Comminuting device and methods for comminuting vegetable material

Comminuting device for comminuting organic material, in particular vegetable material, comprising a frame which can be coupled to a vehicle, such as an agricultural tractor, by means of a coupling element, a rotor which is rotatably suspended in the frame and provided with treatment elements, a stator attached to the frame and provided with counter elements, which stator is, in an operating position, situated near a part of the circumference of the rotor so as to leave clear another part of the circumference of the rotor, to which other part of said rotor organic material to be comminuted can be supplied, by means of which treatment elements of the rotor and counter elements of the stator a comminuting action is performed on said material when they are rotated with respect to one another, wherein at least a part of the stator can be moved between different positions with respect to the rotor, wherein the stator can be moved between different positions with respect to the rotor by rotation about the center line of the rotor.
