Laminated rotor processing apparatus
First Claim
1. Rotary processing apparatus comprising, in combination:
- (a) a rotor housing,(b) a rotary spindle adapted to be driven by a power source and having one end thereof passing through an aperture in said housing.(c) a fabricated rotor in said housing attached to said spindle, said rotor comprising a first purality of processing members attached to at least three substantially flat, generally centrally apertured members arranged in a stack with said apertures being aligned, said spindle being mounted to pass through a predetermined number of said apertures, said flat members being substantially in contact with one another from the region where the rotor is attached to said spindle and extending radially outward therefrom, and(d) means mounted on said spindle for retaining said stack on said spindle in releasable securement.

Abstract
Rotary processing apparatus is shown having a horizontal rotor made up of a number of flat annular plates secured together to which material processing members such as centrifugal impactors are releasably secured. Stator processing members or impactors are shown which are adjustable from outside the rotor housing. In another form, a rotor operating in a vertical plane and having processing members or impactors on both sides has material to be processed fed to it separately on each side. In both forms, reinforcement of the rotor housing may additionally be achieved by providing a plurality of generally flat annular members secured together and to inside surfaces of the rotor housing. Rotor impactors for the second embodiment have two processing ends and are provided with simple slip-in means for insertion into place through apertures in the laminated rotor.
