Multi-functional tool assembly for processing tool of waste processing machine

1. A multi-functional tool assembly for a waste processing machine comprising:

a tool holder for attachment to a rotor assembly of the waste processing machine; and

a single multi-functional tool supported by said tool holder to reduce waste material and including a head, a waste reducer attached to said head, and a fan attached to said head and disposed adjacent said waste reducer to aggressively output the reduced waste material from the rotor assembly of the waste processing machine.

2. A multi-functional tool assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said fan has an axial width greater than said waste reducer.

3. A multi-functional tool assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said fan is located radially inward of said waste reducer.

4. A multi-functional tool assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said waste reducer is a cutter made of a carbide material for cutting waste material.

5. A multi-functional tool assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said fan is made of a metal material.

6. A multi-functional tool assembly as set in claim 1 wherein said fan has a generally rectangular shape.

7. A multi-functional tool assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said waste reducer is generally rectangular in shape.

8. A multi-functional tool assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said multi-functional tool includes a shaft attached to said head.

9. A multi-functional tool assembly as set forth in claim 8 wherein said waste reducer and said fan are attached to said head opposite said shaft.

10. A multi-functional tool assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said tool holder includes a pair of arms extending radially and said multi-functional tool is attached to one of said arms.

11. A processing tool for a waste processing machine comprising:

a tool holder for attachment to a rotor assembly of the waste processing machine; and

a multi-functional tool supported by said tool holder, said multi-functional tool comprising a head, a shaft attached to said head, a waste reducer attached to said head to reduce waste material, and a fan attached to said head and disposed adjacent said waste reducer to aggressively output the reduced waste material from the rotor assembly of the waste processing machine.

12. A processing tool as set forth in claim 11 wherein said tool holder comprises a first arm extending radially and a second arm extending radially and spaced from said first arm.

13. A processing tool as set forth in claim 12 wherein said multi-functional tool is attached to said first arm.

14. A processing tool as set forth in claim 13 including a raker attached to said second arm.

15. A processing tool as set in claim 11 wherein said fan has a width greater than said waste reducer.

16. A processing tool as set forth in claim 11 wherein said fan is located radially inward of said waste reducer.

17. A processing tool as set forth in claim 11 wherein said waste reducer is a cutter made of a carbide material for cutting waste material.

18. A waste processing machine comprising:

a rotor assembly;

a tool holder attached to said rotor assembly, wherein said tool holder includes a first arm extending radially and a second arm extending radially and spaced from said first arm; and

a single multi-functional tool having a shaft attached to either one of said first arm and said second arm of said tool holder, a head attached to said shaft, a cutter attached to said head to reduce waste material, and a fan attached to said head and disposed adjacent said cutter, said fan having a width greater than a width of said cutter and located radially inward of said cutter to aggressively output the reduced waste material from said rotor assembly.
