How a complete cycle takes place
The process of splitting, waste collection and positioning on pallets is entirely automatic. The belt at the entrance has a total length of 4,950 mm (three motorised modules of 1,650 mm), width of 1,200 and speed of 100 mm/sec. It allows up to 3 pallets to be placed and positioned below the loading gripper. The operators must only place a pallet of blocks at any point on the roller unit: the sensors detect it and activate the rollers and the pallet is taken to the gripper loading area. The grippers pick up a row of blocks and deposit it at the entrance towards the main splitting machine, model TS 120/40, with splitting strength of 120 tonnes.
The loading bench is 1,200 x 2,200 mm. The pusher pushes the blocks up to the splitting machine: through two lateral guides that can be manually adjusted, with minimum width of 300 mm and maximum of 1,250, they are placed between the blades.
The TS 120/40 splitting machine uses four splitting blades – an upper blade, a lower blade and two lateral ones – a very important element that Techno Split supplies on all its machines. Hence the block is split at the same time on all its sides, obtaining high quality.
The split blocks are pushed onto the 1,300 x 800 mm unloading bench, where there is a separable slat conveyor which opens up to allow the evacuation of the waste from the first splitting.
Hence, the deposits fall onto an 8,000 x 600 mm conveyor belt. This runs along the system and deposits them in the collection container, which must be specially prepared.
The second splitting machine is the model TS 60/28, with a pressure of 60 tonnes, a double frame, and which splits in an upwards direction. The loading bench is 1,600 x 600 mm (1,200 mm useful length for the rows), also with two manually adjustable guides for positioning the blocks under the splitting machine correctly. As for the main splitting machine, this also splits the block in an upwards direction and has two lateral blades.
The 800 x 600 mm unloading bench can transport the blocks to the subsequent position and also open up to let the deposits fall through. In this case, a 1,500 x 400 mm rubber belt, takes the residuals to the main conveyor, which deposits them in the collection container.
The row of blocks at the exit is transported to a pre-established stopping point, where a mechanical check guarantees that the blocks are centred.
At this point the blocks have finished their cycle: they continue to the unloading area, where the gripper picks them up and positions them automatically on the pallet. The unloading conveyor, which has the same characteristics as the loading conveyor, makes them available to the operators. Job finished and ready for packing, all in a few minutes!
