Abstract: Pulverizer apparatus is provided for pulverizing solid materials into very fine particles. A cylindrical shell member within the pulverizer housing devides the interior of the housing into central and outer chambers therebetween. A cap disposed above a frusto-conical upper portion of the shell includes a bottom portion closing off the top of the shell and a downwardly depending frusto-conical portion. The latter is mounted in spaced, at least partially overlapping relationship with the upper portion of the shell so as to define a downwardly inclined passageway which opens into the outer chamber. A nozzle assembly, located near the bottom of the housing, produces a plurality of jets of air directed radially inwardly towards the center of the central chamber at an angle such that particles of a material located at the bottom of the central chamber are caused to rise and to impact upon each other so as to provide pulverization thereof.
