  • Carcass Composter
    Publication number: 20110024532
    Abstract: An apparatus for shredding animal carcasses has a pair of counter-rotating shafts, each of which supports a stack of alternating pug tooth elements and untoothed spacers of about the same thickness so that the pug tooth elements intermesh. Each pug tooth element has a base circle and a tooth with a forward rake, which tooth extends substantially beyond the base circle of the element. Carcasses are fed into the apparatus while the shafts are rotated by a drive mechanism, producing a shredded material which may be composted above ground.
