Abstract: A paddle for a reclaiming drum may include a block of material configured for attachment to a leading edge of a flighting supporting a cutting bit on the reclaiming drum, and the block of material may assist in breaking up and mixing material removed from a surface by the cutting bit as the reclaiming drum is rotated and moved into the surface. The paddle may include two ear portions protruding from opposite sides of a flat, centrally-located, aft-facing surface of the block of material, each of the ear portions including an inwardly-facing chamfered surface configured to interface with an outwardly-facing, leading edge chamfered surface of the flighting such that a gap is maintained between a flat leading edge surface of the flighting located in between the outwardly-facing chamfered surfaces and the flat, centrally-located, aft-facing surface of the block of material when the block of material is attached to the flighting.

Abstract: A tool adapter comprises a body including at least one elongated portion defining a longitudinal axis, a first end and a second end disposed along the longitudinal axis, a flange disposed between the first and second ends along the longitudinal axis, and an exterior surface extending along the longitudinal axis, and a collar portion defining a collar outer surface and the body defines a first groove disposed adjacent the first end extending along the longitudinal axis on the outer collar surface along the majority of the longitudinal length of the collar portion.

Abstract: A rotor associated with a machine includes a shell member. The rotor also includes at least one end ring adapted to couple to an edge of the shell member. The end ring includes an annular body defining an exterior surface. The end ring also includes a plurality of angled faces formed on the exterior surface.

Abstract: A strike off apparatus and method for moving a blade in such an apparatus are disclosed. The strike off apparatus may comprise a frame, a collar mounted to the frame, a blade mounted to the frame and moveable from a first position to a second position, a guide disposed within the channel, and an actuator operatively connected to the guide. The actuator may be configured to move the blade from the first position to a second position. The frame and collar may define a first portion of a generally vertical channel.
