Abstract

Biomass utilization for bio-energy, bio-fuels or bio-based products requires reductionof the material size within specific ranges depending on feedstock specie, handling and furtherprocessing / conversion processes. Biomass size reduction is a mechanical treatment process thatrefers to either cutting or comminuting processes that significantly change the particles size, shapeand bulk density of organic material.<br><br>Rotary equipment such as knife mill, hammer mill and disc mill perform the above-mentionedprocesses in various ways, as function of physical-mechanical properties of the material, toolsgeometry, feeding parameters and dynamics of particles separation.<br><br>This paper is intended as a comprehensive review of rotary machines design and processinvestigation that is closely related to material properties as well as requirements for furthermechanical or bio-chemical processing.
