Abstract
A multi-functional tool assembly for a material processing machine includes a single tool including a head and a shaft integrally formed therein. The head has a cavity with an arcuate surface. The multi-functional tool assembly also includes a material reducer adapted to reduce material within the waste processing machine. The material reducer is disposed in the cavity and has an arcuate surface complementary to the arcuate surface of the cavity.
Claims20
A multi-functional tool assembly for a material processing machine comprising:
- a single tool including a head and a shaft integrally formed therein, said head having a cavity with an arcuate surface;
- and
- a material reducer adapted to reduce material within the material processing machine, said material reducer being disposed in said cavity and having an arcuate surface complementary to said arcuate surface of said cavity;
- wherein said single tool includes a fan disposed radially below said material reducer to aggressively output reduced material from the material processing machine.

A processing tool for a material processing machine comprising:
- a tool holder for attachment to a rotor assembly of the material processing machine;
- and
- a single multi-functional tool assembly attached to said tool holder to reduce material comprising a material reducer to reduce material and a single tool to support said material reducer, said tool including a head, a fan, and a shaft integrally formed therein, said head having an arcuate cavity to receive said material reducer and said material reducer having an arcuate surface complementary to a surface of said arcuate cavity.
A material processing machine comprising:
- a rotor assembly;
- at least one tool holder attached to said rotor assembly, wherein said at least one tool holder includes a first arm extending radially and a second arm extending radially and spaced from said first arm;
- and
- a single multi-functional tool assembly comprising a material reducer to reduce material and a single tool to support said material reducer, said tool including a head, a fan, and a shaft integrally formed therein, said head having an arcuate cavity to receive said material reducer and said material reducer having an arcuate surface complementary to a surface of said arcuate recess, said fan being disposed radially below said material reducer to aggressively output the reduced material from said rotor assembly and shall being disposed opposite said fan and extending outwardly away therefrom and attached to either one of said first arm and said second arm of said tool holder.
