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.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for winnowing. In one aspect, a method includes loading an initial material into a winnowing system via a feed member; feeding the material into a fluidically accelerated winnowing cavity, where the initial material impacts at least one plate member to yield chaff material and processed material, and where the processed material and the chaff material circulate in the winnowing cavity; and separating the chaff material and the processed from the winnowing cavity based on density. Other aspects include yielding intermediate material, where the intermediate material reimpacts the at least one plate member until yielding chaff material and processed material, preprocessing the initial material, controlling the flow of initial material into the winnowing cavity with a feed gate, where the chaff material egresses the winnowing cavity via a chaff chute, where the chaff material collects in a collection cavity, and/or more.
