Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0412004A2] The comminutor according to the invention enables objects to be reduced to small dimensions while avoiding problems of rotor blockage. It comprises chiefly a casing (2) to which are fixed dead knives (20). A rotor (10) is mounted rotatably inside the casing (2) and is formed from discs carrying equal numbers of knives (12) set off at angular intervals. The knives (12) and dead knives (20) are positioned on the axis of rotation (8) and the casing (2) respectively, in such a way that a gap is left between all the lateral faces of the knives (12) and of the dead knives (20) to prevent any contact between these parts. The motor is reversible to allow the rotor (10) to be released in the event of jamming and to allow operation in both directions of rotation of the rotor (10). Application to a container for the comminutory handling of radioactively contaminated objects or objects containing toxic elements. <IMAGE>
