Abstract:
1. An apparatus for pulverizing material and extracting moisture from material, comprising: an inlet tube having a length sufficient to accelerate material to a required velocity for pulverization and further having a cross-sectional area that remains substantially the same along the inlet tube length; a venturi coupled to the inlet tube and comprising, an airflow generator to generate an airflow and including, a housing at least partially encompassing the airflow generator, the housing including an outlet in communication with the input aperture of the airflow generator, wherein the airflow generator is in communication with the venturi to direct the airflow through the venturi, and toward the input aperture, wherein material introduced into the airflow passes through the venturi and is subject to pulverization and moisture extraction.
