ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for kneading used fluid filters having an initial kneader and a final kneader disposed subsequent to the inital kneader. The initial kneader includes a first roller and a second roller disposed on the frame adjacent to the first roller at a distance less than the diameter of the used fluid filter. The first and second rollers include a bar extending longitudinally along the perimeter of each of the first and second rollers for grabbing the used fluid filter. The second roller rotates faster than the first roller and includes a high bar extending longitudinally along the perimeter of the second roller for shearing away the filter plate from the filter canister. The final kneader includes a fifth roller and a sixth roller on the frame adjacent to the fifth roller at a distance less than the distance between the first roller and the second roller. The fifth and sixth rollers include a plurality of points. A floater is used for biasing together the fifth roller to the sixth roller and includes an air bag assembly. Each kneader may include a thickness adjuster. The final kneader may also have a dejammer that uses a hydraulic cylinder. An intermediate kneader is optionally disposed between the initial kneader and the final kneader.
