Aug 25, 2021A new biomass comminution system, Crumbler rotary shear, was developed to process fuel-grade biomass. The rotary shear is more efficient than the traditional hammer mill in comminuting high-moisture biomass and producing more uniform particles with minimal fines. However, the milling unit experiences significant wear in processing dirty woodchips.
