A machine for distributing loosefill insulation material from a package of compressed loosefill insulation material. The machine includes a chute having an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end receives compressed loosefill insulation material. The chute has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion forms an angle with the second portion. A shredding chamber receives the compressed loosefill insulation material from the chute. The shredding chamber forms conditioned loosefill insulation material. A discharge mechanism is configured to distribute the conditioned loosefill insulation material into an airstream. A blower provides the airstream. The angle between the first and second portions of the chute is configured to form a bend in the package of compressed loosefill insulation material. The bend in the package of compressed loosefill insulation material is configured to control the descent and direction of the loosefill insulation material entering the shredding chamber.

A vegetable knife includes a pulverizing coring pin for pulverizing a core of a vegetable, where the pulverizing coring pin can be a generally cylindrical tube. The pulverizing coring pin can define one or more pulverizing tubes that extend from a first end of the pulverizing coring pin to a second end of the pulverizing coring pin opposite the first end. The vegetable knife also includes at least one vegetable shaping blade that extends radially outwardly from the pulverizing coring pin, where the at least one vegetable shaping blade supports the pulverizing coring pin at a location generally central with respect to the vegetable knife. The vegetable knife may also include an outer flange for coupling the vegetable knife to a rotatable cutting assembly. The vegetable shaping blade can be connected between the outer flange and the pulverizing coring pin for supporting the pulverizing coring pin.

To improve operating efficiency of a dry grinding machine, the dry grinding machine includes a rotating shaft; a first blade that is rotationally driven by the rotating shaft; a grinding chamber that houses the first blade; a feed-in section that feeds material to be processed, which is transported by hot air into the grinding chamber from a direction intersecting the rotating shaft; and a discharging section that is arranged on a side of the first blade opposite the feed-in section, in an axial direction of the rotating shaft, and discharges from the grinding chamber, along with the hot air, the material to be processed that has been ground by the first blade while being dried by the hot air fed in from the feed-in section.

A machine for distributing material from a package of compressed loosefill insulation material is provided. The machine includes a chute having an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is configured to receive compressed loosefill insulation material. A lower unit has a shredding chamber configured to receive the compressed loosefill insulation material from the outlet end of the chute. The shredding chamber includes a plurality of shredders configured to condition the loosefill insulation material. The shredders include a shredder shaft and a plurality of vane assemblies. The vane assemblies are oriented such that adjacent vane assemblies are offset from each other by an angle of about 45° to about 75°. A discharge mechanism receives the loosefill insulation material exiting the shredding chamber and distributes the loosefill insulation material into an airstream and a blower is configured to provide the airstream flowing through the discharge mechanism.

A material reduction machine includes an infeed portion operable to receive material to be reduced, and a cutting mechanism operable to reduce material fed in from the infeed portion. An outlet chute has a first end operable to receive the material reduced by the cutting mechanism and a second end operable to discharge the reduced material from the machine, wherein the outlet chute extends along a curved path. The outlet chute includes, along a radially-inner side of the curved path, a foraminous interior wall providing communication with a sound attenuation layer.

A wood chipper including: a base frame; an engine provided to the base frame; a reduction chamber provided to the base frame, the reduction chamber comprising a rotor, a reduction chamber input and a reduction chamber output, wherein the rotor is driven by the engine; a feeder input configured to provide input material to the reduction chamber input; a discharge chamber provided in communication with the reduction chamber output; a fan configured to draw air and comminuted material through the discharge chamber away from the reduction chamber and push the comminuted material out of the fan.

The disclosure extends to apparatuses, methods, and systems, for producing frozen confections and conditioning ice for use in frozen confections. A frozen confection machine includes a hopper portion for receiving ice into an interior, and a motor configured to rotate a drive shaft, a blade to condition the ice in the hopper during rotation of the motor. The frozen confection machine also includes a lid for selectively covering the interior of the hopper, a bias member for biasing the lid away from a closed position, and a switch for causing the motor to actuate in response to the lid being pressed to a closed position.

An ammunition disposal system having a chute access portion; a collection chamber attached such that a chute access portion interior cavity is in fluid communication with a collection chamber interior cavity; a shredder assembly attached such that the collection chamber interior cavity is in fluid communication with a shredder assembly interior cavity, with one or more shredder blade assemblies positioned within the shredder assembly interior cavity; a hopper attached such that the shredder assembly interior cavity is in fluid communication with a hopper interior cavity; an extractor attached such that the hopper interior cavity is in fluid communication with an extractor interior cavity, and wherein an auger is positioned within at least a portion of the extractor interior cavity; and a liquid contained within at least a portion of the collection chamber interior cavity, the shredder assembly interior cavity, the hopper interior cavity, and the extractor interior cavity.

An integrated grinding and storage system for optimizing and enhancing plant performance for plant-based medical therapies and related uses of cannabis including an apparatus for grinding that includes a head operable to be removably attached to a receptacle or container. The head includes a magnet, an upper, inner grinding element, a lower grinding element, a shaft, and a neck sleeve. The upper, inner grinding element is in communication with the lower grinding element within the head. The grinding elements are operable to rotate relative to each other. The shaft extends between the upper and lower sections and magnetically couples with the grinding elements and orients them in relation to one another. The head may be manually or electrically activated.
