Abstract: The present disclosure is directed for use with a tire carcass shredding apparatus having a base frame in which are journalled at least one pair of opposed parallel shafts on which are carried slotted mandrels and cutter blades having spacers between each adjacent mandrel and cutter blade all being spline mounted for rotation with the shafts. The cutter blades are carried by one shaft entering the slots of the mandrels of the opposed shaft. The anti-foul device of this invention has a support bar for each of the opposed parallel shafts. Clean-out fingers and anti-foul fingers are positionable along the support bars for cleaning the zone of interdigitation between the mandrels and cutter blades.
Abstract: Waste such as combustible trash and prime garbage is mixed with rubber tires and shredded together to produce a compacted and combustible output product which can be used as a fuel or be incinerated for further compacting.The process involves interengaging rotary feeder-cutter wheels mounted on counterrotating shafts to pull materials through a feed path while shredding with the aid of shredder blades interspersed between the wheels. Feeding, mixing and conveying techniques through one or more shredder stages provide for attainment of high speed feed rates and handling of some degree solid debris such as steel belts in tires.
