Abstract
A method for processing scrap material such as used carpet for recycling includes a coupling operation to couple sections of scrap textile together to form a length of scrap textile 200. A preferably substantially continuous length of scrap textile undergoes a cleaning operation for removing or dislodging dirt or debris from the scrap textile. The cleaning operation is carried out after the coupling operation. The coupling operation may occur remote from the cleaning operation wherein the length of textile is arranged to extend between the coupling location and the cleaning location. The textile may be allowed to accumulate in a buffer zone 150 in a relaxed state, prior to the cleaning operation. Once cleaned, the length of textile may be arranged in rolls ready for transportation to a recycling location. The apparatus 100 comprises a coupling zone 130, inspection zones 140 and 170, the buffer zone 150 and a cleaning zone 160.
Description
Method and Apparatus for processing textile material The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for processing material, more particularly, but not exclusively, to methods and apparatus for preparing used textile for recycling.
The exhibition industry is responsible for generating large volumes of waste carpet.
For example, it is typical for an exhibition hail to be fitted out with carpet for the purpose of a single exhibition, and for the carpet to be removed after the exhibition.
Typically, the removed carpet will be scrapped and sent to landfill. However, given the large volumes of material involved and the need to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill, it is sensible to try to recycle the scrapped carpet. S...
*.. 15 S. I *::* Carpet typically consists of a face fibre and a backing layer. The material used for the face fibres include polypropylene and polyester, and such materials can be readily S.....
recycled due to their thermoplastic properties. This involves chopping the carpet into small sections and melting down the carpet fibres to produce plastic pellets. However, the quality of the resultant product is dependent on the quality of the carpet to be * processed and therefore it is desirable to clean the carpet before the fibres are melted *SSS down.
Conventional carpet recycling techniques involve manually cleaning the carpet with a vacuum cleaner before it is broken down into pellets. However, this is a laborious process, particularly since the scrapped carpet typically consists of multiple irregular shaped pieces of carpet. Clearly, there is a need for an improved carpet recycling technique.
According to the invention, there is provided a method and/or an apparatus for use in processing material for recycling. The apparatus preferably includes a feed zone for receiving material to be processed, and exit zone through which the material can pass once processed, and at least one process zone in which the material is subjected to a cleaning operation. C,
The apparatus preferably includes a coupling zone at or adjacent the feed zone, for coupling together sections of the material, e.g. for creating a continuous length of material to be processed by the apparatus. The coupling zone preferably includes a sewing apparatus, for sewing together the sections of material.
The material is preferably coupled together using a coupling material which can be recycled with the textile material, e.g. ties, staples, twine or thread or suitable plastics material. If the apparatus is used for processing scrap carpet material, the sections of the scrap carpet are preferably coupled together using a tie, twine or thread that can be recycled with the carpet material, e.g. formed from the same material as the carpet.
Although a sewing operation is believed to be an advantageous method of coupling * : the material together, the coupling operation may take alternative forms, such as a *.** . . . . 15 stapling operation or an operation in which slits or apertures are formed in the ends of the material to be coupled together and a twine, thread or cable-tie type material is used to couple the two pieces of material together through the slits or apertures.
The apparatus preferably includes an inspection zone configured to permit visual inspection of both sides of the material passing through the apparatus. The inspection S...
zone preferably includes an arrangement of rollers for transporting the material through the inspection zone. The rollers are preferably arranged so as to pass the material beneath a walkway.

One or more scrapers may be provided at or prior to the inspection zone for removing or dislodging unwanted surface debris. The scraper may be passive, e.g. the scraper may comprise a bladed element over which the material is intended to be pulled in order to remove debris from the surfaces of the material. Additionally or alternatively active scraper devices may be incorporated for movement relative to the material.
The apparatus may include a buffer zone, in which a length of the material can accumulate, preferably in a relaxed (non-tensioned) state. Means for tensioning the relaxed material may be arranged upstream of the buffer zone.
The apparatus preferably includes a cleaning zone including at least one of a suction device, a beater device and a brush device, for use in cleaning the material.

steps, andlor so that the material passes through the suction device before passing * through the other device(s). An additional suction device may be provided after each S...
* brush/beater stage. S. * ...
The apparatus preferably includes a metal detection device for detecting metallic *.** content in the material. This may be at any location in the apparatus, e.g. before the visual inspection zone or more preferably after the cleaning zone. Rollers can be controlled to interrupt the passage of the matenal if metal is detected. It is preferred if the rollers are arranged so as to extend the material in a wall or curtain type manner, e.g. to enable ready visual inspection of both sides of the wall/curtains.
It is preferred if the exit zone includes is configured for winding the processed material on to a tube, so as to create a roll of the processed material. The apparatus may include sensors to enable the weight and/or length of the processed material to be monitored.

