The present invention relates to reducing apparatus for comminuting waste material, and comprises a rotating drum with outer screening apertures for allowing comminuted material to pass through, and which houses a reducing means which may comprise a rotating disc with teeth. To address problems inherent with certain types of waste, and particularly green waste, fibrous waste, and typical domestic waste, there is included a flexible biasing means for assisting in clearing screening apertures, breaking clumps of materials as they form and assisting in preventing their formation, to assist in a more even flow of raw material being presented to the reducing means. Preferred flexible biasing means include sheath portions distributed along their length. |
