Benefits of technology

The solution provides a cost-effective, efficient, and portable method for shredding plant trimmings into uniform-sized particles without damaging them, reducing waste and enabling easy packaging and distribution.

Problems solved by technology

Plant trimmings such as flowers, herbs, tea leaves, medicinal leaves, and any other types of foliage matter are generally shredded through complicated and large processing systems that are normally installed within a processing factory.
As a result, these processing systems and processing factories require large sum of investments to set up and need to process large quantity of foliage matter on daily bases to be profitable.
Furthermore, these processing systems generate a large quantity of waste material due to the low efficiency of the systems.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0018]The present invention is a foliage shredder that can shred plant trimmings into uniform sized particles. More specifically, the present invention accepts plant trims such as herbs, flowers, medicinal leaves, tea leaves, and any other type of foliage matter so that the plant trimmings can be quickly shredded into uniform sized particles without pulverizing the inputted foliage matter. The present invention functions as a portable and inexpensive apparatus that can implement the shredding process for plant trimmings in comparison to traditional factory setting environments.

[0019]The present invention comprises a housing 1, a shredding axle 15, a motor 20, a stand 27, a digital timer 32, and a power cord 33, as shown in FIG. 1-3, and the housing 1 comprises a lateral wall 2, a base plate 7, and a cyli...

Abstract

A foliage shredder that can shred inputted foliage matter into uniform sized particles without pulverizing the inputted foliage matter includes a housing, a shredding axle, a motor, a stand, a digital timer, a power cord, and a lid. The shredding axle is concentrically positioned within a cylindrical compartment of the housing and rotatably coupled to a rotor of the motor. A stator of the motor is externally connected to the housing and electrically connected to the power cord through the digital timer. The lid is terminally attached to the housing thus closing the cylindrical compartment. The cylindrical compartment functions as a container unit for the inputted foliage as the electrically powered shredding axle shreds the inputted foliage into uniform sized particles.
