A stackable wear panel (1) for use within a modular stackable wear-resistant panel system (11) is configured to be removably affixed to a wall (10A) or surface of equipment (10) to be protected. The stackable wear panel (1) is also configured to be alternatively removably affixed to a top surface (2A) of another stackable wear panel (1) within a stacked wear panel arrangement (1, 1). The stackable wear panel (1) is formed by a matrix (2) having a top surface (2A), a bottom surface (2B) opposite said top surface (2) and a central bore (4) extending through the top (2A) and bottom (2B) surfaces. The central bore (4) is configured to receive either one of a fastener (5) or a spacing adapter (6) therein, and/or support a portion (5A, 5B) of the fastener (5) or a lower outer surface portion (6E) of the spacing adapter (6).

A grinder having a rotor and fan assembly mounted in a housing having one or more of the following features: a cutting shaft and a fan shaft which are concentric and are rotated by separate motors; a housing formed in two sections, with a line of division passing through the axis of rotation of the shafts and mounted on rollers; ping pong shaped cutting hammers; and deflectors attached to the inside of the housing and to a deflector assembly on the outside of the housing. The deflectors are movable vertically and horizontally with first and second motion controllers for adjusting the spacing between the cutting hammers and the deflectors. A programmable logic controller is used for independently controlling the speed at which the cutting shaft and fan shaft are rotated and the spacing between the cutting hammers and the deflectors to produce a desired particle size reduction for a selected material.

A pulverizing device for pulverizing a base material, e.g. pellets, having a predetermined shape and size, for use in an asphalt mixture. The pulverizing device includes a pulverizing member and a pulverizing surface arranged in a housing, the pulverizing member and the pulverizing surface being arranged such that the base material is adapted to be pulverized between the pulverizing member and the pulverizing surface. The housing at least partly encloses the pulverizing member and the pulverizing surface. The pulverizing surface extends essentially along a longitudinal axis, and the pulverizing member includes a plurality of planar circular cutting discs, adapted to pulverize the base material. The cutting discs are provided with a planar surface, and the cutting discs are arranged along the longitudinal axis, such that the planar surfaces of the cutting discs are oriented essentially parallel to each other.

An anvil adjustment assembly of a vertical shaft impactor includes an anvil ring configured to be disposed within a housing of the vertical shaft impactor. The anvil ring includes a tab which is coupled to an elongate jack bolt having a first end and a second end. A jack bolt housing partially surrounds the bolt and is coupled to the housing. A first locking collar and a second locking collar are coupled to the jack bolt. The first locking nut is coupled to the jack bolt on one side of the tab, and the second locking nut is coupled to the jack bolt on the opposite side of the tab. The jack bolt moves along a longitudinal axis within the jack bolt housing between a first position and a second position, and the movement of the jack bolt along the longitudinal axis induces longitudinal movement of the anvil ring.
