Rotary Macerator

The Rotary Macerator is an upgraded version of the Macerator.

Depending on how long you've had items in it, the Rotary Macerator can be much faster than the Macerator. Applying a Redstone current, like with the Induction Furnace, will increase its RPM count, but will constantly draw power. The machine won't go faster than 7500 RPM, unless there are Overclocker Upgrades. Then it would go up 500 RPM every upgrade, making the maximum 10,500 RPM with 6 Overclocker upgrades. Adding a seventh Overclocker upgrade will not reach 11,000 RPM, instead will jump up to 10,800 RPM then fluctuate rapidly and decreasing. (Note: Adding an Energy Storage Upgrade will increase the Maximum RPM to 11,500 with 8 Overclocker Upgrades.)

When you put an item into it, the Rotary Macerator starts at 0 RPM, going relatively slow, but the longer it grinds items the more RPM it gains, causing a drastic net boost in speed. When you take items out or when the items are depleted, the RPM will drop until it reaches 0, unless you place another item into it. However, applying a redstone current (you can place a lever directly onto it) will force it to start speeding up to its maximum RPM so that you don't have to give it a couple of minutes to spin up before use.

It uses 3 EU/t while in this state.

The Rotary Macerator holds up to two different items at once and can be upgraded.

The Rotary Macerator will accept up to 127 EU/t without exploding. Note that it will explode with 128 EU/t from a MV-transformer or an MFE, so make sure to use a LV-Transformer, BatBox or Transformer Upgrade before connecting it.
 * The second input slot is meant for modifiers. Modifiers and effect are:
 * Adding Iron Ore with Coal creates 2 Refined Iron Dust per ore, and uses 1 Coal per 2 stacks of iron.
 * Adding Copper Ore on the left and Tin Ore on the right creates 2 Bronze Dust per Copper Ore, using a Tin Ore every third Copper (as per the crafting recipe)
 * Adding coal with Water Cells creates 1 Hydrated Coal Dust per Coal, and uses 1 Water Cell per 8 Coal.
 * Modifiers that work with ores also work with ingots.

LATEST UPDATE: In Tekkit 3.1.2, the Rotary Macerator still explodes if it receives power directly from an MFE without a Transformer Upgrade.
