Publication number: 20250018400Abstract: A pulverizer for reducing a size of input material particles having a housing, a rotatable shaft with rotor arms and at least one airflow deflector cooperating with the rotor arms to deflect airflow within the pulverizer so as to form at least two overlapping vortices within the interior chamber such that input material particles in suspension in both overlapping vortices collide with each other to be thereby pulverized. The pulverizer also having a housing liner including a plurality of housing liner portions attached to and extending along a outer structural wall of the housing. The pulverizer also having a housing sidewall having an outer structural wall with a plurality of wall sections. The pulverizer also having canted rotor arms and rotor arms with removable wear pads. An anti-caking device for a vessel such as a pulverizer is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Applicant: TORXX KINETIC PULVERIZER LIMITEDInventors: Jaroslaw LUTOSLAWSKI, Mark Christopher LUGOWSKI

Patent number: 12083524Abstract: A pulverizer has arms connected to a vertically oriented rotating shaft at hubs. The arms are angled relative to radians extending from the shaft to be canted or offset. Pads can be oversized relative to the arms while being one of coplanar with the arms or recessed while possibly also having their radially inward face(s) angled to assist in resisting catching material thereon. A mechanical fuse connection can assist in connecting arms to the hub to prevent dangerous situations as well.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2021Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: TORXX KINETIC PULVERIZER LIMITEDInventors: Jaroslaw Lutoslawski, Mark Christopher Lugowski

Publication number: 20220379315Abstract: A pulverizer may have such features as an ability to detect wrapping as well as possibly deter wrapping. A processor may also adjust the speed of rotation of the arms within the pulverizer and/or the speed of feed of input for various considerations. In fact the rotation direction may be reversed for at least brief periods of time in an effort to remove wrapped material. Vibration may also be sensed and efforts to prevent damage may be instigated by a processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Applicant: TORXX KINETIC PULVERIZER LIMITEDInventors: Jaroslaw LUTOSLAWSKI, Mark Christopher LUGOWSKI

Patent number: 9987667Abstract: An anti-caking device has a plunger with a plunger head moveable between first and second positions. In the first position, the plunger head forms a surface with the housing, and in the second position, the plunger head is moved to provide at least a crack around its perimeter relative to the housing, whereby fluid proceeds from a fluid supply through the crack to assist in dislodging caked on material on the surface. Preferably, relatively low pressure fluid is utilized in many embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Torxx Kinetic Pulverizer LimitedInventors: Jaroslaw Lutoslawski, Mark Christopher Lugowski, Douglas Bruce Coyle
