<p>PCT No. PCT/AU88/00228 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 9, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 9, 1990 PCT Filed Jun. 30, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO89/00455 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 26, 1989.An apparatus for crushing frangible or friable material using a gyratory action. The crushing apparatus includes a bowl (13) having a chamber (15) for receiving material to be crushed. The chamber (15) has a central discharge opening (27) disposed at the base thereof. The discharge opening (27) defining a throat (38) having a circumferential wall (39). A pivotable crushing head (17) is disposed generally centrally within the discharge opening (27) in spaced relation to the wall of the throat (38) to define an annular nip (41) between the wall of the throat and the outer surface (37) of the head. The crushing head is centrally supported about a pivot point (B) to permit rotational and oscillatory motion of the crushing head about the pivot point. A means including a spindle (43) is provided for imparting oscillatory motion to the crushing head. The arrangement is such that material deposited into the bowl is subjected to crushing by the motion of the crushing head relative to said wall with opposite sides of the crushing head co-operating with the wall of the throat to maintain the gap of said nip during an entire oscillation of the crushing head.</p> |
