Abstract:

Straw shredding/dispersing apparatus shreds straw or other shreddable material into small particles and disperses the particles over land. A conveyor feeds shreddable material through a door into a housing, and into a shredder in which three sets of flail-like structure shred the shreddable material. The first two sets of flail-like structure that impact the shreddable material spin at a slower speed than the third set of such structure. A centrifugal blower sucks the shredded material through a tapered inlet, and forces the material through a directable ejector tube. The ejector tube is remotely controlled to direct both its radial and vertical orientation.
