  • Patent number: 8632029
    Abstract: A material crusher system including a body, a lid, an outlet, and a feed tube disposed through the lid for receiving particulate. The system can include a centrifugal assembly within the body for receiving and crushing the particulate. A motor can be connected to the centrifugal assembly for controlling a rotating plate. A variable frequency drive can be connected to the motor for optimizing a rotation speed of the rotating plate, thereby preventing over-crushing of the particulate. The system can include a plurality of anvil holders disposed around an anvil ring with an anvil in each anvil holder. Each anvil can be impacted by the particulate and a downdraft can carry the particulate from the anvil to the outlet. The system can include a gas purge system for pressurizing a shaft bearing on the motor, enabling for continuous use of the ultrafine material crusher system.
