An anvil assembly for a vertical shaft impact rock crushing machine includes a plurality of anvils and anvil holders, each anvil holder including an anchor plate and a buttress wall, the anchor plate having dual tapered shoulders and the buttress wall extending perpendicularly from one side of the anchor plate. The rear face of each anvil includes dual vertically-mirroring docking ports each having dual, inwardly-oriented, angularly inclined side channels. In a mounted configuration the shoulders of each anchor plate are detachably captured in the side channels of one of the docking ports, thereby supporting each anvil on the anvil holder and securing it to the crushing machine.

Ore rock is disintegrated into extremely fine rock fraction in a slurry by subjecting the slurry in selective orders of application of excitation forces and energy to cause spontaneous cavitation to occur in the slurry. The excitation forces and energy are provided by electrodynamic discharges, hydrostatic force, hydrodynamic energy, and sonic vibrations.

The invention regards to a device for comminuting ore and/or slag, which comprises an ore feed unit for feeding ore to be comminuted to a first comminuting means, the first comminuting means being composed of at least two comminuting elements that can be moved relative to each other, which elements form at least one comminuting space for the ore to be comminuted with each other such that, by a relative movement in the form of a rotation around the rotational axis of at least one of the two comminuting elements, the ore to be comminuted is pulverized in that one or more accelerating elements, in particular protrusions, are provided on at least one of the comminuting elements, said accelerating elements being arranged in particular on the end face of one of the two comminuting elements and accelerating and comminuting the ore to be comminuted by the rotation of one of the two comminuting elements, and wherein at least one of the two comminuting elements comprises a functional connection with a spring means, wherein the spring means is formed in such a way, that it mounts the comminuting element being in functional connection with variably in the direction of the other comminuting element.

Floor-standing equipment and methods that employ them use nylon netting to grate trim off the seedless flowers of female cannabis plants. The netting is formed into large cylindrical drum into which about five pounds of dried seedless flowers of female cannabis plants are loaded through a door flap in the netting. An electric motor or handcrank causes the load to tumble over and over a horizontal axle for 3-5 minutes at about 35-RPM. The trim drops through the netting down through a funnel bag into a plastic basin on the floor. The trimmed seedless flowers are then dropped out separately through the door flap in the netting and through the funnel bag into a second plastic basin on the floor.

Methods for producing a purified wheat embryo product are disclosed. In one embodiment, producing a purified wheat embryo product includes the steps of: accelerating a plurality of wheat berries toward an impact surface, impacting each of the plurality of wheat berries against the impact surface, dislodging at least some of the wheat embryos from the wheat berries in response to the impacting step such that the dislodged embryos are intact, and separating the dislodged wheat embryos from the bran and the endosperm to produce an intermediate purified wheat embryo product.
