ABSTRACT:
An apparatus having a pair of rollers disposed below an input hopper so that beverage bottles having caps thereon will be pulled between these rollers as they rotate in opposite directions, thereby compressing the bottles, and at the same time exploding the top off of the bottle. A screen is provided below the rollers for receiving the bottles and caps and the screen has openings therein larger than the caps and smaller than the bottles, whereby the caps will be collected below the screen and the bottles can pass on to a separate collection area.
