A crusher for rubble includes a crushing chamber in which the nibbles are ground, a grinding group inserted in the crushing chamber to grind the rubble, and a conveying channel of the rubble into the grinding group. The crusher includes two or more pushers, which act in the conveying channel toward the grinding group to push the rubble against the grinding group, and which are controlled separately from each other, so to be place one or more of the pushers at rest separately when one or more of the other ones are actuated.

An apparatus for comminuting solid waste material is provided an includes a casing defining a comminution chamber and being open on opposite sides thereof for permitting the flow of liquid therethrough and a comminutor assembly including cooperating substantially parallel first and second shredding stacks. The comminutor assembly includes first and second parallel shafts rotabably mounted, each including a plurality of cutting elements mounted on said first shaft in interspaced relationship with a plurality of second cutting elements mounted on said second shaft, the cutting elements being positioned between and separated in an axial direction by spacers which are coplanar with the cutting elements of the adjacent stack such that a cutting element from one stack and a spacer from the other stack form a pair of interactive shredding members, wherein the at least one cutting tooth has a plurality of serrations, a tapered profile or a bi-level profile.

One aspect relates to a crushing device with a comb system, wherein the crushing device includes at least one crushing roller rotatably mounted in a machine frame with at least one crushing tool arranged thereon, wherein the crushing device comprises at least one counter blade which cooperates with the crushing tool, wherein the comb system includes at least one base comb on which the at least one counter blade is arranged and on which at least one screening element can be arranged as a component of a screening device. The screening device during use at least partly encloses the crushing roller and the screening element is spring-mounted with a suspension on the base comb. The suspension includes an end position limit.

A material processing machine for material reducing operations. The material processing machine comprises an infeed system, a reducing system, and a discharge system. The reducing system comprises a rotor having processing tools to reduce the material within a reducing chamber. A colorizer system directs colorant from a colorant source towards the material reducing system within an outlet zone. The colorant colorizes the material being reduced within an inlet zone. The reduced material may be discharged through one or more screens within the outlet zone such that negligible colorant is applied directly to the reduced material. The material reducing operations may comprise a two-stage reducing operation in which the colorizer system is inoperable for the first stage and operable for the second stage. The screens may be selectively interchangeable between stages to incrementally reduce the material to provide substantially uniform colorizing and material size.

A waste destruction device for sharps, needles and solid waste preferably includes a material intake member, a destruction device and a storage member. The material intake member includes an intake housing and an intake cover. The intake cover pivots from an open to a closed orientation to receive objects to be shredded. At least one microprocessor board is used to control devices of the waste destruction device. The waste destruction device preferably includes a cutter housing, a first cutter member, a second cutter member, a cutter motor and a cutter intake housing. The waste destruction device preferably contains disinfection devices for disinfecting thereof. The storage member preferably includes a storage housing, a container drawer and a waste container. The container drawer is slidably received by the storage housing.

A waste shredding device including at least one shredding shaft; an internal combustion engine; a first and a second powertrain between the internal combustion engine and the shredding shaft; at least one energy converter coupled to the internal combustion engine in the first powertrain for converting mechanical energy of the internal combustion engine into storable energy; and at least one auxiliary motor supplied with the storable energy in the first powertrain for introducing mechanical energy into the first powertrain. The waste shredding device additionally includes an energy store for storing at least part of the storable energy in the event of periods with low power demand and for at least partially supplying the at least one auxiliary motor with the storable energy in the event of periods of high power demand.

A cutting module for cutting a strand into individual pieces, the cutting module comprising a rotatable cutter wheel and a rotatable cot wheel, the cutter wheel being rotatable and having cutting blades, the cot wheel having a cylindrical outer surface and being rotatable parallel at a distance from the cutter wheel, such that cutting edges of the cutting blades contact the outer surface of the cot wheel successively in use, so that a strand which is fed between the cutter wheel and the cot wheel is cut into individual pieces, each of the cutting blades being designed such that a cutting force is directed through the cutting blade.

A dual-shaft shredder for comminuting solids or solids in liquids comprises a housing defining an interior comminuting space, an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a first and second cutting disc block each having a plurality of cutting discs disposed on a hub body such that an intermediate space is present between each two adjacent cutting discs. Some of the first cutting discs each engage in the intermediate space between two adjacent second cutting discs and some of the second cutting discs each engage in the intermediate space between two adjacent first cutting discs. A first shaft stub and a second shaft stub extend into an axial recess of the first and second cutting disc blocks for transmitting torques, and a first clamping device and a second clamping device clamp the shaft stubs against the cutting disc blocks.

A mobile shredder for metal materials comprising a feeding device, a shredding mill with a plurality of hammers associated with a rotor, and a removal device and an actuating device are provided, wherein: the feeding device comprises a hopper and a shredder with a first toothed roller and a second toothed roller that rotates in the opposite direction to that of the first roller and at a greater speed. The actuating device comprises a single motor. A control system is also provided with a plurality of hydraulic pumps for moving the rollers and a hydraulic clutch with a variable flow for moving the rotor, the plurality of hydraulic pumps and the hydraulic clutch being joined to the motor.
