If I was an engineer I would specialise in recycling and waste conversion, not because it's 'fashionable' to be 'green' but because it has so much potential. I've seen kitchen counter tops make from crushed glass, paving slabs from plastic bottle, sweaters from plastic bottles and so much more. Trash is cash. In the UK we say 'where there's muck there's money' !

@walterbrown8694 3 года назад

In 1953 , (68 years ago for the arithmetically challenged) I worked for Kimble Glass Co. in Chicago Heights, Illinois. Most of our product lines were whiskey bottles for the major liquor companies in the States. We routinely "recycled" old glass bottles which were then used along with lime and other stuff which I don''t remember, to make the new glass bottles. The "recycling" we did was in large scale quantities commensurate with our high quantity production - I think we had 4 furnaces running continuously to supply the glass for several concurrent production lines. Old glass has routinely been a component of glass production because it requires less cost than mining and refining of new material.

I don't know what the costs of running those machines are compared to purchasing raw sand is, but it seems a good way of re-using glass in things like concrete. Also didn't realize it would revert back to sand colour when crushed fine enough, must be the way light refracts through the fine particles i guess.

@rhondac98606 Год назад

way back in 1974 I worked for Owens Illinois Glass Factory located Parkrose, Oregon. They separated the glass in 3 colors, brown, clear, and green. Then crushed and then sprinkled over the electric furnace melting the mix back into molten glass to be blown into bottles and jars. you might contact them.

@cellofae705 Год назад

This is great since there is a sand shortage. I can only imagine the construction uses for this. Super excited to see this develop into common practice and get glass out of landfills.

@jeremyandmichelledevereux2756 3 года назад

I run a pool maintenance business in Perth Australia, and we use crushed glass as media for pool filters. The theory behind it is that the glass grains have sharper edges than the grains of sand so they can collect the dirt from the water more efficiently than the naturally occuring sand grains... but honestly I don't see much difference in perfermance between 16/30gr sand and the fine glass in performance. But hey, customers ask for it and we provide. The glass is a multigrade of some kind, if you look close you can see that it is a mix of different coloured glass. It looks much like glass and is applied the same as glass, but if you spill any while filling the filter you want to sweep it up because unlike sand, kneeling on glass pieces will do you some damage.

@charlieboye2009 3 года назад

I was on a hammer mill project a long while ago. Our hammers was a manganese super duplex material. The rotor design was very similar to yours. We had a throughput of 25 tons per hour metric. Our feed was lead acid batteries. The hard part was the separation, we used a variety of conveyors, some screw but the main one was a giant chain mail conveyor for removing oxide sludge.

@unknownUser-ph3br 3 года назад

Nice, good work. You are defently going in the right direction. Consider colour sorting and then washing the glass maybe after the first crushing to remove food, paper and glue residues from the glass. The washing requires a drying step afterwards tho, so it might be not profitable enough. At my country (Germany) the glass can't get properly recycled if the colour contamination exceeds a certain percentage in one colour. One coloured glass can be mixed in with a new batch of glass in glass bottle production and can start a second life as beverage container.

@ArnoldsDesign 3 года назад

Nice setup. My glass crushers and screener got badly damaged during a truck wreck recently, so I'm looking for newer equipment now. I was just varying my speed to control the size output, but it makes a lot of dust at higher speeds. The glass does need to be very dry during processing

In the Netherlands glass recycling the glass will first be sorted in the different colours like white/brown/ green etc. Everywhere in The netherlands there are these Glass containers in which the consumers already dump the bottles according to the colours. Otherwise the different coulours would mix in an unwanted diffuse mixup.

@enoughrope1638 3 года назад

They do that here in the US too. The thing is though the US is massive and decentralized so recycling initiatives are done on the local level village, town, city, or at most county (some counties are larger than the Netherlands).

@westtex3675 3 года назад

Interesting. I had always just assumed recycled glass was melted together to make new glass instead of crushed.

@James-bw4np 3 года назад

I worked as a glass installer and I had the same assumption. They told me that each manufacturer of glass used a slightly different "recipe" of chemicals to make their specific types of glass. And that if you just tried to melt that down and mix it up together, it would not work because current methods (as of 2014) would not be able to get the different glasses to mix evenly. It would be patchy and those patches would be weak points that would break at the slightest thing, even temperature changes of one side being at 40F and the other being at 70F. So a 30° temperature differential could cause the glass to break from "heat stress" oddly enough. This guy has it right though, that sand can be used in cement as an alternative to regular sand. So not as much recycle as re-purposing.

