APPARATUS HAVING AN AUGER-COMPACTER FOR REDUCING THE VOLUME OF WASTE MATERIALS

摘要

Apparatus for reducing in volume waste material or garbage comprising a pulverizer or hammermill receiving wet and dry organic and inorganic material, comminuting this waste material and delivering it in particle form to an auger-compacter. An air flow is likewise developed by the pulverizer and the apparatus recycles air to the pulverizer to assist in positively delivering waste material to the pulverizer. The auger-compacter has a helical screw that compacts the comminuted waste material or garbage in a compaction zone and delivers the compacted garbage reduced in volume as an output of the apparatus.
