Method for shredding portions of bituminous material into recyclable granules

Abstract

Described herein is a machine (1) for shredding portions (30) of bituminous material in the solid state into recyclable granules (31) of small dimensions comprising a shredding unit (5), which in turn comprises a perforated tubular body (6), and a pressing member (7) for pushing the portions (30) into the perforated tubular body (6) in such a way as to force the bituminous material by compression to come out through the holes of the perforated tubular body (6) so as to obtain a plurality of substantially filiform extruded portions (33) of the bituminous material, and a cutting member (8) for cutting the extruded portions (33) coming out of the holes of the perforated tubular body (6) in such a way as to obtain the granules (31) of small dimensions.
