Disclosed is a bladed grinder (20) for plaster waste, comprising a frame (10) comprising a support for a rotating shaft, comprising a main rotating shaft (30) comprising a plurality of vanes (40) radially attached on the main rotating shaft (30), comprising a system for rotating the main rotating shaft (30), comprising at least one inlet opening (60) for introducing waste comprising plaster, comprising at least one outlet opening for recovering large size waste, comprising, in the lower portion, openings covered with separation grids for filtering the defragmented gypsum, comprising a partially cylindrical cover which covers a continuous surface, characterised in that the cover is divided into at least two removable cover sections (50).

Non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising: obtaining asphalt shingle waste (ASW) and performing grinding, screening, and separating steps on the ASW. In some embodiments, granules are removed from the ASW. In some embodiments, the method transforms ASW into ASW powder. In some embodiments, the ASW powder is formed into a plurality of briquettes. In some embodiments, at least one of: the ASW powder, the plurality of briquettes, or any combination thereof is fed into a mixing process that results in an ASW powder filled coating.

A method and apparatus for recovering fibres from fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials uses a thermomechanical process to produce high quality recovered fibres and powdered polymer resin. The thermo- (cryo-) mechanical process uses a combination of a selected range of temperatures and mechanical force, and is chemical and solvent-free, and produces zero waste. Fibre length remains unchanged after processing and mechanical properties of the recovered fibres are comparable to or better than those of virgin fibres. The recovered fibres and powdered polymer resin may be used to make new FRP products.

A system for refining waste and other mixed material streams including a receptacle for receiving an input stream and a drill separating material from the input stream and outputting a processed stream. An incinerator incinerating the processed stream and outputting an incinerated stream. A mill grinding the incinerated stream and outputting a milled stream. A screen having screen holes filtering the milled stream and outputting a screened stream having particle sizes smaller than the screen holes. A mesh having holes smaller than the screen holes filtering the screened stream and outputting a meshed stream. A magnetic device removing magnetic particles from the meshed stream outputting a non-magnetic stream. A density separator receiving the non-magnetic stream and outputting a first output, a second output having a greater density than the first output, and a third output having a greater density than the second output.

A carpet recycling method is disclosed. In a toroidal flow pulper, pieces of carpet are disintegrated in a quantity of liquid to form a slurry of fibrous carpet materials and carpet ash. At least a portion of the fibrous carpet materials are separated from the slurry, and the separated fibrous carpet materials are dried. At least a portion of the carpet ash is isolated from the slurry, and the isolated carpet ash is dried. Thus, a first output comprising dried separated fibrous carpet materials is produced, and a second output comprising dried carpet ash is produced.

In some embodiments, the ASW powder is formed into an adhesive composition.

A silicon rod crushing method relatively moves an application position of high-voltage pulse discharge to a silicon rod in a longitudinal direction thereof while rotating the silicon rod to thereby crush the silicon rod.

A combination grinder and filling apparatus for plant material used to deposit small particles of plant material into a pre-formed cone. The apparatus includes a rotating end cap mounted over a grinder body. Formed on the grinder body is a filling cavity in which bulk plant material is placed. Formed in the end cap or grinder body are knives that cut the plant material when the end cap is placed on the grinder body and rotated. Located under the grinder body is a collection plate with holes that allow small particles to fall into a conical-shaped receiving cavity formed on a connection body. Attached to the collection body is a lower end cap with a lower bore in which the lower neck of the collection body extends. Pressing arms located on the lower end cap automatically press against a pre-rolled cone extended around the lower neck. A plunger extends through the apparatus to pack mall plant material into the pre-rolled cone. An agitator coupled to the plunger is positioned in the receiving cavity and used to break away small plant particles.

A device and a method for preparing adipose tissue for transplantation from lobular fat extracted, for instance by liposuction, the fat including a fluid component that have an oily component, a blood component and/or sterile solutions, and a solid component including cell fragments, cells and one or more cell macroagglomerates of heterogeneous size, wherein the device includes at least one washing and separating container having a washing chamber, the container has an inlet and an outlet for the liposuctioned material to enter the washing chamber through the inlet and for at least part of the material to exit the washing chamber through the outlet, the washing chamber including stirring means for forming an emulsion of fluid components.
