Abstract: A comminuting apparatus for comminuting comminution stock like recyclable material, waste and product residues, including a comminuting rotor mounted rotatably to a machine frame and having comminuting tools arranged thereon, a receiving region for receiving comminution stock and a feed device having a ram device which is moveable in the direction towards the comminuting rotor by a drive device and which is adapted for feeding comminution stock to the comminuting rotor. The comminuting apparatus is distinguished in that the drive device of the feed device has at least two spaced electric actuators which are controlled by a control device and which are connected at the drive output side by a transverse member, wherein the transverse member is operatively connected to the ram device by a resilient damping device.
