Productivity

Increases dumpster capacity for broken shards, by volume and weight, over breaking glass by hand.

Waste glass shards are run through the breaker, and then are conveyed to the dumpster. This allows the operator to stay at his/her workstation.

Safety

The use of the brush and deflector assemblies within the chute reduces the risk of the operator(s) being injured by the shrapnel debris that can potentially be ejected from the chute during the breaking process.

This system removes the risk of injury that arises from the disposal of waste glass by hand, which involves throwing the glass into a dumpster to break it up into smaller shards.

The glass dust created by this system, compared to other glass crushing systems, is minimal, which maintains good air quality for the operator(s).
