Abstract:
1. A machine for machining or processing a conveyable material, comprising: structure defining a channel, at least a partial area of said channel being defined by at least one outlet section including at least one outlet through which the conveyable material to be machined or processed is transportable along a conveying direction, said at least one outlet section being moveably mounted relative to a remainder of the structure defining the channel of the machine, the at least one outlet section being coupled with at least one source for oscillations operable to mechanically oscillate said at least one outlet section relative to the structure defining the channel of the machine, a volumetric section within said at least one outlet section in the channel of the machine through which the conveyable material is transported having vibratable collision elements captively received therein and which subject the conveyable material to at least one of a shearing or an impact treatment when said at least one outlet section is mechanically oscillated to cause the collision elements to collide with one another.
