A device for comminuting feedstock with a rotor which is disposed within a housing and rotates about an axis of rotation and is equipped over its circumference with comminuting tools. A ring disc is attached to front sides of the rotor in each case concentrically to the axis of rotation. The removal of the sufficiently comminuted material occurs via a screen deck extending over part of the rotor circumference. On axial front sides of the screen deck an arcuate sealing element following the outer circumference of the ring disc is disposed in each case, the element which to form a sealing gap in the plane of the ring disc lies radially opposite to the disc. The sealing effect of the sealing gap between the screen deck and rotor uniformly over the entire length is successfully achieved in this way.

A material reducing machine includes a rotary reducing drum that is rotatable about an axis of rotation and defines a reducing boundary that extends at least partially around the axis of rotation. The material reducing machine includes an infeed conveyor for transporting material to a front portion of the rotary reducing drum and defines a conveyor plane. The material reducing machine includes a mill box at least partially surrounding the rotary reducing drum and including a mill box lid mounted generally above the rotary reducing drum. The mill box lid has an inlet edge positioned above a rear portion of the rotary reducing drum and an outlet edge positioned above the front portion of the rotary reducing drum. The mill box includes an infeed opening that is configured to receive material from a feed table and has an upper opening defined by the outlet edge of the mill box lid.

A comminuting plant with a comminuting machine for reducing the grain size of a mineral substance, the comminuting machine having a machine housing and at least one displacement apparatus, the machine housing having at least one housing wall with reinforcing ribs, and the displacement apparatus being fastened to the housing wall and being movable into a displacement position, in which the comminuting machine can be displaced, standing on a support element of the displacement apparatus, and into a standing position, in which the comminuting machine stands in a stationary manner. The object of the invention is to provide a comminuting plant with compact displacement apparatus which can be displaced with short maintenance times. This is achieved in that the housing wall has at least one cut-out formed for the installation of the displacement apparatus so that the displacement apparatus can be integrated at least largely into the housing wall.

A crushing machine construction kit for the construction of a crushing machine contains a drive device and a frame of a crushing device. The crushing machine construction kit further contains at least two shear shafts and at least two shredder shafts for the selective configuration of the crushing machine as a rotary shear or as a rotary shredder. A method converts the rotary shredder into the rotary shear.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and desiccated product. This can be accomplished using a bucket assembly that can grind, paddle, and heat organic matter contained therein. An air treatment system is provided to treat the air interacting with the organic matter.

A shredding module of a shredding apparatus is disclosed. The shredding module includes a shredder cassette receiver and a shredder cassette received within the shredder cassette receiver. The shredding cassette includes two shredding shafts arranged in parallel and rotatable about respective rotation axes, and two sets of fingers that cooperate with the two shredding shafts to shred material. The shredder cassette is slidably movable in an axial direction of the respective rotation axes into and out of the shredder cassette receiver.

A rotational shredder apparatus suited for properly rendering sensitive material into un-recognizable and inert waste is presented. The rotational shredder apparatus consists of a twin chamber shredder with rotary mechanism, where the rotational shredder apparatus is configured to shred sensitive material into un-recognizable and inert waste. More specifically, unprocessed waste is inserted into one of the chambers. The unprocessed waste is then passed through the shredder. The rotary mechanism then flips the twin chamber shredder such that the shredded waste from the first chamber is then directed back into the shredder, where the second chamber receives the further shredded waste. This process is repeated until the sensitive material is rendered into un-recognizable and inert waste suitable for disposal.

A device for comminuting pourable feedstock as well as a method for opening a device of this type. The device includes a housing, which encloses a comminution chamber, in which a rotor rotating around a rotation axis is arranged, the rotor being equipped with rotor tools over its circumference. A sieve holder, whose sieve extends along a circumferential section of the rotor, is used to separate the sufficiently comminuted material. The feedstock supplied to the rotor via a material infeed is removed from the device via a material discharge after being sufficiently comminuted. To improve accessibility to the interior of the device, it is proposed that, to open the housing, the sieve holder is pivotable around a first pivot axis from a closed first position into an open second position and additionally around a second pivot axis into a third position.

Provided is a food waste disposer. The food waste disposer according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes: a housing; a grinder detachably installed inside the housing and configured to grind food waste accommodated therein; and a deodorizer positioned to a side of the grinder, and configured to suck a smell generated from the grinder and discharge the smell to outside of the housing, wherein the grinder includes: a grinding case; a rotating grinder including a plurality of blades rotatably installed at different heights inside the grinding case; and a wall grinder including a protrusion protruding inward from the grinding case at a different height from the plurality of blades, the wall grinder detachably installed on a side wall of the grinding case.

A low speed low power shredder for biomass material a single drum or two spaced rotary drums supported in a housing having a cylindrical wall with a plurality of outward shear members spaced longitudinally and radially of the cylindrical wall so as to pass a cooperating element in a shearing action. The shear members form ends of a support plate extending diametrically through the wall so as to provide structural support. In the two drum system, a top grate member is mounted in the feed throat and a bottom grate member is provided underneath the plane of closest approach. Each of these grate members provide shearing actions with the shear members. Additionally, a composting machine is arranged to be fed by a shredder, and thus includes an input conveyor supported at a position coaxial with a rotary vessel of the composter and a tubular support member which defines one location at which the rotary vessel is supported in its rotation about its axis.
