DUAL AUGER SHREDDER HAVING LOW PROFILE

摘要

An auger system adapted to shred large materials. An exemplary embodiment is comprised of dual opposing augers that are adapted to grab, compress, and shred the material, reducing the material size such that it may be discharged through a side outlet opening and/or an extrusion tube into, for example, a standard roll-off compaction container. An exemplary embodiment allows large material to be processed in a low speed device with reduced equipment dimensions, providing operator safety with low profile loading, lower noise level, reduced chances of material being expelled from the processing chamber, and ability to use conventional material transport (e.g., semi-trucks).

主权项

1. A system for shredding, comprising:
a processing chamber comprising an input opening adapted to receive material to be shredded and a discharge opening adapted to output shredded material; a first tapered auger positioned in said processing chamber; and a second tapered auger positioned in said processing chamber, said second tapered auger opposing said first tapered auger such that said material is adapted to be shredded between said first tapered auger and said second tapered auger; wherein said first tapered auger is adapted to urge said shredded material through said discharge opening.
