Abstract

A system for sorting waste objects is disclosed. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the system includes at least one sorting unit, in which the sorting unit is connected to at least one sensor system that identifies the waste objects. The sensor system is arranged to detect one or more waste object characteristics and is also arranged to provide a control system with a signal when a waste object of a desired type is detected. The system also includes at least one sorting conveyor that conveys the waste objects to the sorting unit in which the sorting unit is provided with two or more sorting devices that sort the waste objects. The sorting devices of the present disclosure are arranged to receive at least one signal from the control system in response to a waste object of a desired type being detected by the sensor system.

In a method for the management of waste deposited in waste inlets and collected in under-ground waste containers (5) that are emptied by opening a wall section thereof as the container is in a raised emptying position by a collecting vehicle (20), waste inlets (2; 2'; 2'') are positioned at optional locations by detachably connecting spaced waste inlets to a designated waste container through waste suction piping (4) and by detachably connecting the container to a vacuum source (10) through separate air exhaust piping (9). The invention also concerns a waste collection and management system as well as an underground waste collection container.

Abstract

In a method of stowing waste (W) deposited into a vacuum operated waste collection system (101), wherein deposited waste is introduced through a waste infeed opening (105) in an infeed area (103) of a waste storage tank (102), is stored in a waste collection volume (104) of the tank, is emptied from the tank by vacuum applied to a lower discharge area (109) of the waste collection volume of the tank, assisted by the operation of an emptying screw (108) in a bottom area (106) of the waste collection volume during an emptying phase, and is periodically distributed in distribution sequences (DS) performed during periods outside said emptying phase; the bottom screw (108) is periodically activated at least in a direction for feeding waste in the waste collection volume (104) towards the discharge area (109; 209; 309) during the distribution sequences (DS) and packing and compression of waste in the discharge area during said distribution sequences is prevented by at least partly blocking a transition area between the collection volume of the tank (102) and the discharge area during optional distribution sequences.

Abstract

In waste transport piping of a waste collection sy stem that is sectioned and/or contains waste collection units communicating with the piping, branch pipes and/or waste collection units are connected to the piping through branching connections (10) and branching orifices in the waste transport pipe, for introducing waste into the transport pipe during an active phase of an associated branch pipe and/or waste collection unit. In such piping, substantially the full, uninterrupted circumferential surface of said transport pipe is completed in the area of the associated branch pipe or waste collection unit in an inactive phase of the latter. A branching connector (10) for performing such a completion of the transport pipe circumference has a connector valve (17) supported in the area of said orifice for movement between a transport position (TP) covering the orifice and a supply position (SP) exposing the orifice and at least partially blocking the cross section of the waste receiving transport pipe.

Abstract

In a method for managing waste, wherein waste deposited at several distributed deposit points (2) is transported in a primary transport pipe system (3) to a central waste storage tank (4) at a central waste collection station (5) by applying a primary vacuum air flow (PVA) from a stationary vacuum source (6) at the collection station, emptying of the central waste storage tank is performed by applying a secondary vacuum air flow (SVA) to the central storage tank from a mobile vacuum truck (10). The application also includes a system for transporting waste.

Abstract

Waste material that is introduced into waste inlet units (10) is managed by connecting the inlet units to a temporary storage volume (3) for charging said storage volume with the waste and by controlled, intermittent opening of the storage volume for the removal of accumulated waste therefrom. Specifically, waste is introduced into each inlet unit during an inlet charging phase; shaft charging vacuum (CV) is applied to the storage volume and is maintained continuously therein except when waste is removed from the storage volume; and said charging vacuum and atmospheric air (AA) is intermittently communicated to the inlet unit to charge the storage volume with the introduced waste.
