A glass pulverization apparatus including a cylindrical pulverization chamber having a pair of case hardened steel impeller blades located therein for pulverizing glass articles or the like. The peripheral speed and the unit torque of the impeller blades along with a gap maintained between the end of the respective impeller blades and the surface of the cylindrical pulverization chamber ensures rapid pulverization of glass articles or the like. An escape aperture, which is offset from a vertical line normal to the horizontal axis of the drive shaft that rotates the impeller blades, provides for a secondary means of determining the end size of the pulverized glass. A receiving chute is positioned at a 45 DEG angle to the cylindrical pulverization chamber to facilitate the rapid pulverization of the glass articles or the like.
