An ammunition disposal system having a chute access portion; a collection chamber attached such that a chute access portion interior cavity is in fluid communication with a collection chamber interior cavity; a shredder assembly attached such that the collection chamber interior cavity is in fluid communication with a shredder assembly interior cavity, with one or more shredder blade assemblies positioned within the shredder assembly interior cavity; a hopper attached such that the shredder assembly interior cavity is in fluid communication with a hopper interior cavity; an extractor attached such that the hopper interior cavity is in fluid communication with an extractor interior cavity, and wherein an auger is positioned within at least a portion of the extractor interior cavity; and a liquid contained within at least a portion of the collection chamber interior cavity, the shredder assembly interior cavity, the hopper interior cavity, and the extractor interior cavity.

A blending system that includes a base that is selectively and operatively engaged with a container is shown and described herein. The base may include a near field communications chip that may communicate with a near field communications chip of a cutting disc. The cutting disc identifies a type of the cutting disc, a position of a chute of a lid or both.

A distributor device for solids-laden fluids comprises a distributor housing having a housing underside and a housing topside opposite the housing underside which define an interior space that is subdivided into a fluid space into which the inlet port opens and a ventilation space separate therefrom into which the ventilation port opens. A plurality of outlet ports, an inlet port in the distributor housing, a ventilation port disposed in the housing topside of the distributor housing, and a distributor unit are also included. The distributor unit is movable relative to the distributor housing and disposed inside the distributor housing, and connects each of the outlet ports in fluid communication with the fluid space and with the ventilation space in alternating succession. Relative movement of the distributor unit connects an outlet port of the plurality of outlet ports alternately with the fluid space and the ventilation space.

The invention relates to a device and a method for the dissociation of tissue. In one embodiment, the device has at least one dissociation unit, for receiving a tissue sample, which is disposed at least partially in a pot-shaped cell strainer. In addition, the invention relates, in one embodiment, to a device and a method for the dissociation of tissue, the tissue being dissociated by a grinder having mutually movable rows of teeth which cut the tissue when moving past each other in the one direction and grind the tissue when moving past each other in the opposite direction.

Grinding apparatus for grinding substances, such as tobacco. In certain embodiments, grinding apparatus with a plurality of receptacles which can be selectively filled with a ground product, such as tobacco. In still other embodiments, a grinding apparatus with a cone lifting mechanism, vibration inducing mechanism and/or with a selector capability or mechanism for selecting one or more of a plurality of receptacles, or storage area(s), for delivery of a ground product.

A portable manual grinder has a driving section, a grinding section and a discharging section coaxially connected from top to bottom. The driving section has a drive shaft that drives a central axis of the grinding section. The drive shaft is connected to a gear set that increases the gear ratio to facilitate manual grinding. The grinding section comprises an upper grinding section and a lower grinding section that are coaxially disposed and mated together. The upper and lower grinding portions include corresponding blades extending therefrom. The bottom section of the lower grinding section has one or more holes in communication with the discharge section. The driving section and the upper grinding section are magnetically attracted and connected to each other and the upper grinding section and the lower grinding section are magnetically attracted and connected to each other.
