<p>An apparatus (10) for comminuting glass is disclosed having a housing (12). Within the housing (12) are a plurality of weighted members (14) or hammers flexibly connected to and spaced about a rotatable shaft (16). A drive member (18) rotates the shaft, causing the hammers (14) to rotate about the shaft (16) and define a rotation circumference (17). A glass intake opening (20) located at the top portion of the housing (12) is provided to introduce glass into the apparatus (10). A first adjustable plate (22) is located adjacent the glass intake opening (20) and positioned to provide a space between the first adjustable plate (22) and the hammer's rotation circumference (17). A first glass suspension chamber (24) is defined by the glass intake opening (20), the first adjustable plate (22), and the rotation circumference (17) of the hammers (14). Adjusting the space between the first adjustable plate (22) and the weigthed member's rotation circumference (17) helps control the resulting particle size of the comminuted glass as does controlling the shaft (16) rotation speed.</p> |
