The fins are spaced on the main body so as to not interfere with paths of travel of a plurality free-swinging shredding hammers of the rotor assembly within the rotor chamber. The plurality of fins radially overlap at least one path of travel of the plurality of free-swinging shredding hammers.

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.

The comminution device (100) according to the invention comprises a feed opening (10) for feeding material to be comminuted, a comminution shaft (20) for comminuting the material fed to the device, and a cutting chamber (30), arranged between the feed opening (10) and the comminution shaft (20) and delimited by a cutting chamber wall (40a, 40b). The comminution device according to the invention is characterized in that the cutting chamber wall (40a) can be pivoted. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.

A waste processing machine for reducing waste material and having a safety device for shearing lines. A housing defines a cutting chamber and an intake opening in communication with the cutting chamber for receiving waste material. A disc is disposed in the cutting chamber, rotates about an axis, and has an axial surface facing the intake opening. A cutting member is fixed to the disc for revolution about the axis concurrent with rotation of the disc for reducing waste material. A cutting anvil is coupled to the housing adjacent to the intake opening and faces the axial surface of the disc for reducing waste material between the cutting anvil and the cutting member. A line shear element is attached to the housing, extends into the cutting chamber toward the axial surface of the disc, and is spaced from the cutting anvil for shearing lines caught by the rotating disc.
