A plant for the processing of waste includes an outer housing and a grinding cell, in which a grinding chamber is defined having at least one inlet opening for introducing the waste to be processed, and at least one outlet opening for discharging the material resulting from waste processing. The openings are associated with a corresponding closure element, adapted to isolate the grinding chamber from the outer environment. The outer housing defines therein a space receiving the grinding cell and integrally surrounds the grinding cell, and in which the space is accessible through at least one door.

The invention relates to a device (10; 50) for mechanically comminuting materials, including a vertically extending comminuting chamber (14) having an upwardly extending supply side (15) and a downwardly extending discharge side. The comminuting chamber is enclosed by an circular cylindrical and/or conical downwardly expanded comminuting chamber wall (12), and in which at least one rotor (16, 18) rotating about a vertical rotor axis (R) is arranged, which is provided with striking tools (38) that extend radially into the comminuting chamber, at least during operation. The rotors (16, 18) are held in a stationary manner with respect to a support base (20) of the device, and the comminuting chamber wall is supported on the support base. According to the invention, the comminuting chamber wall is held in place by way of a lifting device in the direction of the rotor axis (R) in a height adjustable manner relative to the support base (20). The lifting device (36) has a working position, in which the lower edge of the comminuting chamber wall (12) is arranged close to the support base (20) or to a part connected thereto, and a maintenance position, in which the lower edge (32) of the comminuting chamber wall (12) is vertically raised above at least one of the striking tools (22, 24). The invention allows easy maintenance and an uncomplicated exchange of the striking tools of the comminuting device.

A multistage hammer mill 10 has a plurality of milling stages arranged concentrically so that substantially all material in a first innermost of the milling stages passes through all subsequent adjacent milling stages. A central feed opening 12 enables material flow into a primary impact zone 14 of a first milling stage, which has an impact mechanism 16 and a first screen arrangement 20a. The impact mechanism 16 rotates about a rotation axis 18. The first screen arrangement 20a is disposed circumferentially about and radially spaced from the impact mechanism 16 and has a plurality of apertures 22 through which impacted material of a first size range can pass. A second milling stage has a second arrangement 20b disposed circumferentially about and radially spaced from the first screen arrangement 20a and a circular array of impact elements 50a between the first and second screen arrangements.

A impact crusher with dual rotors, an upper rotor (30) and a hammer for the impact crusher are disclosed herein. The upper rotor (30) of the impact crusher comprises two discs on top of each other. The upper rotor (30) comprises a plurality of hammers (40) pointing down, to the outer perimeter of the lower rotor (20) discharging the material to be crushed at high speed. Each hammer (40) has a support shaft (41) that extends vertically between the first disc (31) and the second disc (32). The distance between the first disc (31) and the second disc (32) provides torsional structure to the connection between the hammer and the upper rotor (30).
