Material Processing Machine With Removable Screen Cradle Assembly

Abstract

A material processing machine has an infeed system, a discharge system, and a material reducing system mounted between the infeed system and the discharge system. The material processing machine includes a housing, a rotor having a shaft rotatably mounted to the housing, and a drum defining an outer surface. A plurality of processing tool assemblies are coupled to and extending outwardly from the outer surface of the drum. A stop is coupled to the housing. A removable screen cradle assembly partially surrounds the rotor. The screen cradle assembly includes a cradle support structure having first and second ends with the second end seated against the stop when in an assembled state, and at least one screen mounted to the cradle support structure. A retainer is coupled to the housing to engage the first end of the cradle support structure to secure the cradle support structure against the stop.
