Abstract: A crusher is provided that can stably crush various information media, such as paper, magnetic recording media including cassette tapes and the like, optical recording media, and substrates, and the like, and has excellent maintainability. Hammer members 29 that extend from a rotation shaft 45 in a radial direction and rotate with a rotation of the rotation shaft 45 are housed in a casing 21 that includes an upper loading opening 22 for loading an object to be crushed and a lower discharge opening 23 for discharging a crushed object. Fixed blades 47 are arranged within the casing 21 on an outer diameter side of the hammer members. The hammer members 29 and the fixed blades 47 crush the object to be crushed when the hammer members 29 are rotated. A guide path 20 that that guides the object to be crushed that is loaded from the upper loading opening 22 into a crushing chamber 26 in which the object to be crushed is crushed by the hammer members 29 and the fixed blades 47 is provided within the casing 21.
