Apparatuses and methods for milling bone

A bone mill includes a housing, at least a first bone milling tool, a proximal bearing sleeve, and a distal bearing sleeve. The housing defines a work chamber. The work chamber has a first axial end, a second axial end, a feed input opening, and an output opening. The bone milling tool is configured to be disposed within the work chamber, and extends at least from a first axial end to the second axial chamber. The proximal bearing sleeve is supported by the housing proximate the first axial end, and a distal bearing sleeve supported by the housing proximate the second axial end. The proximal bearing sleeve and the distal bearing sleeve support the bone milling tool and allow rotation of the bone milling tool within the work chamber about an axis.

SHREDDING ARRANGEMENT WITH INFEED ROLLER
20230219099 · 2023-07-13 ·

A shredding arrangement for shredding material to be shredded, such as household waste, industrial waste, plastics, wood, paper and/or biomass, comprising a shredding device, which is arranged on a machine frame, and a supply device having at least one infeed roller drivable to rotate using an associated drive device for supplying the material to be shredded to the shredding device. The shredding arrangement is distinguished in that the infeed roller is configured to accommodate the associated drive device, and the drive device has an electric motor, gearing, and a flexible coupling.

DOMESTIC SHREDDER FOR PLASTIC PRODUCTS
20230219098 · 2023-07-13 ·

A shredding assembly for tearing a plastic article, such as waste bottles into pieces or pellets. The shredding assembly includes rails that can be installed at a height and a shredder. The shredder includes a housing mounted on the rails and can slide from a stowed position to over one or more trash bins. The shredder includes two rollers mounted within the housing and a drive mechanism for counter-rotating the two rollers.

A WOOD CHIPPER
20230211354 · 2023-07-06 ·

A chipper includes a hopper and a chipper unit. The hopper is configured to receive vegetative debris via an inlet end. The chipper unit has an outer casing and an inlet passing therethrough. The inlet of the chipper unit is connected to the outlet end of the hopper to in use receive the vegetative debris within the outer casing. The chipper unit includes a cutter located which is configured to chip vegetative debris. The hopper and the outer casing are configured so that the hopper and outer casing can be moved between a position where the hopper is substantially vertical and a position where the hopper is substantially horizontal.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REPLACING A ROTOR IN A MACHINE FOR GRINDING AND CHIPPING
20230211353 · 2023-07-06 ·

A horizontal grinder chipper with interchangeable rotors which allows for rapid changing of said interchangeable rotors. Where the interchangeable rotors each are in the form of a cassette which can be easily inserted into and in between a first frame portion 1302 and a second frame portion 1303. A hydraulically actuated pivoting clamshell cassette covering upper portion 920 configured to pivot to an open orientation for removal of a first rotor cassette and for insertion of a second rotor cassette.

SYSTEM FOR DEMOLITION OF BLADE OF WIND TURBINE AND RELATED METHOD
20230211391 · 2023-07-06 ·

The system and method of processing a used wind turbine blade provides for processing of a blade at the site of the windmill rather than transporting the blade to a processing facility. The blade may be held stationary while a cutter, such as a drum or plate with cutting teeth, is moved along a portion of the blade to shred the blade. This shredding may occur within a cutting chamber. The blade may be fed into the cutting chamber with a feeder. Smaller particles may be removed or filtered from the air within the cutting chamber and larger particles may be removed and collected in a receptacle. Portions of or the entire system may be made mobile by mounting or otherwise connecting the system to a mobile support, such as a trailer.

Adaptive architecture solids diverter and comminutor

A system for comminuting solid waste material including a shredding device disposed within the casing and comprising parallel first and second shredding stacks that include first and second parallel shafts rotatably mounted between an upper shredding device housing and a lower shredding device housing and a rotating screening drum disposed within the casing and mounted between an upper screening drum housing and a lower screening drum housing, the rotating screening drum configured to permit fluid to pass therethrough while capturing solids on an outer surface for delivery to shredding device, an upstream portion of the rotating screening drum disposed upstream of an upstream portion of the shredding device. The upper shredding device housing and the lower screening device housing are separate members from the upper screening drum housing and the lower screening drum housing to permit interchangeability of different sizes of these components to meet system needs.
