Abstract
A device for processing feedstock, includes a housing surrounding a processing chamber in which a rotational rotor having processing tools and mounted on a drive shaft is disposed around an axis. The feedstock is fed to the processing chamber via a material inlet and removed from the device via a material outlet. To facilitate assembly and disassembly of the device and to retool, maintain and repair or clean the device, it is provided according to the invention that the housing includes a first end wall, a material element in the shape of a hollow cylinder or hollow truncated cone, and a second end wall which are detachably connected to each other to form the processing chamber. The connection can be made by axially acting clamps, which clamp the first end wall against the second end wall by clamping the casing element.
Claims21
A device for processing feedstock, the device comprising a housing configured to surround a processing chamber, in which a rotational rotor having processing tools is mounted on a drive shaft and disposed around an axis, the feedstock being fed to the processing chamber via a material inlet and removed from the device via a material outlet, the housing comprising:
- a first end wall;
- a casing element in the shape of a hollow cylinder or a hollow truncated cone;
- and
- a second end wall,
- wherein the first end wall is configured to be clamped against the second end wall by clamping the casing element with an axially acting clamping component, and
- wherein the clamping component is formed by at least one tensioning member that runs within the housing cross section and whose ends are anchored in an area of the first end wall and the second end wall.
A device for processing feedstock, the device comprising a housing configured to surround a processing chamber, in which a rotational rotor having processing tools is mounted on a drive shaft and disposed around an axis, the feedstock being fed to the processing chamber via a material inlet and removed from the device via a material outlet, the housing comprising:
- a first end wall;
- a casing element in the shape of a hollow cylinder or a hollow truncated cone;
- and
- a second end wall,
- wherein the first end wall is configured to be clamped against the second end wall by clamping the casing element with an axially acting clamping component, and
- wherein the clamping component is formed by at least one clamping ring that interacts with a pair of circumferential ridges disposed in a contact joint between the casing element and the end walls.
A device for processing feedstock, the device comprising a housing configured to surround a processing chamber, in which a rotational rotor having processing tools is mounted on a drive shaft and disposed around an axis, the feedstock being fed to the processing chamber via a material inlet and removed from the device via a material outlet, the housing comprising:
- a first end wall;
- a casing element in the shape of a hollow cylinder or a hollow truncated cone;
- and
- a second end wall,
- wherein the first end wall is configured to be clamped against the second end wall by clamping the casing element with an axially acting clamping component, and
- wherein a coaxial centering component is disposed in a contact joint between the casing element and the first and/or second end wall.
A device for processing feedstock, the device comprising a housing configured to surround a processing chamber, in which a rotational rotor having processing tools is mounted on a drive shaft and disposed around an axis, the feedstock being fed to the processing chamber via a material inlet and removed from the device via a material outlet, the housing comprising:
- a first end wall;
- a casing element in the shape of a hollow cylinder or a hollow truncated cone;
- and
- a second end wall,
- wherein the first end wall is configured to be clamped against the second end wall by clamping the casing element with an axially acting clamping component, and
- wherein the material inlet extends through the first end wall and empties into an annular channel that is disposed on an inside of the first end wall facing the processing chamber and that is open to the processing chamber.
A device for processing feedstock, the device comprising a housing configured to surround a processing chamber, in which a rotational rotor having processing tools is mounted on a drive shaft and disposed around an axis, the feedstock being fed to the processing chamber via a material inlet and removed from the device via a material outlet, the housing comprising:
- a first end wall;
- a casing element in the shape of a hollow cylinder or a hollow truncated cone;
- and
- a second end wall,
- wherein the first end wall is configured to be clamped against the second end wall by clamping the casing element with an axially acting clamping component,
- wherein the processing tools of the rotor interact with a grinding path that is disposed on an inner circumference of the casing element in such that a radial gap is formed relative to the processing tools of the rotor, and
- wherein the grinding path is made of segmented grinding plates.
