Various embodiments of a hammermill system, hammer, and methods are disclosed. A hammermill hammer comprises a metal composite comprising a plurality of inserts and a body portion disposed between each of the plurality of inserts. The composition of the plurality of inserts is different than composition of the body portion. The material of the plurality of inserts has a greater abrasion resistance than the material of the body portion and the material of the body portion has a greater impact resistance than the material of the inserts. The hammers produced have improved wear resistance and longer useful life compared to conventional hammermill hammers.

A hammer assembly that will mount in a grinder/shredder/hammer mill type machine. A tool holder is milled with dovetail/angular slots along each side of the hammer tool holder, which allows milled blade to slide in to place and be securely held in position. The simple milled slot located in the middle of each blade that allows a single mounting block/bolt to securely hold each blade in position. This results in the ability to rotate and/or interchange blades. The tool holder allows single or multiple blade/hammer inserts to be installed without having to remove a hammer pin, so the tool holder stays in the machine, and the blades can be easily removed. This arrangement allows the tool holder to stay in place, and enables the simple removal of a single bolt and retention block and then flip or rotate the hammer to get additional wear surfaces or install new blades.

A rotor for a device for disintegrating feed material, comprising a drive shaft, a plurality of rotor disks mounted on the drive shaft, and disintegration tools arranged in the region of the outer circumference of the rotor disks. A holding flange is provided for each rotor disk for connecting the rotor disk to the drive shaft, wherein the holding flange is permanently connected to the drive shaft and detachably connected to the rotor disk. Devices for disintegrating feed material, in particular impact hammer mills, may thus be operated with a rotor, in which the risk of a shaking out and a lateral wandering of the rotor disks is largely eliminated.

A proposal is made for a disposal apparatus for disposing of food leftovers. The disposal apparatus comprises at least one comminuter, which has at least one grinding chamber and at least one collecting chamber. The grinding chamber is connected to the collecting chamber via one or more openings. At least one comminuting device having at least one impact tool for comminuting the food leftovers is arranged in the grinding chamber. In addition, at least one mixing device for generating a movement in the food leftovers is arranged in the grinding chamber. A method for disposing of food leftovers is furthermore proposed.
