<p>An apparatus 100 for processing waste material comprising: a heat proof chamber 102, a means 106, 112 of heating the interior of the heat proof chamber 102 and a rotatable drum 118 for containing waste to be processed, said drum 118 having gaps or holes 120 therein and being located within the heat proof chamber 102 and separated therefrom around its edge by a gap. The apparatus 100 is also provided with a means 126, 128 for rotating the drum 118 at a speed such that, in use, waste material that is heat softened is centrifugally separated from the remainder of the waste and passes through the gaps 120 in the drum 118. A removable collection pan 116 and a waste retaining means 130 may be present while the means for heating is preferably hot gas introduced into the chamber 102 via inlet conduit 108. The apparatus is particularly useful for removing polymer insulation from cables.</p> |
