ABSTRACT:
A machine for breaking up filled containers of milk, cottage cheese and the like after expiration of the freshness date and for recovering the food product for use as animal feed. The machine comprises an auger which rotates in an upwardly inclined barrel and which coacts with angularly spaced ribs in the barrel to break up the containers as they are advanced through the barrel by the auger. A discharge spout at the end of the barrel includes a pivoted gate which may be adjusted to vary the cross-sectional area of the spout and control the rate of advance of the containers according to the size and quantity of the containers. Food product which spills out of the broken up cartons flows downwardly along the barrel and is directed to a collection tank.
