ABSTRACT:
An improved comminuter/dehydrator apparatus and method includes a body having an inverted, coaxially shaped cavity with an open truncated lower end and an open upper end connected to a cylindrically shaped chamber. A sleeve, which extends through the chamber and into the cavity, is adjustable axially by a pair of jacks. A damper is adjustable relative to the sleeve to control air escaping from the cavity into the ambient atmosphere. A manifold with a velocity-enhancing venturi mechanism directs air from a blower tangentially into the chamber to create cochleated and resonating, oscillatory cyclonic air-flow activity. A portion of the air from the blower to the chamber is diverted through a feeder containing the material being comminuted and dehydrated. The comminuted and dehydrated material is gravitationally discharged through the cavity lower end. The body has a removable nozzle tip to extend the operational characteristics of the apparatus. Finer materials being comminuted may be gravitationally directed into the cavity through a tube and elbow arrangement spaced below a slot and gate arrangement in the damper.
