VEGETABLE GRINDER

FIELD: agricultural engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in filling of combined silage. Proposed grinder has loading neck and housing with rectangular grinding chamber. Said chamber accommodates two opposite cutting-blade walls with blades installed in walls in zigzag manner. Both cutting-blade walls are made for cyclic displacement towards each other along guides under action of hydraulic cylinder. Each cutting-blade wall is moved by two hydraulic cylinders. One end each hydraulic cylinder is connected to grinder housing, and other end is connected through bearing with elongated semi-axle to provide travel of cutting-ball wall. Projections of plates of one cutting-blade wall coincide with cavities in plates of other cutting-blade wall. Grinder provides grinding of vegetables without liberal juicing and at minimum destruction of their structure owing to fixed position of vegetables between cutting-blade walls moving to each other. ^ EFFECT: improved quality of vegetable grinding and quality of ground products. ^ 5 dwg
