A hammermill-type shredding apparatus having a rotor assembly disposed
in a housing, the rotor assembly including hammer elements of longer
and shorter lengths mounted in an intersticed or alternating manner
thereon, a grate having thicker and thinner portions in like alternating
manner so as to accept longer length hammers adjacent the thinner
portions of the grate and between the thicker portions of the grate,
the housing further provided with a comb assembly having finger
portions extending into the circle defined by the hammers when in
operation, and further extending between the hammer elements so
as to remove and prevent any undesirable materials accumulations.
A hammermill including a main shaft rotatable about a main axis
passing longitudinally through the main shaft. Connected to the
main shaft and spaced longitudinally along the main axis are a plurality
of substantially parallel plates. Pivotally mounted between the
plates along pivot axes parallel to and spaced from the main axis
are a plurality of free swinging hammers for crushing material.
A plurality of sealing members are positioned along the pivot axes
and compressed between the hammers and the plates.
An improved wood pulverizer is provided with a rotating disc studded
with a plurality of curved tapered hammers. One or more anvils is
secured to the pulverizer with the anvil having teeth and slots
located adjacent the surface of the disc. The hammers of the rotating
disc pass through the slots of the anvils as the disc rotates to
tear and shard wood into bits and pieces for subsequent use or processing.
The anvils of the present invention are formed with two or more
useable surfaces so that the anvils can be removed, rotated, and
replaced to present fresh cutting surfaces to the disc. Further,
the anvils are formed by a series of bolted together anvil segments
to allow replacement of only single segments in the event of damage.
