<p>Glass bottle breaking apparatus comprises a hopper ( 17 ) for receiving empty glass bottles ( 47 ) in bulk, at least a portion of the hopper ( 17 ) being formed as a grating including stop means ( 31 ), and a shaft ( 22 ) located outside of the hopper ( 17 ) carrying hammers ( 43, 44 ) mounted for pivotal movement relative to the shaft. When the shaft ( 22 ) is rotated on its central longitudinal axis by means of a motor ( 23 ) and drive ( 37, 39, 40 ), the flailing hammers ( 43, 44 ) move in an arcuate path into and through the hopper ( 17 ) towards and through the stop means ( 31 ) and impact with bottles ( 47 ) contained within the hopper ( 17 ) and lying in the path of the hammers ( 43, 44 ) causing breakage of the bottles ( 47 ). The apparatus provides for a compact bottle breaking machine with reduced risk of jamming.</p> |
