Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1533045A1] A waste recycling assembly recovers wood and paper products for use as incinerator fuel. Waste products are transported by a conveyer belt under a halogen lamp where they are registered by a CCD camera coupled through a lens and spectrograph. The camera registers lines transverse to the direction of refuse travel. The camera registered selected wavelengths coinciding with the target products. The target residues are subsequently discharged by the belt into a sorting assembly operating on the basis of the wavelengths detected by the CCD camera. The lamp emits light in the wavelength from infrared to ultra-violet. Residues including plastics are separated into two fractions. Also claimed is a commensurate assembly with a CCD or NIR camera.
