A mobile mineral material processing plant is adaptively coupled to a screen module using an elongated coupling base that has first and second adapters to respectively detachably attach together a screen module, one or more exit conveyors and to detachably attach the screen module and the one or more exit conveyors to the plant. The first adapter pivotably couples to the plant on laterally moving the plant to engage with a first connector of the first adapter. The second adapter allows an actuator to lift the screen module with the coupling base so that the screen module pivots from ground about the pivotable coupling to an inclined operating configuration. The coupling base is angled to horizontally align a reject conveyor in the inclined operating configuration.

A shredder includes a shredder box having first and second opposite end walls, and first and second opposite side walls that extend between the first and second end walls. The shredder further includes a shredder rotor positioned within an interior of the shredder box, an access door that is pivotally moveable, and a control system for monitoring various parameters to operate the shredder. A side access region is defined between the first and second end walls when the access door is in the open position. The side access region provides access to the shredder rotor and includes an open region defined between the first and second end walls at the second side of the shredder. The open region has an open top which is free of obstructions extending between the first and second end walls.

A wood grinding machine may have a vibration detection system including one or more vibration sensors. The vibration detection system may include a trip point representative of a maximum allowable level of vibration. If a vibration signal from the one or more vibration sensors exceeds the trip point, a trip protocol may be executed to automatically stop the grinding process. Related methods are also disclosed.

A road debris collection assembly for includes a vehicle that has a storage tank thereon and an engine. A vacuum unit is coupled to the storage tank and the vacuum unit produces vacuum pressure within the storage tank when the vacuum unit is turned on. A pair of shredding units is each coupled to the vehicle and each of the shredding units has an inlet is aligned with a roadway upon which the vehicle is driving. Moreover, each of the shredding units is in fluid communication with the vacuum unit to suctionally collect debris from the roadway. Each of the shredding units has a plurality of blades therein and the blades in each of the shredding units shredding the debris when the shredding units are turned on.

A liquification system for an organic waste management system includes a hopper that is oriented vertically such that organic waste added to the hopper is biased by gravity toward a bottom end of the hopper; a fixed grinding plate disposed at the bottom end of the hopper and including grinding elements for grinding and liquefying organic waste; an agitator that is disposed within the hopper and is movable relative to the grinding plate in a first rotational direction that moves organic waste downward toward and against the grinding plate and in a second rotational direction that moves organic waste upward toward a top end of the hopper; a motor configured to selectively move the agitator in the first and second rotational directions under control of the controller; and an outlet through the bottom end of the hopper through which liquified organic waste drains from the hopper.

A shredder includes a shredder box having first and second opposite end walls, and first and second opposite side walls that extend between the first and second end walls. The shredder further includes a shredder rotor positioned within an interior of the shredder box, an access door that is pivotally moveable, and a control system for monitoring various parameters to operate the shredder. A side access region is defined between the first and second end walls when the access door is in the open position. The side access region provides access to the shredder rotor and includes an open region defined between the first and second end walls at the second side of the shredder. The open region has an open top which is free of obstructions extending between the first and second end walls.

A mobile screen body and a mobile mineral material processing plant are disclosed that include a platform frame, a plurality of legs for supporting the platform frame to ground, a screen support frame supported by the platform frame movably between a transport position in which the screen support frame is adjacent to the platform frame and an operating position in which the screen support frame is elevated from the transport position, and a plurality of supports having first ends configured to be structurally coupled with the screen support frame, and second ends configured to be structurally coupled with respective ones of the plurality of legs, when the screen support frame is in the operating position. The supports are arranged in pairs that reside outside the platform frame in sideways direction.
