An apparatus and method for the comminution of plant matter, particularly of moist plant matter, for the production of corn cob mix, for example, provides that a rotor is rotationally mounted in a housing and provided with a drive, the rotor carrying movable blades and the housing carrying stationary blades so that there is a mutual interaction of the blades for comminution. The moving blades are slanted back in the direction of motion of the rotor. The blades are formed of sheet steel preferably manufactured by punching and have a thickness of 0.3 through 3 mm, preferably 0.5 through 1 mm. The comminution occurs in such a manner that the plant matter is non-uniformly accelerated and pre-comminuted between a plurality of high-speed intercutters moving a circular orbit and is finish-comminuted by a plurality of outer-stationary cutters. |
