SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CRUSHING

摘要

Exemplary embodiments are for a system for crushing a material that may include a compaction chamber and a screw assembly that generally extends between the proximal and distal ends of the compaction chamber. A portion of the screw assembly increases in diameter along a length of the shaft of the screw assembly such that the system is configured to crush material between the compaction chamber and the portion of the screw assembly that increases in diameter. The portion of the screw assembly that increases in diameter may be integral with the shaft of the screw assembly. An exemplary embodiment of the system may also include at least one wear member that is removably associated with the distal portion of the compaction chamber such that the wear member may assist with the crushing of material.
