Abstract: Apparatus (2) for crushing glass or ceramic material, which apparatus (2) comprises a rotor (4), rotor blades (6) on the rotor (4), at least one stationary blade (8) which cooperates in use with the rotor blades (6) as the rotor (4) rotates, and a chamber (16) for receiving crushed glass or ceramic material (18), the apparatus (2) being such that the rotor (4) is upstream of the chamber (16), the glass or ceramic material (18) is first broken into fragments (20) on impact with the rotor (4), the fragments (20) are reduced in size and formed into cullet (22) by passing through a gap (24) between the rotor blades (6) and the stationary blade (8), and the action of the rotor blades (6) and the stationary blade (8) causes the cullet (22) to be such that it will not cut, is safe for handling, and is suitable for further use without further processing.
