Granulator mill (1) comprising granule chamber (3) comprising at least one non-rotatable blade (4), rotatable rotor (8) arranged inside the granule chamber (3), the rotor (8) comprising a number of blades (10) which are arranged for cooperation with the non-rotatable blade (4), a infeed hopper (5) for feeding waste into the granule chamber, a grid arranged in the granule chamber, where through granulated waste is allowed to pass to an outfeed hopper (30). A scraping device (15) is provided in a space (14) located axially in between a housing (2) and the rotatable rotor (8) and the scraping device (15) is attached to the housing (2).

The invention relates to a crushing apparatus (1) for crushing material to be crushed, especially for use in the field of recycling and waste processing, with at least one crushing roller (2) that can rotate about an axis of rotation (3), at least one drive device (4) for driving the crushing roller (2), and a frame (5) for supporting and mounting the crushing roller (2) and the drive device (4). According to the invention, it is provided that the crushing roller (2) and the drive device (4) form a common assembly connected to at least one damping device (16), which is frictionally and/or elastically mounted in or on the frame (5).

A medical waste processing device includes an outer housing, material intake chamber having a passageway through which material passes, and cutting members contained within the housing that cuts and shreds the waste material before entering a waste receptacle that is located in the lower portion of the housing. A vacuum filter system is further provided to capture and filter potentially harmful aerosols that may be emitted during operation of the device. A method is also provided for reducing the volume of waste material through operation of the electrical shredding device.
