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.
