Abstract From the Canadian patent

Apparatus for the recovery of a heterogeneous mass constituted by two or more plastics materials has a cold mixing stage in which the heterogeneous mass previously, chopped, is subjected to a thorough mixing so as to give a uniform mixture. This treatment is performed in a screw mixer (100) whose central region (102) has helical thread sections (104) of opposite hand from one another. The mixed homogeneous mass thus obtained is then subjected to a heat treatment in another screw conveyor in which the core has a section of gradually increasing diameter followed by a sharp discontinuity intended to encourage degasification of the material subjected to the heat treatment.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 3, 1992 and granted February 6, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 3, 2012.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 3, 2014.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
