Abstract: A recycling machine includes a main frame, a sieve barrel, a pressing cylinder, an end disk, a propeller shaft, a cutting device and an output device. The sieve barrel has a receiving chamber and a plurality of sieving apertures. The pressing cylinder has a receiving space and a plurality of toothed pressing portions. The end disk has a plurality of extruding holes. The propeller shaft has a first helical blade, a buffering portion and a second helical blade. Thus, the reused materials are forced into and revolved in the sieve barrel by rotation of the first helical blade to proceed a first-stage dehydration process, and are compressed in the buffering space between the buffering portion and the receiving chamber to proceed a second-stage dehydration process so that the reused materials are dehydrated completely.

Abstract: A meat mincing and mixing machine with a dual mode operation has a tilting mixing vat with inner rotating mixing blade fixed to a longitudinal horizontal axis, a unit for actuating the tilting mixing vat, a support and fixation device for supporting the axle detachably together with the mixing blades for cleaning and maintenance, a mincing body supporting the vat, separated by a sliding track door, and provided with a mincing spindle located inside the mincing body with a horizontal axis and a longitudinal direction, parallel to the longitudinal horizontal axle of the mixing blades and aligned against a front exit mouth, a protective casing covering the front exit mouth and rotating about a lower axle, a unit for actuating the mincing spindle, a folding screen provided at the rear of the vat and protecting against splattering, and actuation controls.

Abstract: A nut grinder includes a nut auger, a stationary grinding plate, and a rotatable grinding plate configured to grind nuts. The nut auger and rotatable grinding plate may be adapted to receive rotational power from a human user or a mechanical source.

Abstract: Self-correcting plate guards for installation over an orifice plate of a grinding machine are disclosed. Each plate guard has studs that fit into apertures of an orifice plate. The studs and apertures are sized so that the correct guard must be used with a particular orifice plate. Furthermore, the mounting ring that holds the orifice plate in place on the grinding machine cannot be tightened for use of the grinding machine without the plate guard being installed.

Abstract: A pair of lugs in an opening of a grinding head of a grinding machine and a pair of corresponding openings in an orifice plate of a grinding machine are disclosed to properly orient the plate in the head during assembly. The lugs are preferably of two different sizes so that the orifice plate will only fit into the head in one orientation. The lugs may differ in size such that the person assembling the grinding machine will be able to visualize the correct orientation based on the size of the lugs and corresponding openings.

Abstract: An orifice plate with an outer grinding section and an inner grinding section is disclosed. The outer grinding section is the main grinding section leading to the main material collection stream, and an additional grinding section is present in the inner section of the orifice plate to remove useable material from material swept toward the center of the plate by the action of a rotating knife assembly on the plate. The useable material obtained at the inner section is also led to the main material collection stream.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating and transporting away raw materials once they have been ground, from cutting tools embodied as separating/cutting units and pertaining to machines for meat mincing, especially mincers. The inventive device is embodied as an adaptable tool and can be associated with separating and cutting units (1) of mincers. Said device is characterized by a transporting tube (4) and a discharge screw (3) arranged inside said tube and driven by external means. Furthermore, the adaptable tool and the discharge screw can be positioned and arranged in different positions for each separating and cutting unit (1).

Abstract: A grinder, which is designed to cut frozen or fresh or fresh meat, has a set of blades, comprising a carving blade (2) and a perforated disc (4), in-between which a blade (3) is arranged in a defined fixed intermediate space. The blade (3) is spring-loaded and is pressed against the perforated disc with a preset force, so that wear can remain constant throughout the service life of the blade, and the service life of the blade can be enhanced.
