Apparatus for comminuting or finely dividing waste material, such as food waste and/or domestic waste, in water to form a slurry. The apparatus includes a tubular wall (11) whose inner surface has an axis about which the inner surface is rotationally symmetrical. The inner surface has disposed around the periphery of the wall slot-like sieve openings which are generally similarly orientated in relation to each other, wherewith the wall delimits a comminuting chamber which includes a rotationally-driven knife carrier which is adapted to rotate about the axis (2) of the wall (11), and which carries a cutting edge (41). The cutting edge (41) is adapted to move tightly adjacent the inner surface of the wall (11) and to sweep over the slot openings (8). The cutting edge (41) defines an angle in the region of 10-80 DEG relative to the length axis of respective swept slots, as seen in the inner surface of the wall (11), wherein the direction of rotation of the cutting edge deviates from the length axis of said slots by at least 10 DEG . |
