A tub grinder has a rotor with hammers that pass between adjacent slug bars. The slug bars have a riser bar portion disposed on the top of the slug bars, the riser bar portions extending vertically higher on one end of each respective slug bar than on the other end of each respective slug bar so that the hammers extend farther beyond the top of the riser bar and slug bar when they pass by first end than when they pass by the second end of the riser bar.

A vertical combined shredding and mixing truck, adapted to shred fibrous products such as hay or straw and to mix them with ensiled and farinaceous products to provide the mechanized feeding of dairy cows and fattening cows, including, within an outer enclosure, at least one vertical motorized screw feeder, which is provided with applied blades and an outlet for discharging the mixed product; there is at least one device which including an idle rotor which is provided with tools adapted to come into contact with the product being processed and is integral with the at least one screw feeder, protruding from the outer edge of said screw feeder.

A food recycler can include a bucket with a certain configuration for processing waste food. A bucket includes an interior surface having thereon a set of projections. A grinding mechanism includes a first arm connected to a rotational member, the first arm having a first distal end adjacent to the interior surface of the bucket and that has notches that are complementary to the projections. A second arm has a second distal end also having notches complementary to projections. Waste food is processed with the grinding mechanism.

Organic solid waste treatment equipment of the technical field of organic solid waste treatment is provided, including a box body, the top of the box body is fixedly connected with a feeding port. When in use, waste is poured into the box from the feeding port, driven by the extended hydraulic rod to move the squeezing plate, pushing the waste towards the drainage groove; the waste is pushed to the filter screen surface by the squeezing plate, squeezed and drained by its pressure, and repeatedly squeezed by the hydraulic rod's extension and retraction to dry, and waste is crushed in the barrel, slides down the plates into the hopper, and then into the conveying pipe. By activating the third motor, the auger flights are driven to rotate, pushing the waste out from the end face of the conveying pipe to complete the discharging.

Machines, processes and methods in relation to processing of waste, in particular food waste or organic waste are provided. Some embodiments of described machines, processes and methods include a drum to receive waste, mixing blades to process waste, a source of air that is rich in reactive oxygen species, an air flow system comprising a heater to circulate air through the drum, and sensors provided in the machine to monitor operating parameters. A control system is configured to control operation of the machine.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and substantially dried product. The apparatus uses a bucket assembly that can grind, paddle, and heat organic matter contained therein. The bucket assembly can include a metal housing that has a flat bottom surface with multiple support structures that hold respective impeller assemblies that rotate about respective vertical axes. The impeller assemblies each include cutting structures and other structures designed to mix and agitate matter contained in the bucket assembly. One or more blade arrays can be mounted in a vertical orientation on a side of the metal housing plate and assist in fracture cutting and grinding of contents contained in the bucket.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide a bucket assembly and method of use thereof. The bucket assembly is a relatively lightweight and removable apparatus that can fracture cut, paddle, and heat contents contained therein. The bucket assembly can include a housing that has a curved metal plate and blade array attached thereto. A cut and paddle assembly can rotate within the housing and interface with the blade array to fracture cut contents contained therein. The cut and paddle assembly is also operative to mix the contents to ensure full dispersal within the housing. A flexible heater array is attached to and operative to heat the curved metal plate. The combination of the fracture cutting, paddling, and heating can convert organic matter to a ground and selectively desiccated product.

The present invention relates to an equipment in the field of hygiene article manufacturing, in particular to a hygiene article recycling unit for disintegrating and separating hygiene articles allowing to separate raw materials at a purity allowing to directly use it in the manufacturing process of the hygiene articles. The recycling unit comprised several devices as sub-units. The present invention further relates to a process for operating such an equipment.
