ABSTRACT:
A household compactor and separator utilizes linear motion in crushing glass and metal refuse for comminution and separation. A crushing element disposed on a worm shaft crushes refuse against a steel grate, broken glass falling therethrough into a glass receptacle. Crushed metal cans fall into a metal receptacle when the grate is released to swing downwardly. The grate is restored to its original position by pulling control lines via a handle, and the grate is secured by solenoid operated latches. The worm shaft is driven by an electric motor operating through a gear box. The compactor is housed in an enclosure having upper and lower doors and pushbutton controls located in the front. Refuse is inserted through the upper door into a compaction chamber. The glass and metal receptacles are removed through the lower door for emptying. Safety switches sense door, grate, and crushing element positions, inhibiting operation if an unsafe condition is sensed.
