New Dawn Engineering's Glass Crusher is actually a slightly modified Rock Crusher. It is designed to get recycled glass bottles, panes and junk down to 19mm in size for efficient transport by rail or truck.
Though glass is quite heavy, and the work of crushing it is very light - a child can easily turn the handle. School programs collecting glass can crush it into containers for transport. Public programs can pay out cash based on the weight of glass crushed by the collector.
Output This has not been well documented (September 1997) but initial tests indicate a throughput of about 1 ton per day. Claiming 1/2 a ton is more in line with our usual modest claims (we don't like anyone to be disappointed) so this figure will be updated when actual data comes in from Swaziland's glass collection campaign which is about to start. Keep in mind that a 1.2 liter Coke bottle weighs more than 1 Kg so it is easy to process 2 in less than a minute.
