With a total of 3 patents to his name, Mushitz continues to push the boundaries of technology in his industry.
Latest Patents
Mushitz's latest patents include a bale processor and a flail for use with the same. In one embodiment, the bale processor features a hopper for receiving baled material, a discharge opening for outputting chopped material, and both primary and secondary rotors. The primary rotor is designed with an axis of rotation and a rotatable flail that efficiently chops the material from the bale received in the hopper. The secondary rotor further processes the material after it has been chopped by the primary rotor, ensuring a thorough breakdown of the baled material. The innovative design of the flail includes a pivot tube for rotation, first and second hammers, and a paddle that generates airflow to increase the throw distance of the chopped material.
Another embodiment of the bale processor includes a processing section that intersects the hopper at an impingement zone. This design allows the primary rotor to chop the material effectively, while the secondary rotor enhances the chopping process. The strategic offset of the secondary rotor ensures optimal material flow from the processing section to the discharge opening.
