ABSTRACT:
The shredding apparatus comprises a shredder housing with an inlet having a flow regulator that feeds insulation into the housing at a selected rate. A blade assembly is positioned within the housing adjacent the inlet. The blade assembly rotates about an axis designating an insulation flow direction. The blade assembly has a plurality of knife blades that are arranged in a helix about the axis, and are operable to catch insulation fed from the flow regulator. A stator positioned adjacent the blade assembly obstructs the insulation caught on the blade assembly such that the blade assembly shreds the insulation. The blade assembly urges the shredded insulation to an auger positioned coaxially with the blade assembly that discharges the shredded insulation from the housing.
