Abstract: A multi-functional tool assembly for a material processing machine includes a single tool including a head and a shaft integrally formed therein. The head has a cavity with an arcuate surface. The multi-functional tool assembly also includes a material reducer adapted to reduce material within the waste processing machine. The material reducer is disposed in the cavity and has an arcuate surface complementary to the arcuate surface of the cavity.

Abstract: A multi-functional tool assembly for a waste processing machine includes waste reducer to reduce waste material. The multi-functional tool assembly also includes a single tool to support the waste reducer. The tool includes a head, a fan, and a shaft integrally formed therein. The fan is disposed radially below the waste reducer to aggressively output reduced waste material from the waste processing machine.

Abstract: A rotatable assembly for a machine includes a rotatable shaft having a longitudinal axis and a rotatable member disposed about the shaft. The rotatable assembly also includes at least one first connecting member operatively mounted to the rotatable member and to the shaft at a first location along the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The rotatable assembly includes at least one second connecting member operatively mounted to the rotatable member and located at a second location spaced from the first location along the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The rotatable assembly further includes a bearing operatively mounted to the shaft, wherein the second connecting member is operatively mounted to the bearing to allow the shaft to twist without permanent deformation when a concentrated load is subjected to the shaft as the rotor is rotated.

Abstract: A multi-functional tool for a waste processing machine includes a shaft and a head operatively supported by the shaft. The multi-functional tool also includes a waste reducer operatively supported by the head to reduce waste material and a fan operatively supported by the head and disposed radially below the waste reducer to aggressively output the reduced waste material from the waste processing machine.

Abstract: A shroud assembly for a waste processing machine includes a shroud for attachment to an engine of the waste processing machine. The shroud assembly also includes a plurality of fasteners for attaching the shroud to the engine of the waste processing machine, whereby the shroud channels air from a fan for a radiator of the engine over the engine to prevent waste material reduced by the waste processing machine from settling on the engine.

Abstract: A multi-functional tool assembly for a processing tool of a waste processing machine includes a tool holder for attachment to a rotor assembly of the waste processing machine. The multi-functional tool assembly also includes a multi-functional tool attached to the tool holder to reduce waste material and to aggressively output the reduced waste material from the rotor assembly of the waste processing machine.

Abstract: A method for aligning a clutch assembly having a clutch shaft and a housing with a plurality of threaded first fasteners. The method includes the steps of attaching the clutch assembly to a driveshaft of an engine mounted on a support frame having a plurality of second threaded fasteners. The method includes the steps of mounting a support plate to the housing and support frame and extending the first fasteners and second fasteners through mounting holes. The method also includes the steps of deflecting the clutch shaft relative to the driveshaft and disposing spacers over the first fasteners and second fasteners adjacent the support plate. The method includes the steps of engaging the first fasteners and second fasteners with third fasteners to seat the spacers against the support plate and fixedly securing the spacers to the support plate.
