Abstract: A chopping-grinding mill for used objects and other waste materials includes a base, on which a disc-shaped vertical-axis rotor (2) is rotatably mounted, the rotor (2) having a plurality of cutting blades (5, 6) fixed to its upper surface. A disc-shaped coaxial stator (3) is associated with the rotor (2) and carries a plurality of cutting blades (II, 12) fixed to its lower surface. The stator (3) is fixed at an adjustable distance above the rotor (2), which together define a grinding chamber. Primary cutting blades (5, II) extend from the centre to the periphery of the rotor (2) and stator (3) and secondary cutting blades (6, 12) extend only in correspondence of a peripheral crown of the rotor (2) and of the stator (3), while a feeding window (10) of the material to be ground is provided in the stator (3), in the area inside to the peripheral crown.
