Abstract: A garbage separation apparatus (20) utilizes a vibrating conveyor (24) to form a thin layer of individual items in a stream of municipal waste (22). The individual items of municipal waste are then transferred to conveyor belts (26) in spaced apart relation. The conveyor belt passes the items of municipal waste under an array of infrared lamps (28). Immediately after being illuminated by the infrared lamps, the items of municipal waste are imaged by an infrared video system (30). The infrared video camera produces a video image wherein specific colors refer to a specific range of temperatures. The output of this video camera is processed to separate mono-temperature images which are processed so as to drive the actuation of individual vacuum grippers out of an array of vacuum grippers (38) placed over the conveyor belt transporting the items of municipal waste. The actuation commands derive from a particular thermal-image depicting a particular range of temperatures and are transmitted to a sequentially arranged adjacent array of vacuum grippers. Thus items of municipal waste may be separated based on their thermal properties.

Abstract: A dryer for drying material carried along and dried by hot gases including a hollow rotatable drying drum (10) with an inlet (15) and a discharge end, means (12, 13, 14) for driving the drum in rotation and a group of flights projecting into the gas flow stream to break up the material and retard the speed of flow of the material with the flowing gases with the flights arranged in one group at the outer periphery inside the drum and the other supported on a central axially extending shaft (18) and arranged on the ends of arms (19, 20) projecting radially from the shaft to provide satellite groups (40, 41) which are adjustable in a radial rotational and axial directions to change their location relative to the gas flow.
