<p>An apparatus (A) for converting unconsolidated medical waste into a non-hazardous medical waste residue, which apparatus has an improved cutter assembly provided by a rotating cutter assembly that has revolving teeth (R, R ) disposed at an oblique angle relative to the path of travel of the rotating teeth and to the stationary cutter assembly (F, F ) to force the waste material between the revolving teeth (R, R ) and fixed teeth (F, F ). An auger (15b, 25) moves the waste through the housing (10, 12) longitudinally to keep pressure on the opposing fixed and revolving teeth (F, F , R, R ) while grinding the material into a reduced particle size to facilitate its disposal or storage.</p> |
