  • Patent number: 7793872
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for comminuting all types of parts, in particular plastics, preferably hollow plastic bodies, such as for example plastic bottles. The device comprises a feeding device, and a comminuting unit, the feeding device having at least one transport unit and the comminuting unit having a rotor, which is provided with tools and rotates in a housing. The device is characterized in that the transport unit transports the parts at an angle of between 45° and 90° to the rotor axis, at least in the region lying directly in front of the rotor.

  • Publication number: 20070181723
    Abstract: The invention relates to a disc mill having two substantially parallel grinding discs (2, 3) that are configured as annular discs having a center passage (4) and that have opposite working surfaces (9, 10). These working surfaces are spaced apart from each other, thereby forming a working chamber (11) in the area of the passage (4), and converge outwards, thereby tapering the working chamber, and rotate in relation to each other. The inventive disc mill is characterized in that the working surfaces (9, 10), in an outer edge section (12), are configured in parallel and with an at least slight distance to each other.
