Abstract
An apparatus for the pulping of waste material is disclosed including a tank, an impeller, a slurry chamber, and a discharge pipe for removal of slurry from the chamber. A flow directing device is provided within the chamber for increasing the flow into the discharge pipe. The device is appropriately positioned and shaped so that it will deflect the slurry from its rotational flow in the chamber to the discharge pipe. If the impeller is positioned horizontally at the bottom of the tank, it is preferably positioned off-center so waste material will not directly impinge upon the cutting surfaces when added to the tank. If the impeller is vertically oriented, the tank may be mounted on shock absorbers or resilient legs to minimize vibration.
