Abstract
An improved apparatus for shredding, crushing and grinding solid waste materials to the desired particle sizes and shape for waste disposal or other uses is provided in which two unitary i.e. one-piece shredding members having a composite cutting teeth and tooth spacing arrangement in intermeshing shredding relationship mounted on substantially parallel shafts and are positioned in a transverse arrangement to the direction of waste material flow as it is introduced into the crushing apparatus. A shredding element of each shredding member interacts with an element of the other member whereby the shredding elements cooperatively interact on an inlet side of the apparatus. On an outlet or discharge side of the interacting members is positioned relative to a sizing means or screen useful for the passage of solid waste material particles of predetermined size and configuration, while simultaneously rejecting the passage of other improperly sized and shaped particles, for reprocessing through the apparatus.
