  • Patent number: 5524837
    Abstract: The apparatus consists of a glass breaker alone or a glass granulator alone or combinations of the two machines along with a screen/sieve and cullet mover mechanism to sort or size the glass particles for further reprocessing or for use an end product of the glass processing apparatus. The glass breaker breaks the glass objects using a rotating shaft with breaker bars attached thereto. The glass containers are shattered by impact with radially extending members of a rotating shaft and by causing the glass to impact a breaker plate within a breaking chamber. The granulator is used to process glass cullet to create glass particles of selected size for the purpose of recycling. As a result of the granulation of the glass, it is possible to separate out or screen out the non-glass articles such as caps, rings, paper etc.
