  • Publication number: 20050263632
    Abstract: A processor for reducing solids from a predefined input size to a predefined output size is provided. The processor includes a base, an enclosed cylinder, a pair of rotor assemblies (each driven by its own motor) having a plurality of disk sets, the disk sets having a plurality of hammers thereon. As the rotor assemblies spin, the hammers cause the solids to be reduced. The processor further includes an inlet port for receiving solid material, and an outlet or discharge port for exiting the reduced solid material. The inlet port and discharge port extend across the length of the cylinder, to allow solids to be fed into the cylinder across its length and to allow multiple processors to be stacked or cascaded.

The processor includes a base, an enclosed cylinder, a pair of rotor assemblies (each driven by its own motor) having a plurality of disk sets, the disk sets having a plurality of hammers thereon. As the rotor assemblies spin, the hammers cause the solids to be reduced. The processor further includes two inlet ports for receiving solid material, and an outlet or discharge port for exiting the reduced solid material. Additionally, the processor includes legs for varying the incline of the inlet ports with respect to the outlet port, vanes to create lift on the inlet port side of the cylinder, flow restrictor plates to restrict solids flow within the cylinder, and baffle plates to prevent material build up within the cylinder.
