Abstract
A crushing device for crushing material such as scrap metal and refuse has a housing with a material feeding section and a material removal section for removing crushed material. A shaft with a rotor connected thereto is rotatably supported in the housing. The rotor comprises crushing members. The housing has abutments for cooperating with the crushing members. The feeding section is positioned below a horizontal plane in which the shaft is positioned. An outlet is positioned, when viewed in the rotational direction of the rotor, directly adjacent to and lower than the material feeding section for at least partially replacing the removal section.
