  • Patent number: 9216417
    Abstract: A small mill is essentially composed of a feed chute (1) discharging onto a rotor (2) equipped with milling and/or cutting hammers (3) interworking with a milling housing (4) that is equipped with screening walls (5), a crusher element (6) that can be provided upstream from the rotor (2), above the feed chute (1) and at a distance from the latter. The mill is characterized in that the axis of the rotor (2) is inclined relative to the axis of the feed chute (1) by forming an acute angle with the latter. This mill can be applied more particularly in the field of processing materials of any origin, especially by shredding with crushers, hammer mills, or the like.

  • Patent number: 9101938
    Abstract: A pre-grinder or pre-shredder apparatus, essentially made up of at least one drive unit (1) including a hydraulically or electrically driven motor (2), a reduction gear (3) and at least one shredding element (4) connected thereto and mounted on a frame (5), a wall, a feeder chute or any other mounting. The reduction gear (3) of the drive unit (1) of the pre-grinder or pre-shredder forms an element for attaching and supporting at least one shredder element (4) and is made up of a stationary portion (3?), attached directly to the frame (5) of the pre-grinder or pre-shredder or on a mounting or a wall of the latter, and by a mobile portion (3?), the shredder element (4) being inserted on the mobile portion of the reduction gear. The apparatus is useful in treating materials from any source, in particular by shredding using grinders, hammer mills or similar devices.

  • Patent number: 7926660
    Abstract: A packaging blank includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel defines at least one blister aperture and at least one tool portion. The second panel defines at least one tab strip and at least one tool access portion. The at least one tab strip is at least partially severable from the packaging blank. The at least one tool access portion is substantially completely severable from the packaging blank. The first panel and the second panel are configured to be positioned relative to one another in a face contacting arrangement such that a first portion of a given tool portion is to be operably aligned with a corresponding tool access portion. As such, the first portion of the given tool portion thereby is capable of being accessed by a tool via the corresponding tool access portion.
