METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROCESSING OF FILTER MATERIAL, PRODUCT OBTAINED THEREOF

Filter material, mainly in form of industrial remnants from the production of the filter fillings, is processed without the intake of the heat in such a way that it is cut in the disintegrator () at the presence of the air, where the material is during retention time repeatedly led to the contact with the rotating blades and bunches emerge in the disintegrator () through aeration. The flat carrier () is thus at least partially disintegrated to the original fibers (); the released fibers () intertwine into bunches and the active carbon () is released from the original bond with the flat carrier (). The swirl (vortex) created inside the disintegrator () carries the dust particles of the active carbon () and they adhere to the surface of the fibers (). Part of the released active carbon () is—after the separation—carried away from the emergin bunches, which in the lower part of the disintegrator () run through the sieve out of the disintegrator (). The resulting product is advantageously applicable as heat and noise isolation in all fields of technology, for example construction. The separated active carbon () in form of granules is also a resulting product of processing.
