  • Publication number: 20240382973
    Abstract: A wear plate for a rotor for a comminution apparatus that is arrangeable adjacent to at least one of the wall elements and/or a further wear plate. The wear plate extends between an upper plate and a lower plate along a longitudinal direction. The wear plate includes a first body extending along a first general direction and has an upper surface, a lower surface, and a first abutment surface extending at least partially between the upper and lower surfaces. The wear plate includes a second body extending along a second general direction differing from the first general direction and has an upper surface, a lower surface, and a second abutment surface extending at least partially between the upper and lower surfaces. The wear plate is configured to abut a first surface and a second surface of the rotor such that, in use, forming a self-locking mechanism due to rotational force.
