Robot automatic feeder for cutting and other recycling machines.
The patented "Robot" loader-feeder is designed to take large bales and/or boxes as well as material in bulk form and feed the material to a waiting downstream equipment such as a cutting machine.
Its operation is fully automatic, consistent, adjustable and continuous.
Processed material may consist of fibers, tangled yarns, rags, carpets, plastic films, tows, non-wovens, and more.
Model: Robot+CT60.
Design
The Robot consists of a loading platform, feed hopper, extracting and stretching system, and cutting system.
Loading platform: a large size hydraulically controlled plate (2,330 mm x 1,880 mm / 7'-8'' x 6'-2'') for raising up to 1,000 kg (2,000 lbs) to enable hands-free automated loading of the feed hopper.
Feed hopper: a standard capacity hopper of 4 m³ (± 138 ft³) - option ± 6 m³ (± 207 ft³) - for receiving several bales simultaneously to promote a continuous and consistent feed and to allow for mixing.
Extracting and stretching system: four bars equipped with teeth made from a special steel, with a thrust of up to 3 tons (6,000 lbs) per bar, are guided by roller bearings. Their alternating to-and-fro and adjustable travel is hydraulically controlled.
Cutting system: the oscillating movement of a cutting blade with carbide or tool steel segments regulates the thickness of the materials that flow from the hopper outlet. The material thickness is adjusted by means of a device equipped with a gear motor.
Operation-Use
Having placed the bale on the loading platform, the operator removes the straps and the bale’s top wrapping if necessary.
When the control button is pressed, the bale is raised and dumped into the feed hopper.
The lower wrap is firmly gripped by a device (as an option) throughout the cycle until the platform returns to the rest position.
At the same time, the extraction bars driven by an alternating and regular to-and-fro movement carry the material to the hopper opening.
At the opening, an awaiting oscillating blade controls the material thickness for feeding the cutting machine or an awaiting piece of equipment.
All functions, except the removal of the wrapping and straps while the bale is on the platform, are automatic.
Components
The machine is entirely constructed of welded steel.
Parts are mass produced using the most sophisticated equipment and have been designed to ensure a high degree of mechanical component standardization and easy interchangeability of all parts.
Hydraulic jacks are made of special steel with chromed piston rods.
Rotating movements are mounted on ball or roller bearings.
Basic framework of extremely rigid steel profiles is mounted via hydraulic jacks on retractable wheels. Securing the Robot to the floor is not required provided the machine can be located on a suitable concrete base.
Easily accessible central hydraulic unit.
Easy to Maintain and Operate
Instantaneous bar speed adjustment in operating or standby modes by means of a hydraulic control lever.
Quick and easy to clean.
Material layer thickness is adjustable by simply pushing on a control button.
Electrical connectivity is possible to one or two Pierret cutting machines for automatic control of the cutting line.
Connectivity is possible to other equipment for automatic and controlled feeding.
