METHOD FOR TREATING PAPER END-PRODUCTS AND TREATMENT FACILITY EMPLOYING THE SAID METHOD

The invention relates to a facility (1) for the treatment of paper end-products recovered on leaving the pulpers (2)， which contain cellulose fibres contaminated with various substances containing at least a fraction of metallic materials (MM)， a fraction of synthetic materials (MS) and a fraction of cellulose materials (MC). The said facility (1) is characterized in that it is designed to operate on end-products (D) with a moisture content of more than 50wt%， and preferably of between 70 and 80wt%， and in that it comprises at least: 1) a grinding and/or shredding station (11， 13) designed to grind and/or shred the said moisture-laden end-products (M) into calibrated packages， 2) a metal sorting station (15， 21) designed to mechanically separate the said fraction of metallic materials (MM) from the said end-products (M)， so as to be able to put this fraction to profitable use at least in part in the iron and steel industry， 3) a cellulose sorting station (24) designed to mechanically separate the said fraction of synthetic materials (MS)， so that this fraction can be put to profitable use at least in part in the plastics industry， from the said fraction of cellulose materials (MC) ， and 4) a purification station (27) designed to separate the cellulose fibres from the said fraction of cellulose materials (MC) so that these fibres can be put to profitable use by reinjecting them into the said papermill paper pulp preparation circuit.
