Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0588150A1] The procedure to recover solid waste is finalized in particular at selectively recycling the waste. The waste, which has already been pre-treated by removing small pieces and lightweight and ferromagnetic materials, is taken onto a continuous conveyor so it is spread out. The waste on the belt is then visually checked to supply information about the quality of the waste and its relative position on the belt. This information is then fed into a computerized tracking control system which uses it to selectively pilot robotized waste-removal stations, each one specialised to act on a specific type of waste (fig. 1). There will be an installation to put the procedure into effect. <IMAGE>
