Infeed means for comminuting machine

摘要

The comminuting machine includes a housing provided with a rotary impact mechanism. Infeed apparatus including a conveyor and a revolving intake roll act upon the infed material for conveying the same to the rotary impact mechanism. An entrance gap is defined between an impact ledge and the rotary impact mechanism and provides initial comminution. The impact ledge is mounted at a carrier which also supports a pressure fluid operated motor for driving the infeed apparatus. The entrance gap is followed by an impact plate which cooperates with the rotary impact mechanism in further disintegrating the infed material.
