  • Publication number: 20210339262
    Abstract: Granulator mill (1) comprising a frame (10), a cutter housing (20) with a granule chamber (22) comprising at least one non-rotatable blade (24) inside the granule chamber (22), and further comprising a rotatable rotor (30) arranged inside the granule chamber (22). The rotor (30) comprises blades (32, 34) which are arranged for cooperation with the non-rotatable blade (24) for granulating waste material to granules. A normal (n) to a first opening (26a) of the granule chamber (22) is pointing substantially vertically upwards in the normal position of use of said granulator mill (1), and characterising is that the cutter housing (20) is pivotably arranged at the frame (10) by means of a first pivot means (28), for pivoting the cutter housing (20) between the normal position of use and a cleaning position. In the cleaning position, the normal (n) of the first opening (26a) of the granule chamber (22) points towards a surface plane of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 8353471
    Abstract: A method of producing a foundation bed (1) for a granulator mill includes the steps that the foundation bed is cast from a plastic- or concrete based casting material in a mold (13) manufactured from thin sheet metal, the mold being given surfaces (16) for cooperation with a granulator mill housing (2) with high precision. In order to avoid after-treatment of the surfaces (16) of the mold intended for cooperation with the granulator mill housing, these surfaces are clamped during the casting process against a common, configurationally stable clamping member.

  • Publication number: 20110089279
    Abstract: A granulator mill housing for a granulator mill has a rotor, provided with knives, journalled therein, and seats against which fixed knives may be fixedly clamped by means of screws and guide bars. At a lower seat, there is a stand on which a guide bar is placeable in a preparatory position. The side of the guide bar, intended for cooperation with the knife is turned upwards. Pivoting of the guide bar and the knife will move the knife into abutment with the seat. On mounting of a knife against a seat in a granulator mill housing, the knife and a guide bar are screwed in position against the seat. First the guide bar is placed on a stand, whereafter the knife is placed on the guide bar, and the guide bar and the knife are pivoted together to a mounting position with the knife in abutment against the seat where screws are mounted.
