Abstract:

This invention relates to a gyroscopic centrifuge and mill apparatus having 1) a main mill housing assembly; 2) a material impact means mounted within the main mill housing assembly; and 3) a material conveyor means operable to a) convey raw waste/trash material thereto; b) convey heavy infraction materials initially processed outwardly from the main mill housing assembly; and c) convey the finally processed waste/trash material laterally of the main mill housing assembly. The material impact means is provided with a plurality of spaced adjustable impact blade assemblies mounted on a main upright driven shaft member and being associated with respective separator shelf assemblies in separate waste treatment zones. The impact blade assemblies have striker blade members which can be adjusted inwardly and outwardly, reversed due to wear conditions, and can have an angular relationship to a horizontal plane adjustable so as to regulate the volume and velocity of air flow through the entire main mill housing assembly. Each separator shelf asssembly includes a separator ring means with a central access opening which can change in diameter to control the flow and processing of the waste/trash material therethrough.
