Have sex. The capacity of such a waste oil recovery container 11 is 500 ml for household use used for recovering used cooking oil such as tempura oil, and for recovering engine oil after replacement, etc. When it is used for commercial use, it is possible to store and recover about 2 to 5 liters.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a manufacturing process of the waste oil absorber 10 shown in FIG. The waste oil absorber 1
As shown in FIG. 2 (1), 0 is a mat 13 made of an oil permeable material such as non-woven fabric such as tissue, and a thin absorbent material 14 mainly made of cotton-like pulp obtained by crushing milk cartons or waste corrugated paper The flat sheet is laminated, and the partition sheet 15 smaller than the mat 13 is mounted on the absorbent material 14 to form a laminated body 16. The partition sheet 15 is made of the same material as the mat 13.

The laminated body 16 thus formed is
As shown in FIG. 2 (2), the mat 13 has a perforation 1 with many fine cracks formed by folding it in three to form a triple structure.
7 is formed. This perforation 17 is, for example, 10c
It has been confirmed by the present inventor that the absorption efficiency is high when formed in a unit area of m × 10 cm with a pitch of about 2 to 10 mm and a total length of about 5 to 200 cm. Also, instead of perforations, it is possible to form circular cracks with fine needle-shaped ones, and in any case, it is important to form only cracks without opening them. It is possible to prevent the fine paper powder of the material 14 from scattering to the outside and to improve the absorption rate by the action of the capillary phenomenon or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2C, the three-fold laminated body 16 thus formed is covered with the outer covering sheet 30 made of an oil permeable material to form the waste oil absorber 10. It Both sides 18 of the outer packaging sheet 30,
19 and the both ends in the circumferential direction are double-sealed (see FIG. 1) by thermocompression bonding, and a perforation 21 similar to the perforation 17 of the mat 13 shown in FIG.
Is formed. The mat 13 and the outer cover sheet 30 may be made of, for example, tissue.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a step of inserting the waste oil absorber 10 into the bag-shaped body 12. As shown in FIG. 3A, the three waste oil absorbers 10 described above are arranged immediately in front of the pusher 24 having the plurality of elongated conical needles 23, and the pusher 24 advances in the arrow A direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3B, each waste oil absorber 1
3 is dropped into the bag-shaped body 12 while piercing 0, and the pusher 24 retracts in the arrow B direction together with the needle 23 as shown in FIG. Each waste oil absorber 10 in the bag 12 has
By the needles 23, a narrow conical space 25 corresponding to the shape of each needle 23 is formed in the absorbent material 14, and
Only the crack 26 is formed in the outer covering sheet 30 without opening. The space 25 has a length of about 10 to 20 mm and a diameter of about 2 to 3 mm.

In this way, when each waste oil absorber 10 is pushed into the bag-shaped body 12, a space 25 and a crack 26 are formed in each waste oil absorber 10, so that these spaces 25 and cracks 26 are formed. The waste oil flowing into the bag-shaped body 12 through the opening can be penetrated into the bag-shaped body 12 at a high absorption rate, and the three-folded structure accommodated inside the bag-shaped body 12 can be absorbed. From the laminated body 16 of the absorber 14
It is possible to reliably prevent the fine paper powder of the above from being scattered to the outside.

Incidentally, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the outer packaging sheet 30.
Although both ends 20 (see FIG. 1) of the above are sealed by thermocompression bonding, as another embodiment of the present invention, regions which are not subjected to thermocompression bonding are formed at both ends 20 to function as cracks. You may do it.

As another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of waste oil absorbers 10 are provided in a bag 12.
Alternatively, the space 27 and the crack 28 may be formed by stacking the needles 23 with the needle 23 attached to the pusher 24 from above.

Further, as another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, a laminated body 29, which is folded in three and is larger than that in the above-mentioned embodiment, is further folded in two and the bag-like body 12 is formed.
It may be housed inside.

As another embodiment of the present invention, an oil absorbent may be mixed in the absorbent material 14,
In addition, the waste oil absorber 10 becomes saturated and the bag-shaped body 1
A gelling agent for gelling the oil accumulated in 2 may be contained in the bottom of the bag 12.

Further, as another embodiment of the present invention, the absorbent material 14 may be directly housed and sealed in the outer cover sheet 30. In this way, even if the absorbent material 14 is directly accommodated in the outer packaging sheet 30, the perforation 21 that does not open causes
It is possible to prevent the fine paper powder of the absorbent material 14 from being scattered to the outside while improving the absorption rate of the waste oil.

[0020]

According to the present invention, the absorbent material 14 made of cotton-like pulp is thinly laminated in a mat shape, and the absorbent material 14 is folded with the mat 13 on the outside and the absorbent material 14 on the inside. Occasionally, the absorbent material 14 does not fall apart. If the sheet 13 is folded inside and the absorbent material 14 is folded outside,
The absorbent material 14 on the outside of the mat 14 is separated from the mat 13, and it is difficult to form the laminated body 16. The present invention solves such a problem and improves productivity. In this way, the absorbent material 14 with a uniform thickness is provided on the mat 13.
Can be arranged, which allows good and rapid absorption of oil. Further, according to the present invention, since the laminated body is housed in the tubular outer casing sheet 30 having oil permeability to cover the whole, the waste oil is generated in the longitudinal direction of the outer casing sheet 30, that is, in the thickness direction. Capillary phenomenon is introduced, and further, the mat 13 is penetrated in the thickness direction by capillarity phenomenon, absorbed by the absorbent material 14, and oil is retained by the absorbent material 14. Thus, by the absorber 10,
The effect that the oil easily spreads in the lateral direction of the absorber 10 is achieved. Therefore, the outer packaging sheet 30 is
Helps improve oil absorption rate. Further, according to the present invention, a plurality of absorbers 10 are stored in the bag-shaped body 12 so as to be polymerized side by side in the thickness direction thereof. Therefore, for example, one absorbent body 10 is removed from the bag-shaped body 12 prior to waste oil. It is taken out in advance, then, the waste oil of the cooking pot is put into the bag-shaped body 12, and then the pot is wiped clean by using the absorber 10 taken out in advance as described above, and then, The soiled absorber 10 is put in the bag-shaped body 12 to absorb the oil in the bag-shaped body 12. If the laminated body 16 has a structure not housed in the outer covering sheet 30, it is difficult to take out one of the plural laminated bodies 16 in the bag-shaped body 12, and if so, If so, the absorbent material 14 will fall apart, and
Even if the container can be taken out, the absorbent material 14 scatters to the periphery when the pot or the like is wiped, and the surroundings are soiled. The present invention solves such a problem.
