ABSTRACT:
An improved glass crushing apparatus for a reverse bottle vending, crushing and sorting machine having an opentop, rotatable receptacle mounted at the top of the bin for catching the bottle to be smashed in the bin. After receipt of the bottle, the receptacle is rotated by a stepping motor controlled by the microprocessor and the bottle is dropped onto and smashed by a rotating impeller which contacts and throws the bottle against a reinforced, sharp corner of the bin. The crushed glass or glass cullet is then collected in a predesignated collection bin.
