A method and apparatus for grinding a particulate material is disclosed. The method may include providing a system including a roller mill apparatus and a hammermill apparatus, operating the roller mill apparatus and the hammermill apparatus, adjusting a feed rate of particulate material to the roller mill apparatus until power consumption by operation of the roller mill apparatus achieves a target power consumption for the roller mill apparatus, and adjusting a gap between mill rolls of the roller mill apparatus until power consumption by operation of the hammermill apparatus achieves a target power consumption for the hammermill apparatus. The system may include roller and hammermill apparatus with sensing and controlling apparatus configured to operate the roller and hammermill apparatus according to the methods disclosed.

The mobile waste comminuting device of the invention comprises: at least one comminuting shaft; an internal combustion engine; at least one generator that is coupled to the internal combustion engine to convert mechanical energy supplied by the internal combustion engine into electric energy; at least one electric motor which is powered by the electric energy so as to drive the at least one comminuting shaft and change the direction of rotation thereof; and an energy store for storing energy and at least partly powering the at least one electric motor with electric energy, in particular for storing energy during periods of low power demand and supplying energy during periods of high power demand in relation to the nominal power of the at least one generator.

A pill grinder and a method for using thereof are provided. The pill grinder includes: a base plate; a guiding assembly; a handle component including a pair of handle connecting rods, wherein, a first connecting rod is connected to a first end of each handle connecting rod, a roller shaft is connected between the handle connecting rods, axial directions of the roller shaft and the first connecting rod are both parallel to a first direction, the first connecting rod is kept pressed towards the base plate by an elastic returning component; and a grinding component, sleeved outside the roller shaft. When the handle component rotates around the first connecting rod, guided by the guiding assembly, the grinding component has a grinding stroke along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Therefore, pills can be better grinded with easier operation and less time, and safety in use is largely enhanced.

Disclosed are grain crushing apparatuses and processes for processing grain. In one embodiment, a grain crushing apparatus includes a first and second sidewall spaced apart from one another a throat dimension in a first direction, and a first and second support shaft positioned transverse to the first and sidewall. The grain crushing apparatus also includes a first and second grain crushing roller. The grain crushing rollers are intermeshed with one another and maintained at positions spaced apart from one another such that they overlap by a distance less than the tooth height. The process is a method for the grown and harvested grain to be shelled, cleaned, stored and then incrementally or iteratively crushed by the shown apparatus or an equal type such that the crushed grain of various sizes may be separated by a sieve and remain as crushed grain with the germ protected uncut, unruptured and intact.