Other aspects and features of the invention will be apparent from the claims and the following description of the exemplary embodiment illustrated in Figure 1, which is a schematic side view of an apparatus for use in processing textiles as a preliminary step in a recycling method.
The apparatus is indicated generally at 100 in Figure 1 and includes an entrance zone 110, an exit zone 120 and a plurality of process zones 130, 140, 150, 160, 170 arranged between the entrance and exit zones 110, 120.
In this embodiment, the entrance zone 110 is in the form of a table or bay 112 onto *.. : which sections of textile can be stored, ready for processing. Typically, the textile *::::* 15 will take the form of lengths or rolls of plastic-based carpet or other such recyclable material. The bay 112 is preferably mounted on wheels (not shown) so as to be movable with respect to the remainder of the apparatus 100, e.g. for transporting textile material from a remote location. S. * S..
The first process zone 130 is used for coupling sections of textile material together, *.S* for the purpose of forming a continuous length of the textile material, e.g. as indicated at 200 in Figure 1. Hence, the first process zone 130 can be referred to as a coupling zone.
In this embodiment, the first process zone includes a bed 132 on to which two or more pieces of textile can be laid in overlap. There is also provided a pneumatic clamping device 134 for clamping the textile to the bed 132, as well as a sewing machine 136 (movable along a horizontal guide rail) for stitching the clamped textile together (e.g. to provide a substantially continuous stitched bond between two sections of textile).
A series of friction rollers 138 are provided for pulling the stitched material further into the apparatus 100, as well as for tensioning the stitched length of textile 200.
The entrance zone 110 may be omitted, in which case the coupling zone 130 serves effectively as a feed zone for textile to the apparatus 100.
An inspection zone 140 is provided adjacent the friction rollers 138, wherein the stitched and tensioned length of textile can be visually inspected. In this embodiment, the inspection zone 140 includes a platform or walkway 142 and an array of rollers 144 arranged to transport the stitched textile along a substantially U-shaped path defining walls 202, 204, as can be seen from Figure 1. The textile 200 passes beneath the walkway 142. An operator may stand on the walkway 142, to visually inspect the textile 200 as it passes through the zone 140.
Although not shown, the textile 200 may be pulled through or over one or more scrapers at or prior to the inspection zone 140, wherein the scrapers are intended for *:::: removing or dislodging unwanted surface debris, e.g. chewing gum. **S
* * 15 S...
The apparatus 100 includes a buffer zone 150, wherein a length of the stitched and *S*...
visually inspected textile can be allowed to pile up. In particular, the textile 200 passes over a friction roller 152 and falls down into a storage bay 154, where the textile 200 can be allowed to accumulate in a relaxed (non-tensioned) state. * S
A further series of rollers 156, 158 are arranged for re-tensioning the textile 200 after passing through the buffer zone 150, and for transporting the textile to a cleaning zone 160. The cleaning zone 160 includes rollers 162 for maintaining the textile 200 under tension during cleaning. The cleaning zone 160 includes a suction or vacuum cleaning device 164, a beater device 166 and one or more brushes 168. The suction device 164 is intended for sucking dirt and debris from the textile 200 and the brush and beater devices 166, 168 are intended for dislodging dust and debris.
It is preferred if the suction device 164 is provided downstream of the brush and beater devices 166, 168, so that the textile 200 passes through the vacuum device 164 before passing through the brush and beaters 166, 168. An additional suction device 164 may be provided after of the brush and beaters 166, 168.
Once cleaned, the textile 200 is transported via rollers 172, 174 through a second inspection zone 170, which includes a metal detection device 176 for detecting any metallic contact in the textile 200. The rollers 172, 174 can be controlled to interrupt the passage of the textile 200 through the zone 170 if metal is detected. It is preferred if the rollers 172, 174 are arranged so as to extend the textile 200 is in a wall 206 or curtain type manner at the second inspection stage, to enable ready visual inspection of both sides of the wall/curtains, e.g. as shown in Figure 1 wherein the textile is substantially vertical when passing through the detection device 176.
A further series of rollers 122, 124 are arranged for pulling the textile 200 into the exit zone 120. In this embodiment, the exit zone 120, is advantageously arranged for winding the processed textile 200 on to a tube so as to create a roll 126 of the processed textile 200. The exit zone 120 may include sensors to enable the weight and/or length of the processed material to be monitored. The roll 126 can then be transported to a recycling location. Alternatively, the exit zone 120 may include or form part of a feed device for feeding the processed textile 200 into a recycling unit, * e.g. a unit configured to turn the processed textile in to pellets. S... * S *5*S
It is preferred if the apparatus 100 is used for processing scrap carpet material, wherein sections of the scrap carpet are coupled together using a polypropylene twine S...
or thread that can be recycled with the carpet material.
The first and/or second inspection zones 140, 170 may be omitted, if desired.
However, these zones are useful for monitoring the quality of the material, before it is passed on for recycling. The metal detection device 176 may be provided before and/or after the cleaning zone 160.
The buffer zone 150 may also be omitted. However, it is advantageous in so far as it enables a store or buffer of continuous textile to be built up, whereby the cleaning zone 170 or exit zone 120 can continue to receive a feed of the textile 200, even if the intake or flow of the textile in the preceding zones is interrupted, e.g. if the sewing machine requires maintenance or if undesirable surface content is discovered at the first inspection zone 140. Likewise, the buffer zone 150 enables an operator to continue feeding material in to the apparatus 100, even if there is an upstream interruption in the flow of material through the apparatus 100, e.g. at the second inspection zone 170.
Although the illustrated embodiment uses a sewing machine to provide a substantially continuous stitched bond between two sections of textile, other coupling operations may be employed to create the length of textile for processing. For example, other embodiments may involve the use of staples arranged in a spaced array, and/or the use of a series of spaced ties passing through slits or apertures formed in the ends of the material to be coupled together. * * S S.
