ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for smashing empty glass receptacles into predetermined sizes to facilitate the collection, storage, transportation and recycling of glass chard and/or cullets is disclosed. The apparatus includes a cabinet or housing that is comprised of two sections. The upper section has two compartments, a rear compartment that contains the motors, gears and electrical wiring. The upper front section has a hinged lid that can be opened to expose a loading trough. The lower section is sealed from the upper section by means of a partition that contains a rotary tray door that remains in the closed position until the upper lid has been closed and the safety circuit activated and the hammer mill blades have reached optimum revolution speed. The rotary hammer mill blades are attached by means of the vertical drive shaft at the under side of the upper and lower chamber partition just below the slideable tray door. The lower chamber also holds the glass chard or cullet collection container cradle frame. Another embodiment of the apparatus has a housing having an upper chamber and a lower chamber being separated by a partition, a top and a base. A motor means is mounted within the rearward section and has a pulley shaft connected to a hammer mill blade shaft that has a first end and a second end. The first end extends into the lower chamber. There is a rotatable panel that defines a hole therein sized to fit the hole formed by the partition. The rotatable panel is attached to a rotatable panel shaft. There is a weighing means disposed in the base of the housing and a means for cleaning the forward section, the lower chamber, and the hammer mill blades.
