Abstract

A device (1, 1', 1", 1"') for singulation of used beverage or food containers received in bulk into individual objects, comprising: a first receiving area (2, 2', 2", 2"') arranged for simultaneouslyreceiving and keeping a plurality of containers; a second receiving area (3, 3', 3", 3"') positioned at a higher vertical level than the first receiving area, characterized in that the device (1, 1',1", 1"') further comprises a transporting device (4, 4', 4", 4"') comprising a container elevating member (5, 5', 5", 5"') for transporting a container from the first receiving area (2, 2', 2", 2"') to the second receiving area (3, 3', 3", 3"'), wherein the elevating member (5, 5', 5", 5"') is attached to said transporting device, moves along and is locked to a circumferential path around a firstaxis (x) upon activation of the transporting device (4, 4', 4", 4"'), and the first axis (x) is inclined at an angle of 1 degree to 45 degrees relative the horizontal plane.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for separating objects received in bulk, such as used beverage and food containers. Background technique [0002] The device for receiving, identifying and / or sorting objects, such as used beverage or food containers, can be used, for example, in automatic recycling machines in supermarkets. Typically, these devices receive the containers one by one, so the user must feed the containers to the device one by one. [0003] WO2014 / 122305A1 discloses an example of a device adapted to receive objects in bulk, such as used beverage or food containers, and transfer them for individual processing. Objects are received at the circular rotating surface, which is substantially horizontal and descends towards the perimeter of the surface. A conveyor belt is arranged adjacent to the rotating surface such that objects leaving the surface will terminate at the conveyor belt. These objects are thus separated...
