , or  18 ) that receive the organic waste material (with no economic value) from the selection conveyor belts ( 15 ). 
     
     
         3 . S YSTEM 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 . S YSTEM 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 . S YSTEM 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 . S YSTEM 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 . S YSTEM 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 . S YSTEM 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.
