Quarry pulverizer

A quarry pulverizer for use as a reduction process machine for rocks and mineral bearing ores is provided for use. The purpose of the quarry pulverizer is to enhance the ability to meet product grading requirements without adding cost or time to the operation, to reduce maintenance costs associated with these types of machines, to increase feeding capacity, to demonstrate how a centrifugal reduction machine can eliminate wear to its central rotor, and to present a pulverizer with an overall modular design that can be tailored to meet a customer's needs. The invention also introduces the concept of how a static impact area may be changed into a dynamic impact area and subsequently increase reduction efficiency. A quarry pulverizer is provided to act as a reduction process machine for rocks or mineral bearing ores. It consists of a top cover with a collecting hopper to accept material feed stock, together with a vertically mounted cup-shaped rotor that receives the material feed stock from the top cover and centrifugally accelerates the material upwardly and over its rim. A modular system of shelves surrounds the rim of the rotor cup that bank up with the material or inlaid with metal/blocks and act as an impacting area for the oncoming of material, chutes where the material may gravity discharge. A motor turns the rotor cup by means of a shaft running vertically along the longitudinal axis of the pulverizer.
