Abstract

A granulating mill having a cutter which is rotatably disposed in a granulate container. Pieces of material to be comminuted are supplied to the granulate container from a collection hopper. The cutter has shaft ends which are rotatably mounted on a centrally disposed subframe, which is itself pivotably mounted on a main pivot shaft attached to a main frame. The cutter and collection hopper are mutually pivotable about a first pivot, and the granulate container is pivotable about a second pivot. In addition, the cutter, collection hopper and granulate container are pivotable about the main pivot shaft via the subframe. Thus, by this arrangement, the cutter, collection hopper and granulate container require only minimal force for such components to be pivoted into position for servicing and cleaning of the granulating mill.
