Abstract
A comminuting apparatus for garden waste consists of a cutter support plate rotating about a vertical axis in a cutter housing provided with a laterally directed outlet channel. The support plate includes cutting slots and slicing cutters thereabove. The support plate further includes at least one dependent discharge blade located on the underside thereof. At least one spiral deflecting vane is mounted on the cutter housing beneath the support plate. Upon rotation of the cutter support, the cutting slots and slicing cutters cooperate to direct comminuted material downwardly through the support plate, while the dependent discharge blade and the spiral deflecting vane cooperate to force comminuted material out through the laterally directed outlet channel.
