The present invention relates to unique waste recycling machines possessing improved efficacy in recycling bulky waste materials to a recycled waste product. The feed for the machine is equipped with a floating stripper plate which scrapes adhering waste materials from a continuous metal apron feed. The device also includes a releasable cradle assembly which supports a striking bar and a screen positioned about a rotating drum equipped with impacting teeth or blades. When a damaging obstacle enters an impacting or fragmenting zone of the machine, a shear pin which maintains the cradle assembly in a fragmenting position will shear causing the cradle assembly to become dislodged to an inoperable or non-damaging position. The machine also includes impacting teeth which are dynamically balanced and positioned upon a rotating impacting drum so as to effectuate especially effective fragmentation of waste materials to a desired particle size.
A releasable cradle assembly for use in a waste processing machine comprised of an impacting rotor equipped with impacting teeth rotationally carried about a cylindrical drum, and a separable and removable screen for screening particulated wastes therethrough, said cradle assembly comprising:
A method for using a waste processing machine comprised of an impacting rotor equipped with impacting teeth rotationally carried about a cylindrical drum, a screen for screening particulated wastes therethrough, a supportive cradle frame for supportively securing the screen thereto;
