Abstract
The mechanical crusher includes a rotating shaft, a rotor mounted about the rotating shaft and having at least one sub-rotor containing a plurality of blades, a liner having a plurality of grooves formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof and disposed externally of the rotor with a predetermined gap defined between the inner peripheral surface thereof and the outer-peripheral surface of the rotor, and a drive unit for rotating the rotor. The blades of at least the one sub-rotor incline in a direction where the flow of a material to be crushed is forced back. With this arrangement, the mechanical crusher can effectively crush a fiber-incluing material such as wheat bran, and the like to fine powder.
