Abstract
A comminuting apparatus including a filtering screen member for collecting solids carried by an effluent stream. The filtering screen member has an upstream side and a downstream side. The comminutor apparatus further includes a twin shaft grinder for grinding solids contained in the effluent stream and for cleaning the filtering screen member of solids collected thereon. The comminutor apparatus also includes a mounting member in the form of frame-like structure for mounting the twin shaft grinder at a spaced apart distance from the upstream side of the filtering screen member. Additionally, the comminutor apparatus includes a moving device in the form of a drive motor for moving the twin shaft grinder past the upstream side of the filtering screen member such that the twin shaft grinder is continuously spaced from the filtering screen member during the movement of the twin shaft grinder.
