Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for comminuting solids according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a device for carrying out the method.
  • Such devices are used, for example, in recycling plants for material recovery, in which e.g. Scrap is crushed and separated.
  • the device has a grinder in which the supplied material is crushed.
  • the resulting dust and light, insofar airworthy substances are fed via a connected to the grinder first supply line a solids separator, in particular a cyclone, in which by centrifugal separation, the supplied laden air is freed of coarse dust and waste.
  • the separated material collects in a lower so-called calming funnel and is continuously discharged by a rotary valve into a subordinate container or onto a conveyor belt.
  • the pre-cleaned in the cyclone air is then passed through a second supply line in a dust removal device, such as a wet dust extractor or dry filter and cleaned there.
  • a dust removal device such as a wet dust extractor or dry filter
  • the fine dust content in the air is washed out to a minimum residual content.
  • a device that cleans the wash water and returns it to the spray system of the wet deduster.
  • the known method is possible only with a large amount of air flow, in particular to suck the laden air from the grinder and feed the solids.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a method and a device of the generic type so that a cheaper and more efficient operation is possible.
  • the dedusting device for example, the wet dust extractor already described in the prior art or alternatively dry filter, can be made smaller, which naturally results in lower acquisition costs.
  • the operating costs are significantly reduced, since the supplied reduced air flow is to be cleaned with less energy input.
  • the return line must be branched off in front of the dedusting device with respect to the grinder, this branch preferably being provided between the solids separator and the dedusting device.
  • a suction fan is integrated, with which the air flow to be returned is sucked out of the leading to the dedusting second supply line.
  • the return line opens, for example, in a scrap inlet of the grinder or in certain, particularly suitable areas, for example, the open suction of the grinder.
  • the single FIGURE shows a device according to the invention in a schematic representation.
  • Shown schematically in the figure is the construction of a device for comminuting solids.
  • This consists of a grinder 1, in which the supplied solid, such as scrap, is crushed into pieces.
  • the resulting dust as well as light, absorbable substances are sucked out of the grinder 1 and fed via a first supply line 6 a solids separator 2, preferably a cyclone, and separated there.
  • the deposited from the airborne air material is collected in a so-called calming funnel and discharged by a rotary valve.
  • the extent pre-cleaned air is supplied in the sequence via a second supply line 7 of a dedusting device 3, for example, a wet dust extractor or dry filters.
  • a dedusting device for example, a wet dust extractor or dry filters.
  • a return line 9 is connected to the second supply line 7, before the dedusting device 3, according to the invention, which opens into the grinder 1 and over which part of the dust-laden, guided in the second supply line 7 air is fed back to the grinder 1.
  • a suction fan 10 is integrated in the return line 9, with which the named part-air flow is sucked out of the second supply line 7.
  • dedusting device 3 is designed as a wet deduster, the washing water is cleaned and fed back into the spray system in the circuit.
  • the virtually final cleaned air is fed via an exhaust duct 8 by means of a dedusting device 3 downstream exhaust fan 4 a chimney 5, from where it escapes into the environment.
