Abstract：

    This machine consisted of frame, grip mechanism, crush mechanism, power transmission mechanism and body etc. The operation test of this machine showed the skid of the limb of plant by grip mechanism and this resulted in lowering the efficiency of crushing operation. The crush mechanism had good and smooth operation and never blocking. However, the crushed material was discharge only in one side by using the belt conveyor and this resulted in the difficulty of transmission of crushed material. Nowadays, the moving mechanism was designed by wheels All of the modifications are in test. It works efficiency is 550-600 kg/hr.
