Apparatus for compaction of empty (disposable) hollow bodies (beverage containers), particularly plastic bottles or tin cans, having at least one rotating pressure roller that is disposed at a distance from a counter-bearing, forming a gap, wherein

• the mantle surface of the pressure rollers, in their working region, are formed in the same manner, wherein each of the rollers, in the axial direction, in its working region, possesses multiple regions of the same width, wherein these regions are separated from one another, in each instance, by a circumferential recess, and wherein each of these regions—viewed axially—has multiple sections that follow one another and are separated from one another, wherein one of these sections possesses multiple cam-shaped projections that project radially away from the mantle surface, which preferably are simultaneously perforation elements.

• each of the rollers possesses multiple regions having the same width, in the axial direction, in its working region, wherein these regions are separated from one another by a circumferential recess, in each instance, and wherein
• each of these regions—viewed axially—has multiple sections that follow one another and are spaced apart from one another, wherein one of these sections possesses multiple cam-shaped projections that project radially away from the mantle surface, as an apparatus for comminution of hollow bodies/containers made of glass, which correspond to a beverage container in terms of their shape and size.
