Abstract: A comminuting device for waste products and/or production waste is described that includes a driving device that drives at least one comminuting rotor presenting on the periphery thereof a number of comminuting tools that are fixed to the comminuting rotor, for forming at least one knife bank extending in the axial direction with one directional component The comminuting tools cooperates with at least one counterknife arrangement adapted in its form to the rotation surface of the comminuting rotor equipped with said tools, for disintegrating the material to be processed. Neighboring comminuting tools within a knife bank are arranged adjacent to each other at respectively associated lateral faces and offset to each other on the periphery of the rotor, such that equivalent cutting edges of neighboring comminuting tools have the same distance to the rotor axis and each lie in a plane that runs parallel to the rotor axis.
