ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus for pulverizing empty glass bottles into small fragments of a predetermined maximum size to reduce greatly the storage and handling problems associated in the past with empty bottles. The apparatus comprises a cabinet having a vertical passageway with spaced diaphragms through which bottles are delivered to a pulverizing station where the bottles are smashed into small fragments. The pulverizing station includes a spinning metal pulverizing blade surrounded and partially enclosed by a tapered metal cowl. The spinning blade and cowl together ensure that bottles are pulverized completely and into fragments of at most a predetermined maximum size before being deposited into a receptacle that underlies the pulverizing station. Required storage space and handling time are thus greatly reduced.
