Methods and machinery for pulverising solid wastes

Abstract

This report is published on behalf of the South African Committee for Solid Wastes which in turn advises the National Committee for Environmental Sciences on problems concerned with Solid Wastes in South Africa. It is particularly concerned with research into the generation, management, disposal and recycling of these wastes. In this report a review is presented of the available processes for the comminution of refuse. It deals with the choice and description of existing systems including a comparison of types with a view to assisting prospective users in the selection of equipment. There are also brief sections on shredders and guillotines. Comments and advice on the report will be welcome. The Committee for Solid Wastes would also appreciate it if readers could pass on their opinions regarding the requirement of a more comprehensive technical guide on machinery for pulverizing solid wastes.
