A machine for shredding inorganic waste is described, comprising: first loading means; a shredding chamber; second shredding means; third unloading means; fourth electronic control means; fifth means for limiting the resisting torque applied to the motor, in such a way as to avoid current absorption that exceeds the capacity of the power supply network, said fifth means comprising one or more mobile elementsand a plurality of blades. A method for operating the machine is also described.

A comminuting device for solids-conducting liquids includes a housing with an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a housing interior extending from the inlet opening to the outlet opening, a first comminuting shaft extending through the housing interior and arranged to rotate about a first comminuting axis. A second comminuting shaft extends through the housing interior and is arranged to rotate about a second comminuting axis. A screening device has a screening wall comprising a plurality of slots arranged in the housing interior adjacent to the first comminuting shaft. A clearing device has a plurality of clearing elements which can be moved relative to the screening wall along a movement path and which extend through the plurality of slots starting from a clearing shaft arranged on one side of the filter wall to at least one portion of the movement path.

A control method of a crusher for elements to be recycled or disposed of, which includes a crushing assembly, to which the elements to be recycled or disposed of are provided, and pushers acting toward the crushing assembly to push the elements to be recycled or disposed of, includes a measuring step of the current absorbed by the crusher, a comparing step of the current value measured against a first predetermined value, and a reducing step of the push intensity of one or more of the pushers toward the crushing assembly in case the measured current exceeds the first predetermined value, the pushers being controlled separately from each other in order to partialize the push force and the push areas.

A method for comminuting kitchen waste and/or food residues includes receiving kitchen waste and/or food residues in a funnel, a base of which is provided with a grinding unit for comminuting the kitchen waste and/or food residues and which is connected by the grinding unit via a product line to a pump for pumping away comminuted kitchen waste and/or food residues, and pumping away the kitchen waste and/or food residues comminuted by the grinding unit. Prior to the pumping-away step, precomminution of the kitchen waste and/or food residues located in the funnel is carried out in the funnel by means of a precomminution unit projecting into the funnel. A correspondingly designed device for implementing the method is also described.

A paper scrap pushing structure of a paper shredder, including a rotating shaft, a paper pushing rod, and connecting rods, in which the rotating shaft is arranged under a paper outlet, and is in linkage with a paper shredder cutter shaft through a synchronous transmission device. The paper pushing rod is located on one side of the rotating shaft, arranged in the length direction of the rotating shaft in parallel and connected with the rotating shaft through the connecting rods. The distance from the paper pushing rod to the rotating shaft is smaller than the distance from the lowest portion of the paper shredder cutter shaft to the rotating shaft. When rotating, the rotating shaft drives the paper pushing rod to move in a circumferential direction through the connecting rods, removing paper scraps at the top of a paper scrap pile in a shredded paper waste bin.

A device for separating plants and plant byproduct, the device comprising: a housing; a basin located in the housing, the basin configured to hold plant material; at least one rotating arm located in the basin; a shelf located below and adjacent to the basin, the shelf comprising a plurality of shelf holes; a blade configured to cut material extending below the shelf through the shelf holes; a first sieve located below and generally adjacent the shelf, the sieve containing a plurality of holes of a first sieve hole size; and a bottom container located below the sieve.

A device for shredding material has a shredding rotor, which revolves about an axis of rotation and supports at least one blade, and a first counter-blade which cooperates with the blade of the shredding rotor. A feed plate is provided here, which is mounted to be rotatable about a pivot axis and which is connected to an actuator, in particular to an electric motor, so that, with the aid of the actuator, the feed plate can be brought into a feed position, in which the material to be shredded can lie on a first main surface of the feed plate and can slide along this in the direction of the shredding rotor, and into a first pressing position in which the material to be shredded is likewise pressed with the first main surface of the feed plate against the shredding rotor and shredded between the blade and the first counter-blade.

A control method of a crusher for elements to be recycled or disposed of, which includes a crushing assembly, to which the elements to be recycled or disposed of are provided, and pushers acting toward the crushing assembly to push the elements to be recycled or disposed of, includes a measuring step of the current absorbed by the crusher, a comparing step of the current value measured against a first predetermined value, and a reducing step of the push intensity of one or more of the pushers toward the crushing assembly in case the measured current exceeds the first predetermined value, the pushers being controlled separately from each other in order to partialize the push force and the push areas.

A comminuting device for solids-conducting liquids comprises a housing with an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a housing interior extending from the inlet opening to the outlet opening, a first comminuting shaft extending through the housing interior and arranged to rotate about a first comminuting axis. A second comminuting shaft extends through the housing interior and is arranged so to rotate about a second comminuting axis. A first screening device has a first screening wall comprising a plurality of slots arranged in the housing interior adjacent to the first comminuting shaft. A first clearing device has a plurality of clearing elements which can be moved relative to the screening wall along a movement path and which extend through the plurality of slots starting from a first clearing shaft arranged on one side of the first filter wall to at least one portion of the movement path.

A paper scrap pushing structure of a paper shredder, including a rotating shaft, a paper pushing rod, and connecting rods, in which the rotating shaft is arranged under a paper outlet, and is in linkage with a paper shredder cutter shaft through a synchronous transmission device. The paper pushing rod is located on one side of the rotating shaft, arranged in the length direction of the rotating shaft in parallel and connected with the rotating shaft through the connecting rods. The distance from the paper pushing rod to the rotating shaft is smaller than the distance from the lowest portion of the paper shredder cutter shaft to the rotating shaft. When rotating, the rotating shaft drives the paper pushing rod to move in a circumferential direction through the connecting rods, removing paper scraps at the top of a paper scrap pile in a shredded paper waste bin.
