Patent number: 11958054Abstract: A pulverizer for reducing a size of input material particles having a housing, a rotatable shaft with rotor arms and at least one airflow deflector cooperating with the rotor arms to deflect airflow within the pulverizer so as to form at least two overlapping vortices within the interior chamber such that input material particles in suspension in both overlapping vortices collide with each other to be thereby pulverized. The pulverizer also having a housing liner including a plurality of housing liner portions attached to and extending along a outer structural wall of the housing. The pulverizer also having a housing sidewall having an outer structural wall with a plurality of wall sections. The pulverizer also having canted rotor arms and rotor arms with removable wear pads. An anti-caking device for a vessel such as a pulverizer is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: TORXX KINETIC PULVERIZER LIMITEDInventors: Jaroslaw Lutoslawski, Mark Christopher Lugowski

Patent number: 11883828Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the treatment of streams derived from construction and/or demolition (C&D) debris, such as C&D fines streams, asphalt shingles, drywall, or wood. The process can include a kinetic pulverization stage through a kinetic pulverizer where the frangible materials are size-reduced and the ductile materials are liberated and remain as an oversized fraction. The feedstock can include infrangible materials that also remains as an oversized fraction. The pulverized material is then subjected to a separation stage, which may include mechanical and/or magnetic screening, to separate the oversized material comprising the ductile material, and optionally larger particles of the infrangible material, from the size-reduced material comprising the frangible material, and optionally small particles of infrangible material.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: TORXX KINETIC PULVERIZER LIMITEDInventors: Christopher Mueller, Michael Drolet, Peter Everson, Terri Ward

Publication number: 20220379315Abstract: A pulverizer may have such features as an ability to detect wrapping as well as possibly deter wrapping. A processor may also adjust the speed of rotation of the arms within the pulverizer and/or the speed of feed of input for various considerations. In fact the rotation direction may be reversed for at least brief periods of time in an effort to remove wrapped material. Vibration may also be sensed and efforts to prevent damage may be instigated by a processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Applicant: TORXX KINETIC PULVERIZER LIMITEDInventors: Jaroslaw LUTOSLAWSKI, Mark Christopher LUGOWSKI

Publication number: 20220111394Abstract: A pulverizer is provided having a top having an inlet and a bottom having an outlet. A modular drum has a drum housing wall with a plurality of planar panel portions extending between the top and the bottom and connected together. A drum liner is disposed inside the drum housing wall, the drum liner including a plurality drum liner portions to attached to the planar panel portions, each drum liner portion being at least partially planar and extending along a corresponding planar panel portion, each drum liner portion being detachable from the planar panel portion independently from the other drum liner portions. A rotating shaft is mounted within the modular drum and has radially extending arms creating flow currents within the pulverizer for reducing a size of product input fed into the inlet and producing a size reduced material that is discharged through the outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Applicant: TORXX KINETIC PULVERIZER LIMITEDInventor: Jaroslaw LUTOSLAWSKI

Publication number: 20210229105Abstract: A pulverizer has arms connected to a vertically oriented rotating shaft at hubs. The arms are angled relative to radians extending from the shaft to be canted or offset. Pads can be oversized relative to the arms while being one of coplanar with the arms or recessed while possibly also having their radially inward face(s) angled to assist in resisting catching material thereon. A mechanical fuse connection can assist in connecting arms to the hub to prevent dangerous situations as well.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Applicant: TORXX KINETIC PULVERIZER LIMITEDInventors: Jaroslaw LUTOSLAWSKI, Mark Christopher LUGOWSKI

Patent number: 9987667Abstract: An anti-caking device has a plunger with a plunger head moveable between first and second positions. In the first position, the plunger head forms a surface with the housing, and in the second position, the plunger head is moved to provide at least a crack around its perimeter relative to the housing, whereby fluid proceeds from a fluid supply through the crack to assist in dislodging caked on material on the surface. Preferably, relatively low pressure fluid is utilized in many embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Torxx Kinetic Pulverizer LimitedInventors: Jaroslaw Lutoslawski, Mark Christopher Lugowski, Douglas Bruce Coyle
