Disclosed is a method and apparatus for emptying containers filled with a resin or other friable material having a tendency to stick to the container walls. The containers have their tops removed, are inverted, and fed into the space between a stationary outer cylinder and a rotatable inner cylinder. These containers are squeezed between the cylinders as they rotate and progress approximately 315 DEG about the periphery of the inner cylinder, so that the friable material is cracked and broken up and falls by gravity from the open, inverted top of the container.
