Also provided is an accessory for preparing food and to an appliance for preparing food comprising the above-described tool for cutting food into pieces.

Abstract: A tube mill has a body arranged for rotation about an axis of rotation. Material to be ground can be introduced into the body for comminution. The tube mill has an electric motor for rotationally driving the body. The electric motor has a rotor arranged around the body and connected to the body for rotation therewith and has a stator arranged stationarily around the rotor. The tube mill has a concrete element running around at least half the circumference of the stator yoke which is connected to the concrete element in such a way that forces acting on the stator yoke are transferred to the concrete element.

Abstract: A lined drum includes a drum having a wall with an inner surface. The lined drum also includes a plurality of liner segments, each liner segment having inner and outer opposing surfaces, opposing side edges, and opposing end edges, the outer surface of the liner segment facing the inner drum surface and the side edges of adjacent liner segments being spaced from each other to define a space therebetween, and at least one retainer having opposing side edges overlapping the side edges of the adjacent liner segments, the at least one retainer attached to the wall of the drum in the space between the side edges of the adjacent liner segments. The lined drum may also include a plurality of bar segments, each bar segment attached to the wall of the drum and at least one retainer.

Abstract: A drum cutting machine has a rotary drum and has a plurality of blades arranged along the contour of the rotary drum. The lateral surface of the rotary drum is provided with a multiplicity of holes. A supporting part matches the contour of the rotary drum and has for each of the blades a bearing point that defines the position of the cutting edge. A blade box for such a machine makes it easier to move the blades into the correct position, thereby reducing the complexity in terms of maintenance.

Abstract: A heavy-duty drive arrangement for a mill having a grinding bowl ratable about a vertical axis comprises a housing, an electric motor, and a gearing arrangement disposed in the housing and supported on the housing. The grinding bowl can be driven by means of the electric motor via the gearing arrangement. The electric motor is disposed below the gearing arrangement. The electric motor is integrated in the housing. Advantageously, the electric motor is supported on the housing particularly on a bottom element of the housing. The rotor can be connected directly, or via a coupling integrated in the rotor, to a gear of the gearing arrangement. The mill may be, for example, a roller bowl mill.

Abstract: A high turbulence mill used for producing supermicro powder and nanomaterials includes: a driving device provided on a base; a hollow grinding casing having a toothed ring-shaped guide stator fixed to an inner circumference thereof; a bi-negative pressure turbine rotatably mounted within the grinding casing; a hopper for delivering materials into the grinding casing via a material feeding pipe; a material discharging pipe communicated with the grinding casing for discharging pulverized products; and a control device for electrically controlling the high turbulence mill. When the specifically designed bi-negative pressure turbine spins at a high speed within the grinding casing under the driving operation of the motor, strong vortexes and high turbulence will be formed in the grinding casing, and thus a gas-solid two-phase flow is formed.

Abstract: A bulk material breaker has a housing in the form of a drum having at least one shearing finger on the internal wall thereof, an upwardly directed rotationally driven cone having at least one shearing profile thereon, a gap between the cone and the housing wall, and a collecting hopper beneath the cone.

Abstract: A comminuting unit of a comminuting machine for comminuting material has a plurality of knife carriers with a longitudinal axis. The knife carriers are arranged along a comminution path of the comminuting unit and have a leading longitudinal edge. The knife carriers are aligned with the longitudinal axes transversely to the comminution path and parallel to one another. The knife carriers have an axis-parallel slicing knives arranged at the leading longitudinal edge. The slicing knives have a cutting edge extending at a predetermined angle and a predetermined projecting length into the comminution path. Axial passage slots are formed between the knife carriers allowing passage of material comminuted by the slicing knives such that a rearward longitudinal edge of a preceding knife carrier and the slicing knife of the following knife carrier together define the axial passage slot in the form of a guide channel.

Abstract: A ring cutter that cuts chips with a ring of knives. Two carrier rings enclose a collar of knife packets. Each knife packet includes a knife clamped between a knife carrier a clamping plate with a cutting edge of the knife pointing to the inside of the ring. Fastening screws are threaded through a borehole in the clamping plate and an opening in the knife and are screwed into a threaded borehole in the knife carrier. One of the fastening screws is configured as an alignment pin.

Abstract: A knife ring machining tool for machining chips, with a knife ring comprising a crown of knife packets as well as two carrier rings carrying the packets, which rings are arranged on the ends of the knife packets. Each knife packet includes a knife that is inclined against the radial direction and whose cutting edge faces inward, with a rotor arranged coaxially with the knife ring and surrounded by the latter. The rotor includes a plurality of rotor blades that carry strip-shaped cleaving knives on the outer ends, which knives for their part run parallel to the rotor axis and extend over the width of the rotor. Each cleaving knife is fastened by screws to the associated rotor blade, while each screw connection comprises a wedge element that tapers outward in radial direction in a wedge shape, as viewed in a section vertical to the rotor axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for separating and processing solid waste, often but not necessarily from municipalities (and so will be generically referred to herein as municipal solid waste or “MSW”), into useful products, and for reducing biohazards and putrid odors derived from MSW. The MSW is loaded into an elongated, generally cylindrically shaped rotating pressure vessel and is subjected to heat and pressure by the application of steam in specified amounts to break down the organic portion of the MSW into a cellulose feedstock, or a de-manufactured paper product, of uniform particle size and density. This product is then easily separable from other constituents of MSW, such as glass, aluminum and other metals, and plastics. The recyclables are recovered and sold in the market. The waste water from the process is reduced by processing through a water vamping apparatus.
