Abstract
An apparatus for processing used belts and bands of a machine for printing sheet elements comprises an accumulation bin having an upper portion for receiving the belts and bands from a supply arrangement and a lower portion provided with a grinder for grinding the belts and bands into small pieces. The grinder is automatically placed in operation intermittently under the control of a control arrangement, and the output of the grinder either discharges directly into a transport receptacle for the waste or into an evacuation pipe which conveys the waste to a transport receptacle at a remote location.
