Asphalt shingle recycling system and method

The asphalt roofing material is delivered into a treatment chamber of a processor. Hot oil is passed through a jacket surrounding the treatment chamber. Heated asphalt forms a hot solid and / or a liquefied slurry. The hot solid and / or the liquefied slurry is then removed from the treatment chamber. The asphalt roofing material in the treatment chamber can be agitated to promote mixing. The asphalt is heated to a temperature in the range from 200 degrees Fahrenheit to 650 degrees Fahrenheit within the treatment chamber. The solid and / or liquefied slurry is milled after it has been removed from the treatment chamber. The solid and / or the liquefied slurry is cooled after it exits the treatment chamber, preferably to a temperature in the range of approximately 90 degrees Fahrenheit to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot solid and / or the liquefied slurry is passed through a hammer mill after the hot solid and / or the liquefied slurry exits the treatment chamber to reduce the particle size of the solid particles.

An asphalt roofing material recycling system and method is used to recycle new and used (post consumer) asphalt materials, such as asphalt shingles, rolled roofing and tar paper that may include granules, fibers or other particles. The asphalt material, which may be in bundles, is broken up and separated and then provided to a cooled recycling vessel. Dry ice is added along with the asphalt material to be recycled. The dry ice removes any moisture present and super-cools the material making it brittle and easier to chip and break up. The recycle vessel includes a number of high speed shippers having tulip hear chipping teeth as well as one horizontal mixer element which stirs the material and makes sure all material is ground. The resulting course to fine powder can be separated by screening and stored as power or compressed into bricks or briquettes.

Data-based method for estimating loss of roof sheathings by considering wind load correlativity

The invention discloses a data-based method for estimating loss of roof sheathings by considering wind load correlativity. The method is used for estimating the wind-induced loss of the roof sheathings adopting wood structures. In a calculation process, a probability density function of wind loads on the roof sheathings is estimated first and then extreme value distribution of the wind loads is obtained according to a conversion process method; extreme states of the roof sheathings are expressed by using relationships between extreme values of the wind loads on the roof sheathings and a resistance force, and then a destruction probability of the roof sheathings is calculated; and finally the loss of a whole roof is estimated. The method has the characteristics that a joint probability density function of the wind loads is obtained through Nataf change, so that the correlativity existent between the wind loads is considered and the influence of the wind load correlativity on wind-induced loss assessment of the roof sheathings is quantified. Meanwhile, the method can be expanded to the wind-induced loss estimation of other roof members such as asphalt shingles.
