Knife shredders

A flow schematic for the Santa Susana molten salt test facility is shown in Figure 3. Salt is loaded into the vessel from a carbonate hopper and a weigh belt feeder. Waste materials are shredded and crushed using a rotary knife shredder and a hammer-mill and are then metered into a pneumatic feed line with a variable-speed auger. 

Knife Shredder. Knife shredders are machines used to cut materials into smaller pieces for subsequent separation or for volume reduction, and, consequently. 

Primary breaking is either by hammer mill or by spiked rolls in combination with a knife shredder. Batteries are handled by front end loader into a hopper with apron feeder discharging onto a conveyor and into the primary breaker. Breakage releases the dilute sulfuric add electrolyte and equipment must be constructed of stainless steel and be fully enclosed to contain add spray and fine particulates. If crushing rolls are used the discharged material is wet screened to separate fines and electrolyte, and the coarse material is passed under a magnet to remove any tramp steel and is then processed in the knife shredder.
