| 241186350 | Endless loop feed or discharge conveyor | 4 |
| 20080277514 | SHREDDER - A shredding apparatus to reduce the particle size of fibrous material such as sugar cane, consisting of a cylindrical rotor with knives or hammers having a feed conveyor and feeding roll that ensures the material enters the gap between the rotating assembly and a fixed grid plate. The shredded material is discharged from the grid plate onto a fixed discharge plate which leads the shredded cane onto a belt conveyor. Bye-passed material is returned to the feed inlet for reprocessing by means of a return plate. The configuration lends itself to a simple and inexpensive inline installation. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20140374520 | BALE SHREDDER - A bale shredder apparatus may comprise a frame and a bale hopper mounted on the frame and defining an interior bale chamber for receiving a bale to be shredded with a bale feed opening. A bale shredding assembly may be in communication with the bale chamber through the opening to shred a bale in the bale chamber. A side wall of the hopper may be movable away from the primary side wall to permit removal of a bale from the bale chamber. A primary bale movement assembly may move a bale in a lateral direction toward the opening and a secondary bale movement assembly may move the bale in a direction substantially transverse to the lateral direction. A shredding rotor of the shredding assembly may include at least one brace including at least one leg extending outwardly from the outer surface of the rotor. | 12-25-2014 |
