  • Patent number: 9363950
    Abstract: The invention relates to a comminuting device (1) for comminuting vegetable material (8, 18). The comminuting device has a frame (2) which can be coupled to a vehicle (4) by means of a coupling element (20), a rotor (5) which is rotatably suspended in the frame (2) and provided with treatment elements (6), and a stator (7) which is attached to the frame (2) and provided with counter elements (13). In an operating position, this stator (7) is situated near a part of the circumference of the rotor (5) so as to leave clear another part of the circumference of the rotor (5) to which organic material (8) to be comminuted can be supplied. The vegetable material (8) is comminuted by rotating the treatment elements (6) and the counter elements (13) with respect to one another. The invention also relates to methods for comminuting vegetable material (8, 18) which is aboveground and/or belowground.

  • Patent number: 6378679
    Abstract: The invention concerns a clutch (10), comprising a clutch disk (22) connected with a first shaft (A) and a brake device (17) connected with a second shaft (B). By means of the brake cylinder (19) of the brake device (17), the brake pad (18) can be coupled into engagement with the clutch disk (22), in which case a movement of rotation between the shafts (A and B) is prevented. In the solution of equipment, between the shaft (A) and the shaft (B), there is a support bearing (21), which supports the movement of rotation between the shafts (A and B) when the clutch is supposed to slip. According to the invention, in the pressure line (59), there is a holding pressure maintained by means of accumulators (100), which holding pressure determines the torque at which the clutch slips.
