Multi-flail glass pulverizer

摘要

The invention relates to a glass pulverizer 6 in which two rotatable flail assemblies 39 and 46 are housed within two contiguous drum-like housings 8 and 16 respectively. One housing 8 has an inlet 10 on one end and the other housing 16 has an outlet 20 located on an end furthest from the end adjacent the inlet. The housing 8 having an outlet 20 is longer than the other housing 16 thereby allowing the pulverized glass to exit the device in a relatively low speed and controlled manner. The flails may be of chain or single-link type, and are designed for ready replacement in the event of wear or damage. Replaceable liners are provided within the cylindrical housings.
