Macerator

The Macerator is an Industrial Craft 2 machine. Its main purpose is to increase the output of various ores and raw items, such as Bones and Blaze Rods. Every ore block placed in the Macerator becomes two Dust of that kind of ore, which can then be smelted into two ingots, thereby doubling your ore output.

The Macerator is a Low Voltage machine and can only accept 32 EU/t. If one wishes to connect the Macerator to the MFE, MFSU, or any of the Medium and High Voltage generators, a Transformer Upgrade is required. Without Overclocker Upgrades, the Macerator takes 800 EU to process one item.

The Macerator's GUI resembles the vanilla Furnace's GUI. Power sources, such as the RE-Battery, can be placed in the bottom slot, while the items to be processed are placed in the top slot.

Like most of Industrial Craft 2's machines, four upgrade slots are available on the right side of the GUI. The Overclocker Upgrade can speed up the Macerator's operation at the cost of drawing more power, the Transformer Upgrade allows the use of Medium and High Voltage energy sources, such as the MFE, the Medium Voltage Solar Array, or the Energy Crystal, and the Energy Storage Upgrade allows the Macerator to buffer more EU in its internal memory storage, allowing it to run longer without being powered.

The Macerator is also used to craft its advanced version, the Rotary Macerator.
