  • Publication number: 20160135646
    Abstract: The present invention is a grinding apparatus that has two bearings or rotational supports attached to the central shaft, as opposed to one bearing or rotational support, for added stability and consistency in grain size during grinding. The core components of the invention are a shaft, an upper bearing or rotational support, an inner grinding burr, an outer grinding burr, a lower bearing or rotational support, and a stabilizing cage. These components are configured as follows: the shaft is axially in contact to an upper bearing or rotational support, and an inner grinding burr is attached axially to the shaft and underneath the upper bearing or rotational support; a lower bearing or rotational support is axially in contact to said shaft and underneath the inner grinding burr; and a stabilizing cage is in contact to the exterior of the lower bearing and holds the bearing in place with respect to the exterior housing of the grinder.
