Abstract:
A waste processing machine for reducing waste material comprising:a rotor assembly having a rotor rotatable about an axis and a plurality of reducing members mounted to said rotor to reduce the waste material; andan infeed conveyor disposed adjacent said rotor assembly and having an infeed end extending longitudinally to a discharge end, said infeed end and said discharge end being positioned on an infeed side of said rotor, said discharge end being positioned longitudinally on an infeed side of said rotor and vertically a distance at a point at or below the axis of said rotor so that a primary reducing operation of the waste material takes place beyond and longitudinally forward of said discharge end of said infeed conveyor on the infeed side of said rotor, said conveyor being the sole means of support for the waste material and acting as a primary anvil for said reducing members to perform the primary reducing operation on the waste material.
