ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for comminuting glass fibers is disclosed. Within a housing are a plurality of weighted members or hammers, flexibly connected to and spaced about a rotatable shaft. A drive member rotates the hammers about the shaft to define a rotation circumference. A glass intake opening located at the top portion of the housing is provided to introduce glass fibers and carrier material into the apparatus. A first adjustable plate is located adjacent the glass intake opening and positioned to provide a space between the first adjustable plate and the hammers' rotation circumference. A first glass suspension chamber is defined by the glass intake opening, the first adjustable plate, and the rotation circumference of the hammers. In operation, a quantity of glass fibers and carrier material is introduced into the apparatus, and spinning weighted members contact the glass, causing the glass to strike the first adjustable plate and other glass particles. Adjusting the space between the first adjustable plate the weighted members' rotation circumference helps control the resulting particle size of the comminuted glass. Controlling the shaft rotation speed affects the resulting particle size of the comminuted glass.
