The inlet end is configured to receive compressed loosefill insulation material. The machine also includes a lower unit. The lower unit has a shredding chamber with a plurality of shredders configured to condition the loosefill insulation material thereby forming conditioned loosefill insulation material. The plurality of shredders is driven by one or more motors. A discharge mechanism is mounted to receive the loosefill insulation material. The discharge mechanism is configured to distribute the conditioned loosefill insulation material into an airstream. A blower is configured to provide the airstream flowing through the discharge mechanism. A sound chamber is configured to receive the one or more motors and further configured to reduce the sound rating emanating from the machine.

The present disclosure is generally related to an apparatus having cutter elements for destroying articles such as paper sheets and a mechanism for separating at least a sheet from a stack in a tray. A paper feed mechanism feeds paper that is separated from the stack by a stack separation mechanism to the cutter elements. The feed and separation mechanisms can be activated by rotation of the cutter elements. In one embodiment, the stack separation mechanism moves in an alternating manner between retracted and extended positions to disengage and engage and insert the stack to separate (with its edge) paper therefrom to feed to the feed mechanism for shredding. The paper stack separation mechanism can move in an non-undulating manner relative to the stack. A device for stripping stapled pages, a pivotable support plate, and pressure plate can also be used, as well as a number of sensors.

A milling system to comminute a material may generally include a hopper feeder system, a cutting mill, a collection system, each in fluid communication to provide a flow path, and a control system. The control system may include a controller operatively connected to at least one sensor to sense the amount of material, if any, along the flow path, and the speed, if any, of the material along the flow path. The control system, in response to signals received from the at least one sensor, may cause at least one of the hopper feeder, cutting mill, and collection system to increase the speed, decrease the speed, or stop the flow of material along at least a portion of the flow path. Methods of making and using the same are also described.

A pulverizer includes a support frame, a stator, and a rotor. The stator is connected to the support frame and has a stator pulverizing surface. The rotor is connected to the support frame and has a rotor pulverizing surface, and the rotor is rotatable. The stator pulverizing surface is opposite to the rotor pulverizing surface, a pulverizing chamber is formed between the stator pulverizing surface and the rotor pulverizing surface, and a distance between the stator pulverizing surface and the rotor pulverizing surface is adjustable.

A material reduction machine includes an infeed chute and a processing portion. The infeed chute has a plurality of guide walls. The processing portion is coupled to the infeed chute. The processing portion has a rotatable cutting mechanism configured to receive material from the infeed chute along a feed axis. The infeed chute is rotatable relative to the processing portion about an axis parallel to the feed axis between an operational configuration and a transport configuration.

A high crushing efficiency medical waste treatment machine includes a crushing cylinder, a crushing knife set provided at the bottom of the crushing cylinder, an intermittent material discharge mechanism set on one side of the crushing knife set, a pressurizing mechanism slidingly set along the axis of the crushing cylinder on the other side of the crushing knife set. The pressurizing mechanism includes a mounting frame slidingly connected to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder, the mounting frame rotatably connected to a material tumbling plate made of magnetic material; when the intermittent material discharging mechanism discharges material, the pressurizing mechanism moving in a direction close to the crushing knife set; when the intermittent material discharges mechanism stops discharging material, the material tumbling plate rotates.

A plant for grinding a product, which includes a grinder in which the product is ground, which plant also includes a hopper for supplying the grinder with product to be ground, configured to be supplied with product to be ground; a means for bringing a cryogenic fluid into the hopper; and a means for discharging product from the hopper into the grinder. Wherein the hopper is provided in a lower part with a hollow screw provided with turns allowing the product to be discharged out of the hopper, into the grinder; and the means for bringing a cryogenic fluid into the hopper comprise an injection lance which is positioned inside the turns of the hollow screw, extending in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the screw.

A mulcher includes a hopper, having an inlet end and an outlet end, the hopper configured to receive vegetative debris via the inlet end; a chipper unit having an outer casing and an inlet passing therethrough, the inlet connected to the hopper outlet end to in use receive the vegetative debris within the casing, the chipper unit further comprising a cutting means located within the casing and configured to chip and/or mulch vegetative debris within the chipper unit; an outlet grid, the chipper unit and outlet grid configured so that the outlet grid forms an outlet for the vegetative debris within the casing, the outlet grid 13 and cutting means mutually configured so that the grid is located substantially directly adjacent to the cutting means in use, the cutting means configured so that in use at least part of the vegetative debris is forced through the outlet grid.

A device to reduce solid state drives (SSD) and the like digital media storage devices into particles less than 2 mm maximum edge length. The device is particularly adapted to disintegrating 1.8 and 2.5 solid state drives at a rate of about 360 HDD/hr or 720 SSD/hr with a throughput of about 10 seconds. A blade assembly is designed to provide multiple cutting angles while rotating at 520 rpm to maintain a low decibel rating.

A plastic-dedicated shredder according to the present invention includes at least a hopper, a shredder housing located below the hopper, and a base to which the shredder housing is fixed. The shredder housing includes at least a lower hosing and an upper housing that can open and close. The shredder housing includes a rotation blade support. A rotation blade is fixed to the lower housing and arranged in a shredding chamber of the rotation blade support. The rotation blade support includes a blade support main body and a blade support segment that are separable from each other. The blade support segment is configured to be movable relative to the blade support main body to open and close the shredding chamber. In the present invention, the rotation blade support is divided into two parts, the blade support main body and the blade support segment. When cleaning the shredding chamber, the blade support segment is moved to open the shredding chamber of the rotation blade support and thoroughly clean and remove residues from the shredding chamber.
