Disc mill assembly for pulverizing system

An apparatus for a pulverizing system, including:

• a housing;
• a flywheel received in the housing and adapted for being secured to an associated rotating spindle;
• a lid removably fitted to the housing;
• first and second disc blades received in the housing and disposed in facing operative relation, each disc blade formed by a generally planar first surface, a cutting surface opposite the first surface, an outer wall extending from the first surface to the cutting surface, and an inner wall extending from the first surface to the cutting surface, each disc blade having a thickness perpendicular to the first surface and cutting surface, at least one disc blade having an aperture through the central portion being the only opening through the thickness of the corresponding disc blade, wherein the first disc blade is disposed in relation to the flywheel and the second disc blade is disposed in relation to the lid;
• and
• first and second ring clamps, the first ring clamp at least partially securing the first disc blade to the flywheel and the second ring clamp at least partially securing the second disc blade to the lid.

An apparatus for a pulverizing system, including:

• a disc blade formed by a generally planar first surface, a cutting surface opposite the first surface, an outer wall extending from the first surface to the cutting surface, and an inner wall extending from the first surface to the cutting surface, wherein the disc blade has a thickness perpendicular to the first surface and cutting surface and an aperture through a central portion of the thickness;
• and
• an outer ring clamp at least partially securing the disc blade to a component adjacent to the first surface of the disc blade;
• wherein the outer ring clamp mates with the outer wall of the disc blade.
