Abstract: A transportable shredder comprises a comminutor, a horizontal intake conveyor on one side of the comminutor, and a discharge conveyor movable from a stowed position, where it is partly underneath the intake conveyor, to an operating position where it extends obliquely upward on the discharge side of the comminutor. The discharge conveyor has journals which are releasably held in bearings formed by latches and cooperating notches.

Abstract: A trailer mounted shredding machine for reducing solid waste materials to a chip or fragmented consistency which includes an auger having a spiral conveying flight which includes a plurality of replaceable cutting teeth. The cutting teeth cooperate with replaceable anvil teeth mounted so as to extend within a conveying drum in which the auger is rotatably mounted. Material is loaded within a receiving hopper positioned above the auger and processed material is discharged through an opening which is axially oriented with respect to the auger. The processed materials are discharged onto an elevating conveyor which is driven by engagement with the auger drive shaft.
