Abstract
The comminuting machine includes a housing provided with a rotary impact mechanism. Infeed apparatus including a conveyor and a revolving intake roll act upon the infed material for conveying the same to the rotary impact mechanism. An entrance gap is defined between an impact ledge and the rotary impact mechanism and provides initial comminution. The impact ledge is mounted at a carrier which also supports a pressure fluid operated motor for driving the infeed apparatus. The entrance gap is followed by an impact plate which cooperates with the rotary impact mechanism in further disintegrating the infed material.
Claims18
A comminuting machine comprising
- a housing for receiving material to be comminuted;
- a rotary impact mechanism accommodated in said housing;
- infeed means disposed in said housing and defining a general feed direction for feeding received material to said rotary impact mechanism;
- said infeed means containing an impact ledge defining conjointly with said rotary impact mechanism an entrance gap providing a first comminuting action on infed material;
- infeed drive means for driving said infeed means;
- a common carrier accommodated in said housing for supporting at least part of said infeed drive means and said impact ledge;
- said common carrier having a first side which faces said rotary impact mechanism, and a second side;
- said first side of said common carrier extending substantially parallel to said general feed direction defined by said infeed means;
- said impact ledge being releasably mounted at said first side of said common carrier;
- said impact ledge having a protruding portion protruding from said first side toward said rotary impact mechanism in order to thereby define a comminuting edge;
- and
- said comminuting edge extending along substantially the entire common carrier and defining said entrance gap conjointly with said rotary impact mechanism.
A comminuting machine comprising:
- a housing for receiving material to be comminuted;
- a rotary impact mechanism accommodated in said housing;
- infeed means disposed in said housing and defining a general feed direction for feeding received material to said rotary impact mechanism;
- said infeed means containing an impact ledge defining conjointly with said rotary impact mechanism an entrance gap providing a first comminuting action on infed material;
- infeed drive means for driving said infeed means;
- a common carrier accommodated in said housing for supporting at least part of said infeed drive means and said impact ledge;
- and
- said infeed drive means including a conveyor acting upon said received material from below and an intake roll acting on said received material from above.
