END MATERIAL RECOVERY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18333779 titled 'END MATERIAL RECOVERY APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an end material recovery apparatus that includes cages with mesh-like or porous surfaces to collect end materials mixed with liquid, a rotation drive mechanism to rotate the cages downward, and recovery containers to collect the dropped end materials.
- The apparatus includes cages with mesh-like or porous surfaces to collect end materials mixed with liquid.
- A rotation drive mechanism individually rotates the cages in a downward direction.
- Recovery containers are used to collect the end materials dropped by the rotating cages.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in waste management facilities, recycling plants, and industrial processes where the separation and recovery of materials from liquid mixtures are required.
Problems Solved
The technology solves the problem of efficiently recovering end materials from liquid mixtures, reducing waste, and improving the overall recycling process.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency in material recovery, reduced environmental impact, and improved resource utilization.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be commercially applied in recycling facilities, waste treatment plants, and manufacturing industries to enhance material recovery processes.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of centrifugal separators in industrial processes for liquid-solid separation. However, the specific design and functionality of the end material recovery apparatus described in the patent application may offer unique advantages in certain applications.
Unanswered Questions
How does the rotation drive mechanism ensure uniform collection of end materials in each cage?
The patent application does not provide detailed information on how the rotation drive mechanism maintains consistency in collecting end materials across all cages.
What is the maintenance and cleaning process for the cages and recovery containers?
The patent application does not address the maintenance and cleaning procedures required for the cages and recovery containers to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
An end material recovery apparatus includes a plurality of cages each in which an upper portion is opened, the plurality of cages each having at least one surface formed of at least one of a mesh-like surface and a porous surface, the plurality of cages being configured to receive a mixed liquid in which an end material is mixed with a liquid from the upper portion, collect at least a part of the end material in the mixed liquid, and discharge the liquid from the at least one surface; a rotation drive mechanism configured to individually rotate the plurality of cages in a direction in which the upper portion faces downward; and a plurality of recovery containers configured to recover the end material dropped by individually rotating the plurality of cages in the direction in which the upper portion faces downward.
