COMMINUTION MILL WITH CABLE IMPACT ARMS

摘要

A comminution mill is described that includes a vertically oriented cylindrical housing with an intake chute in a top wall and an outlet chute in a bottom wall thereof. A rotatable shaft with a plurality of radially extending cables is disposed coaxially within the cylindrical housing. A plurality of studs extends inwardly from the wall of the housing to slow and collect materials flowing through the comminution mill. The studs can be withdrawn to discharge materials collected thereon. Slits are provided in the walls of the housing to enable the exit of particulate materials from the housing. A hood is provided overlying the slits on the exterior of the comminution mill for collecting the particulate material. Operation of the comminution mill provides a self-generated airflow and can be configured to separate, grind, and dry materials disposed therein.

主权项

1. A comminution mill comprising:
a cylindrical housing having a rotatable shaft disposed coaxially therein; a plurality of cables removeably coupled to the shaft along the length thereof in one or more spaced apart, radially extending planes, each of the cables extending radially outward from the shaft toward but not contacting a sidewall of the housing, the cables being moved through the radial planes by rotation of the shaft and contacting materials deposited in the housing for comminution, and the movement of the cables generating an airflow through the housing; and a plurality of slits disposed in the sidewall of the housing through which particulate materials exit the housing.
