Abstract:
The present invention refers to an article made from overmoulded composite material (1) comprising a glass body (2), consisting of a container or a closing element of a container, and an overmoulded jacket (3) made from thermoplastic resin, characterised in that said glass (2) is a glass of the sodium-calcium or borosilicate type comprising (percentages in weight referring to the weight of the glass): CaO from 1 to 12% by weight, preferably between 8% and 10% in the case of sodium-calcium glass; preferably between 1% and 3% in the case of borosilicate glass; Al 2 O 3 from 1 to 7% by weight, preferably between 1% and 2% in the case of sodium-calcium glass; preferably between 5% and 7% in the case of borosilicate glass; one or more oxides selected from the group consisting of ZnO, TiO 2 and ZrO 2 , in a variable amount from 0.3 to 3% by weight of each oxide. The present invention also concerns a method for preparing the aforementioned article made from overmoulded composite material.
Abstract:
A crushing machine for comminuting laminated glass, particularly windshields for cars, consists of a chamber with cylindric wall (24) in which is suspended a rotor (28) with pivotably beaters (50). Plural layers of laminated glass are fed through a feeding opening (20) through rubber rollers (22) which form an almost airtight lock into the crushing chamber. At the inner side of its wall (24), the chamber is provided with a number of evenly distributed ribs (54) to be impacted by laminated glass pieces, which are subsequently further comminuted by the beaters (50). The crushing chamber is provided with a slot-formed discharge opening (34) which may be varied in width. Outside the discharge opening (34), there is mounted a collecting containing (36) provided with subpressure. Due to naturally occurring leaks in the wall (24) of the crushing chamber, including the feeding opening (22), there will be a continuous flow of air out through the opening (34), why the material will eventually be conducted therethrough and collected in a container (36). From here, the material may leave the container (36) through an aperture closed by a flap (38). With the crushing machine according to the invention, there may be achieved a complete comminution of laminated glass material and separation of glass from the plastic film in one step and so that the finest glass particles have a size in the order of 0-3 millimeters.
Abstract:
It refers to a process for the fabrication of a porthole for washing machines, a moulding system for implementing said process, and a porthole obtained by said process. In particular, it refers to a process and to the related moulding system which permit to reduce time and costs in order to make a porthole for washing machines.
