Apparatus ( 2 ) for crushing glass or ceramic material, which apparatus ( 2 ) comprises a rotor ( 4 ), rotor blades ( 6 ) on the rotor ( 4 ), at least one stationary blade ( 8 ) which cooperates in use with the rotor blades ( 6 ) as the rotor ( 4 ) rotates, and a chamber ( 16 ) for receiving crushed glass or ceramic material ( 18 ), the apparatus ( 2 ) being such that the rotor ( 4 ) is upstream of the chamber ( 16 ), the glass or ceramic material ( 18 ) is first broken into fragments ( 20 ) on impact with the rotor ( 4 ), the fragments ( 20 ) are reduced in size and formed into cullet ( 22 ) by passing through a gap ( 24 ) between the rotor blades ( 6 ) and the stationary blade ( 8 ), and the action of the rotor blades ( 6 ) and the stationary blade ( 8 ) causes the cullet ( 22 ) to be such that it will not cut, is safe for handling, and is suitable for further use without further processing. |
