Material to be size reduced no longer needs to be gravity fed into the grinding chamber, but is evenly and horizontally fed into the rotor with the help of feeding screws. This way of feeding presents the following advantages over traditional gravity-fed configurations: higher throughput (30 – 50% more capacity with the same size cutting chamber); less power consumption (30 – 50% smaller motor); suitable for dry and wet operation; even loading of the rotor (results in fewer fines and dust in the regrind); and flyback is eliminated. — Hall 7, Booth 640 — Herbold Meckersheim GmbH, Meckersheim, Germany
