SCRAP RECOVERY FACILITY, AND SCRAP RECOVERY METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance an efficiency for recovering scraps into a recovery box.SOLUTION: A scrap recovery facility comprises: a shoot 1 having an inclined surface 1A on which scraps ST are slid and dropped; a recover box 7 an upper part of which is opened and which can accommodate the scraps ST which are dropped from a lower part of the shoot 1; a stopper 2 which has a contact surface 2a, which extends in a width direction of the inclined surface 1A, on a lower end part side of the shoot 1, and which is located at a position at which the contact surface 2a can contact the scraps ST which are slid and dropped along the inclined surface 1A; a contact detection part 4 which detects contact between the contact surface 2a and the scraps ST; and a retreat processing part 5 which retreats the stopper 2 to a retreat position Y at which the stopper does not contact the scraps ST after lapse of a preset time from the time when the contact detection part 4 detects contact of the scraps ST.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 回収ボックスへのスクラップの回収効率を向上させる。【解決手段】スクラップ回収設備は、スクラップＳＴが滑り落ちる傾斜面１Ａを有するシュート１と、上方が開口しシュート１の下部から落下したスクラップＳＴを収容可能な回収ボックス７と、シュート１の下端部側において傾斜面１Ａの幅方向に沿って延在する当接面２ａを有し且つ当接面２ａが傾斜面１Ａに沿って滑り落ちてきたスクラップＳＴと当接可能な位置に配置されたストッパー２と、当接面２ａへのスクラップＳＴの当接を検出する当接検出部４と、当接検出部４がスクラップＳＴの当接を検出すると、予め設定した設定時間経過後に、ストッパー２をスクラップＳＴと接触しない退避位置Ｙに退避させる退避処理部５と、を備える。【選択図】 図１
