A machine is capable of cutting into pieces a plurality of diposable containers such as plastic bottles and metal cans. The machine includes a loading section, a cutting section and a collecting section. The cutting section includes a pair of parallel shafts mounted for rotation in opposite directions. Each of the shafts supports a plurality of cutting wheels keyed for rotation therewith. The cutting wheels of one shaft overlap the cutting wheels on the other shaft as each cutting wheel is axially separated from axially adjacent cutting wheels thereon by one of the cutting wheels on the other shaft. A plurality of combers in aligned with each cutting wheel to provide a gap between the cutting teeth and the end of the comber. The disposable containers are cut between the cutting wheels of one shaft and the cutting wheels of the other shaft with the pieces passing through the gap between the end of the comber and the cutting wheel teeth.

A machine is capable of cutting into pieces disposable containers such as plastic bottles and metal cans. A first cutting section includes a pair of parallel shafts mounted for rotation in opposite directions. Each of the shafts supports a plurality of cutting wheels keyed for rotation therewith. The cutting wheels of one shaft overlap the cutting wheels on the other shaft as each cutting wheel is axially separated from axially adjacent cutting wheels thereon by one of the cutting wheels on the other shaft. A comber is aligned with each cutting wheel to provide a gap between the cutting teeth and the end of the comber. The disposable containers are cut into first pieces between the cutting wheels of one shaft and the cutting wheels of the other shaft. The first pieces from the first cutting section pass to a second cutting section to be cut into smaller, second pieces. The invention also includes the method of cutting the disposable containers in pieces.

A shredding machine having a housing, a first and a second parallel spaced apart rotatably driven shafts rotatably mounted in the housing at end plates fixedly attached to the housing, driving means in the housing and operably connected to the shafts to drive the shafts counter to each other, a plurality of interfitting cutters having annular cutting surfaces disposed on the shafts and locked against rotation on the shafts by locking means, at least two support rods fixedly attached at their ends to the end plates, the support rods being parallel to each other and to the first and second shafts, a comber interposed between each of the cutters, each comber having at least two openings therethrough, one support shaft in registration with and of slightly smaller diameter than one of the openings to provide mechanical support for each comber, the first and second shafts in registration with and of slightly smaller diameter than another of the openings in each comber to provide further mechanical support for each comber, each comber free floating along the axis of the first and second shafts and the support rods to which the comber is coupled, but mechanically supported substantially perpendicular to the axis, each comber having a tongue protruding forwardly of the cutters to comb and direct the material being fed to the cutting surfaces of the cutters, the combers disposed on the first shaft having faces opposed and generally parallel to faces on the combers disposed on the second shaft, the faces defining the shredding path through the machine.
