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