System and method for recycling scrap fiberglass products in concrete and asphalt construction

摘要

A system and method is provided for processing scrap FRP for use in the production of concrete or asphalt construction or paving material. In the process, the scrap FRP is comminuted, ground or pulverized into particle sizes suitable for combination with the base paving material. In one preferred embodiment, the scrap FRP is processed into particles of about ¼ inches in outer dimension. This processed scrap FRP is then mixed at the job site with other aggregate materials for combination with the base material to form a paving mixture that is applied to the prepared surface. In one embodiment, the scrap FRP material is passed through an industrial chipper or shredder and the comminuted particles are then combined with materials in a paving materials processing drum at the job site.
