A shredder cassette of a shredder lubrication is disclosed. The shredder cassette includes a cassette housing and at least two shredding shafts arranged in parallel and rotatably mounted in the cassette housing. A first set of fingers are arranged between the cassette housing and a first shredding shaft, and a second set of fingers are arranged between the cassette housing and a second shredding shaft. At least one of the first set of fingers and the second set of fingers includes finger lubricating channels for lubricating the at least two shredding shafts.

A secondary shredder can include a rotor assembly that employs a modular rotor design. Each rotor of the rotor assembly can include a number of blades that are symmetrical around a horizontal and a vertical axis. Each rotor can include a number of radial extensions forming gaps into which the blades insert. The blades can be secured within the gaps by wedges that apply an inward force against the blades when the wedges are secured into the gaps. The radial extensions and blades can include keyways into which keys insert to prevent the blades from escaping the gaps. The secondary shredder may also include a stationary knife assembly that includes multiple stationary knives that are positioned on the same side of the rotor assembly.

A machine for shredding inorganic waste is described, comprising: first loading means; a shredding chamber; second shredding means; third unloading means; fourth electronic control means; fifth means for limiting the resisting torque applied to the motor, in such a way as to avoid current absorption that exceeds the capacity of the power supply network, said fifth means comprising one or more mobile elementsand a plurality of blades. A method for operating the machine is also described.

A drum for a precision chipper, said chipping device comprising: a shaft on which the drum is arranged, wherein cutting tools are provided on the outer circumference of the drum in blade holders, which cutting tools are used to chop the material to be chipped; at least one distancing piece, which has a support surface or contact surface for the material to be chipped on the drum, the height of which distancing piece being used to determine the chip size, wherein the vertical position of the distancing piece on the drum can be set or adjusted. The distancing piece, when viewed in cross-section, has an approximately T-shaped form such that it can be placed on the outer edge of the drum disk by means of a positively locking surface of the distancing piece, said surface being formed on the face pointing towards the drum by the inner radius of the distancing piece.

Method and apparatus for transforming organic and inorganic solid urban waste into aggregates, comprising an extruding machine connected to a reactor. The extruding machine is formed by an extrusion cylinder through which a piston circulates inside an extrusion cavity, which comprises three sections and is fed with a parget obtained after pre-processing the waste. The end of the third section is connected to the reactor through an opening. The reactors longitudinal shaft is formed by a rotatory steel shaft in which some steel blades are arranged, whose ends play the roles of cutting, hammering, punching and hydraulic helix as they rotate. Between the end of the blades and the wall of the reactor, there is a clearance of more than 0.1 mm of thickness. The reactor has a discharge valve to discharge the parget present in the boundary area through some openings, once it has been processed by a series of pressure, vibration energy and decompression cycles.

Ways of obtaining a mineral rich powder from an electronic waste substrate include a shredder configured to receive the electronic waste substrate and process the electronic waste substrate into a plurality of fragments. A mill is provided that includes a container configured to receive the plurality of fragments, the container including a milling media, the mill configured to abrade the plurality of fragments with the milling media to produce a milled product. A separator is provided that is configured to receive the milled product, where the separator is configured to apply a predetermined size selection to the milled product to provide a first output including a plurality of particles and a second output including a plurality of abraded fragments. A skid is coupled to and provides structural support for the shredder, the mill, and the separator.

A waste management system for plastic or other material floating on the surface and in the subsurface of a body of water. A shredding device will reduce the size of the particles of waste. Ocean water is removed by a drying device. The dried waste material is frozen to a temperature at or below minus fifty degrees Fahrenheit, using liquid nitrogen or other suitable means. The frozen waste material is then pulverized and ground into a powder. The powder may then be sprayed into a gas-filled chamber and heated. Temperature, pressure and humidity are maintained within the chamber for more than one minute. Microwave or other radiation and catalysts may be used to enhance the process of extraction. The processed material is then removed from the chamber. Carbon may be recycled or used as fuel by the ship. Water may be used by the ship or returned to the ocean.