@@gangleweed 26 cents per sub .5 liter plastic bottles (and brown glass), and 0.3 for any bottle above 0.5 liter in Norway 2020 I don't know why they don't put that kind of system on all types of glass containers, or plastic for that matter, because it's a great incentive to recycle those. I think it has something with licenses or something.... But some schools can collect 700-1200 usd in a "bottle collection day" around some neighborhoods, it keeps the streets clean and helps recycle those bottles that would most likely just end bu being thrown away in the trash if it wasn't for that $0.2-0.3 per bottle it's more of a 10:1 return policy and it works. We are working on implementing that same system, but in agricultural regions in developing countries like Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. people are more likely to recycle if they know they can get something back for it, and it would help poor people (especially children) a mean of extra income, in hopes of swaying them away from a life of crime.... that's the hope, the reality is probably it's going to get fucked by some politician :)

@juancarlosvaldes4538 2 года назад

Very I teresting video on the process of converting glass to fine sand. Out of curiosity, is the sand found on the beaches the same as this final recycled sand you produce? Also, it's incredible to know how sandblasting at very high PSI can take rust out of metal objects. I saw this firsthand at a company a friend of mine used to work at.

@DeliciousDeBlair 4 года назад

The system you have is pretty workable for anything I would be using, seeing as I would only be using it either as concrete infill, or to make sodium silicate for reinforcing concrete.

@ramonching7772 3 года назад

If you compare the cost of the two. I have a hunch crushed sand as a waste of rock quarry, or sand from the river would be much cheaper. Broken bottles are more valuable to glass bottle maker.

@tituspullo9210 3 года назад

@@ramonching7772 Yes, but you have to bear in mind that glass bottle manufacturers need to have a certain fraction - too fine and it cannot be used.

I have used this recycled glass to lay block paving on in England it stinks a bit with it being mainly beer bottles and you have to keep it damp while compacting with a Vibrating plate but it doesn't move after you've laid the blocks Plus it's much cheaper than River/Concreting sand

Love your work guys... I was curious if a wet shaker table would help sift small plastic and paper from the end product? I have thought long and hard on ways to recycle glass safely. Your system works, but the dust is extremely hazardous. I think a trommel style ball mill would work best, using water to prevent dust from escaping to harm the area, then having it feeding a shaker table to remove or wash the end product. Plastic and paper would wash out easily (possibly has a resale value), fine silica glass would run through (definite resale value), and metals would be recovered in particle sizes. Fewer moving parts and cleaner end materials?

Years ago I had a summer job working at a recycling center. Most of my time was spent on the glass line separating the colors (clear, brown, green, other) for separate processing. In the video it was all colors at once. Is that standard practice now? Just for demonstration?

@sharpe227 3 года назад

since his just making sand it doenst seem to matter.But if he was selling glass bottles to someone to grind into new glass.Its probably like most things clear glass can be make into green or brown.but its harder i would assume to make brown glass or green into clear glass.

@mikaelabowen5781 3 года назад

@@wsl3666 I appreciate that, but any crushing process also produces quantities of tiny particles as well as the desired grit/sand. If this set-up were indoors I'd definitely be wearing some good respiratory gear. I used to work in very high silica sand stone and the dust - much finer than the particle size of the stone itself - permeates everything. Even wet processes, unless they are very thoroughly set up, allow quite a high spread of dust.

Burned off when the glass is remelted, same as any old contents left in the bottles and jars.

@justingrey6008 3 года назад

If they are just making a utility grade sand I would assume the that any contaminates such as the labels are not critical to the end result. I would also assume that some form of washing operation could remove the bulk of them if needed, I would doubt glass ground into sand would find it's way back into new glass however as this is more refining then it actually needs, the first crushing operation would be sufficient if it was just going to be remelted.

@TommyTempah 3 года назад

@@justingrey6008 your right about the glass not being remelted into new glass, we use glass sand as a low cost aggregate for manufacturing concrete blocks, the sand does need to be cleaned of any sugars though via either washing or burning off, as glucose retards the cement reaction and compromises the strengths reached by your blocks.

@MFingChuck 3 года назад

@@oo-cv7vt As compared to new. Different colors and types of glass contain different chemicals. So while you may want a clear drinking glass made of crystal (really pure) the glass used as filler in concrete to make a road isn't as important. Some glass isn't even considered recyclable because of it's much higher melting temperature. And since it could take a million years for it to decompose...

The magnetic steel remover would be way more efficient if it were a stage, where the material is running on the actual belt, not the belt running over the material. Less magnetic force needed, more material removed. However probably 2 stages needed because of glass contamination after the first stage. At least that is how the local crushing line here is set up.
