NOVELTY - The specification raw materials (SRMs) are fed to two shredders to meet the desired size range of the SRMs. The acceptable sized SRMs are conveyed from surge conveyor into the air shear for removing non-ferrous metal. After removing the non-ferrous metal, the ferrous metal separation equipment removes the ferrous metals by dropping the SRMs into metal take-away equipment. The shredded SRMs with proper size and composition are fed to cubers to be blended with water, compressed, pelletized or densified into cubed structures.    USE - For densification and shredding of specification raw materials that include grass-like materials, switch grasses, vegetation, leaves, yard debris material, farming by-products, agricultural crops or low or negative cost industrial residues, classified materials from municipal solid waste (MSW) plants, wood, tree bark, pallets, paper, coated paper, laminated and waxed paper, fiber, textiles, fabrics, cardboard, chip board, short fiber, plastics, films, polymers, milk containers, oil bottles, coatings, wax, fossil fuels, tar, oil, grease, animal derived fats, oils, or grease, any and all combustible materials suitable to provide fuel for combustion and create steam, electric power, process heat, kilns, or other conversion processes that could use the fuel as an energy source.    ADVANTAGE - The densification system is a compact and easily installed modular concept that produces up to 60 tons per hour of densified fuel source. The floor area needed for all of the equipment forming the system is approximately 10,000 square feet. The system is designed to be a closed system under negative pressure through the use of conveyance systems that allow dust control and fire containment. All components of the system are made of metal and contain internal fire suppressant systems to present little fire threat. The densification of the shredded specification raw materials is controlled by a programmable logic controller and is operated by a single person. The system is self-monitoring and fully automated so that operations are controlled to a level where the person loading the unit is the only operator required. The densified SRMs generated from the system are self-regulated and are automatically loaded onto trailers or in a storage bin with no supervision required. The components forming the system and their operations are portable using standard trucking and are easily reproduced and installed. The densification system is unique owing to its minimal need for maintenance and simple access and component replacement design. The design allows for maintenance to be performed on any of the cubers while the rest of the densification system is in full operation. The system incorporates shredders that are not normally used in a production processing line application. The surge conveyors transporting the shredded SRMs from the shredders to the cubers are unique to any conveyance equipment. The system comprises transparent enclosures so that all aspects of shredding and densification process are monitored. The system is operated and monitored from remote locations both on and off site.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for the method of preparing densified specification raw materials by a densification system.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows the flowchart of the densification system.
