A sheet manufacturing system includes a sheet manufacturing apparatus that decomposes a document, and a server apparatus that manages a process status of the document, in which the sheet manufacturing apparatus includes a read unit that reads identification information attached to the document, a processing unit that decomposes the document the identification information of which was read by the read unit and that is determined to be suitable for a decomposing process, a determination unit that determines that the document was decomposed by the processing unit, and a first communication unit that transmits to the server apparatus the identification information of the document determined by the determination unit to have been decomposed by the processing unit.

An herbal grinding device has a housing. A chute is formed through the housing. A shredding mechanism is positioned within the chute. The shredding mechanism moves an herbal product through the chute while shredding the herbal product. The shredding mechanism is heated to prevent resin from the herbal product from sticking to the shredding mechanism.

An improvement kit for heavy duty grinders to process thick wastes in commercial and residential applications made of a two directional cutter having a two-blade cutter edge, a multi aperture die cup, a shaft for pump with an anti-rotational feature, a mimicking component for mimicking three phase drive to a motor stator on the pump, a control board/panel and circuitry and wiring to interconnect the components and a stator winding that allows the kit to provide a grinding solution for contamination including common household trash, a contraband material used in methamphetamine and opioid addictions, a fibrous product including wet wipes with nylon products, and heavy materials that can cause a typical grinding system to be “jetted” which requires continual maintenance and costly repairs.

The present invention relates to a food waste disposer that is configured to allow an opening and closing plate adapted to open and close a drain pipe to be open only when a motor operates, so that normally, the drain pipe from which water is discharged is closed, thereby preventing bad smell and sewage from flowing backward from the drain pipe, to allow a propeller adapted to forcedly discharge the water from a casing to the drain pipe to be driven reversely and to thus close the opening and closing plate if the motor is driven reversely, so that gears inside a pulverizing part rotate to circulate the water in the casing and thus to automatically clean the casing, without any separation of the casing, and to allow a magnetic material to be built in a hopper so that if iron introduced into the hopper is sensed by sensors, the pulverizing part stops working and is thus prevented from being damaged by the iron.

A chipping machine includes a debarking assembly, a chipper assembly, and a log advance system to conveys logs through the chipping machine and into contact with the debarking assembly and chipper assembly. A rotating chipper disk cuts chips from the log. A housing encloses the chipper disc and includes a spout that provides an exit path for chips out of the housing. The chipper assembly includes a first path for collecting bark and directing bark out of the machine. A second path that is separate from the first path collects trash and directs the collected trash to first path and out of the machine. An inlet of the second path is an opening formed in a base of the housing. The second path includes a chute onto which trash falls and then slides under the force of gravity to the first path.

An accumulation device that is operable in a feeding arrangement of a granulator, for accumulating flat material to be granulated, includes a first guiding device and a second guiding device. The accumulation device further includes a rotational shaft arranged to connect the accumulation device to the feeding arrangement. The first and the second guiding device are fixedly arranged in relation to each other so that when the accumulation device is rotated around its rotational shaft, the first guiding device as well as the second guiding device is rotated around the rotational shaft. A feeding arrangement and a granulator including such an accumulator device are also provided.

Systems for shredding fibrous material are described. In some embodiments, the system includes a cart that includes a hopper that includes an auger motor for shredding fibrous material and a blower motor configured to blow the shredded fibrous material onto structures for fireproofing. The cart may include a handle, one or more wheels, and/or forklift apertures to aid in transport.

Disclosed is an accumulation device (150) operable in a feeding arrangement (110) of a granulator, for accumulating substantially flat material to be granulated. The accumulation device (150) comprises a first guiding device (152) and a second guiding device (154). The accumulation device (150) further comprises a rotational shaft (156) arranged to connect the accumulation device (150) to the feeding arrangement (110). The first and the second guiding device (152, 154) are fixedly arranged in relation to each other so that when the accumulation device (150) is rotated around its rotational shaft, the first guiding device (152) as well as the second guiding device (154) is rotated around the rotational shaft (156). Disclosed are further a feeding arrangement (110) and a granulator comprising such an accumulator device (150).

A shredding assembly for a grinder pump includes a stationary shredding ring mounted to an inlet of the pump, and a cutting device rotatable about an axial direction and fixed to a shaft of the pump. The shredding ring includes a top face, a bottom face, and a central opening extending from the top face to the bottom face and delimited in a radial direction by an inner periphery. Slots extending in the axial direction are formed in the inner periphery. The cutting device is positioned in the central opening of the shredding ring, and includes a front face and a back face. The front face includes a plurality of first cutting members extending in the axial direction and facing the slots. The back face includes a second cutting member projecting beyond the central opening with respect to the radial direction.

A waste destruction device for sharps, needles and solid waste preferably includes a material intake member, a destruction device and a storage member. The material intake member includes an intake housing and an intake cover. The intake cover pivots from an open to a closed orientation to receive objects to be shredded. At least one microprocessor board is used to control devices of the waste destruction device. The waste destruction device preferably includes a cutter housing, a first cutter member, a second cutter member, a cutter motor and a cutter intake housing. The waste destruction device preferably contains disinfection devices for disinfecting thereof. The storage member preferably includes a storage housing, a container drawer and a waste container. The container drawer is slidably received by the storage housing.
