Crushers
Dear Mrs. Mohandes,
"Wals" might come from the german word "Walze" and would then mean a roller crusher.
However, from your picture it is not clear to me if this is not a hammer crusher or hammer mill.
Did you find any brand name on the items, esp. on machine baseframe? How do the other parts look like, esp. the wear heads and the machine base? What process was the machine used for?
Kind regards

Re: Wals Crusher
Despite that the photo does not really look like it/it is a wild guess on my behalf, perhaps a roller screen:

No Nameplate - No Wonder!
Thanks for the link Lyle.
The subject machine does resemble a modification of a roller screen with flame cut hammer insertions.
I bet you don't see many though. I find the FLS introductory claim " a low maintenance, high efficiency " device rather silly.
Back to the source machine: this seems to be an improved tramp iron generator! ■

Nice Tune As Per John
Well, on a lighter note,
a) if running on sufficient rpm this truly must produce a nice sound.. before everything gets tramping around .. ;-)
b) just assuming a 3 rod connection of the "stars", the flame cut inserts would make an imbalance, so lets not rotate that too much...
c) Not offence meant:
Perhaps this is a conglomerate of idle scrap metal parts someone put together to watch the comments and snigger away a bit at the wise and the prudent producing their personal oracle?

More Picture
Thanks to all.
I have attached photos of body of the crusher(the machine disassembled for maintenance).
This crusher is a used one and we don't have any information about its manufacturer.
This crusher has been used for crushing bentonite, however when the material moisture content become too much (above 14%), its efficiency become too low.
As it has only one rotor, I don't think it can be a roller crusher.

One Step Ahead
Dear Mrs. Mohandes,
thank you for precising!
If it's a single shaft machine, then it's a hammer mill.
Example pictures:
Pls. indulge me a question: On your first photo, are the 6 pointed thick flamecut plates really mounted upon the thin longbolt connecting the thinner 3 pointed plates or are they not rather distance plates which are to be mounted upon the main shaft between the thinner 3 pointed plates?
Regards

Name?
Dear Roland,
Thanks a lot. However would you please inform me what is the correct spell of the crusher name (walse is true?)?
Regarding to my first photo, it is not assembled completely and the other flamecut plates will sit on that rod.
I hope below photo help to find answer.

Naming
Dear Mrs. Mohandes,
your applications denomination is definitely "hammer mill".
My previous information concerning the German denomination for a roller crusher was based on the incomplete database at that point in time and bears no further substance to the matter.
Kind regards

Ring Hammer Crusher
Dear Mrs. Mohandes,
The device in your photos is a ring hammer crusher.
Useful for turning friable materials, such as dry, bentontite clay lumps into powder.
I have attached a cross-section view of a typical interior to compare with your disassembled parts.
