Macerator

The Macerator is an all purpose grinding machine, capable of breaking down many ores and other items into their base components.

For example, the Macerator grinds down one ore block into two dusts, each of which can be smelted into an Ingot (except coal). Easily doubles your mining profits! It uses either a direct Cable connection or an energy storage item (Single-use Battery or RE Battery)

It can later be upgraded to a Rotary Macerator.

Doubling Mining Effort
If you Macerate specific Ores into dust, you can receive 2 dusts for every ore. For an example, placing 1 Gold Ore in the Macerator will yield you 2 Gold Dusts. If you then place the 2 dusts into a furnace (like you normally would the ore) you'll receive 2 Gold Ingots. This will double your mining efforts for Gold and every other ore you mine.

Usage
For ore dust, go here: Dusts

It can also be upgraded to a Rotary Macerator.

Energy
🇪🇺 Maximum Input: 32 EU/t before exploding. Storage before upgrade: 800EU

Upgrade
The four slots on the right are used to upgrade the machine. The three upgrades that are available are the Overclocker Upgrade, the Transformer Upgrade and the Energy Storage Upgrade.

Tips
If attempting to reclaim a macerator do NOT use any type of pick, as this has adverse effects on the fragile components of the block. This will revert the panel back to a generator. Use a electric wrench to remove the macerator properly. The safest method is using the electric wrench in "Lossless" mode.
