Abstract: A material processing machine with a rotating element positioned within a hopper for receiving materials to be processed, the rotating element including an outer edge to which one or more attachments may be mounted. The attachments include a forward edge extending generally forward with respect to the direction of rotation of the rotating element and extending outward from the outer edge of the rotating element. A rotating element for use in a material processing machine has either attachments mounted to an outer edge or integrally formed extensions along an outer edge. The extensions or attachments including a forward edge that extends generally forward with respect to the direction of rotation of the rotating element.

Abstract: A material processing machine having a rotating element formed of a core rotatable about a generally vertical axis, and a top cap having a pair of facets which abut together at a join line. The join line extends downward from perpendicular to the generally vertical axis at an angle. The core has a continuous outer wall that is substantially vertical, and the facets extend inward from the outer wall to the join line at a non-perpendicular angle. Each of the facets extends inward from the outer wall to the join line at an angle that is different from angle of the other facet.
