Abstract: A powderizing assembly includes a product line for receiving product sized powderized material from a powderizing mill, and a purger assembly for receiving non-product sized material from the mill. Non-product sized material is periodically removed from the mill and fed to the purger. The purger assembly includes a purge line in parallel with the product line for receiving material from the mill. The purge line includes a cyclone separator and a filter. A first valve is operable to direct material from the mill to one of the product line or the purge line. The first valve and a second valve are operable to isolate the product line from the purge line.

Abstract: A rotary envelope machine blank cutter is provided with laterally adjustable, independent frame units for each meshing set of knife rolls for changing the depth of a side cut into a blank for envelope size and style production changes. The rotational and axial meshing of hard and soft knives respective to a single knife roll set is adjusted without disturbing the roll mount of either knife. Changes in envelope length or style are accommodated by the mechanical capacity to adjust the rotation cut timing between the knife roll sets of a two-set unit and also between respective cutting units of two or more two-set units. As in the case of lateral cut adjustments, knife roll mounts are undisturbed by rotational timing adjustments. Consequently, the machine may be quickly and accurately changed for production runs of any of several envelope style and several sizes respective to each style: all adjustments being made without disturbing the knife profile mesh of any knife set.
