  • Sealing system for a surface treatment machine
    Patent number: 10661404
    Abstract: A seal system for a rotor assembly of a surface treatment machine includes a rotatable rotor assembly shell including surface treatment tools extending therefrom, and a stub-shaft located within the shell and fixedly coupled to the shell. The stub-shaft includes a shaft portion and a base portion, with the base portion including a recess. A non-rotatable bearing housing surrounds at least a portion of the shaft portion and has an longitudinally extending inner end located within the recess. A seal member is located in the recess and secured between the bearing housing and the base portion.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PROPORTION OF LIQUID IN SUBSTRATE MATERIAL WORKED BY MACHINE
    Publication number: 20190360163
    Abstract: A machine includes a material working mechanism movable relative to a frame to vary working depth of the material working mechanism. A control system monitors certain parameters, and controls a liquid dispensing mechanism to control application of a liquid such as water or an emulsion to be applied to material being worked by the material working mechanism based upon the parameters. The control system functions to produce a desired proportion of the liquid such as a liquid percent density in worked material.
