3.5.3. Glass Compactor
As shown in Figure 3-12, seven crusher bars transverse the crusher shaft. Each crusher bar has four car-
bide-tipped screws (two on each side of the shaft) to concentrate pressure on the glass. When the shaft
rotates clockwise, the crusher bars push the bottle against metal protrusions inside of the unit. Six car-
bide-tipped screws in the top of the frame puncture bottles that do not fall flat into the unit. A proxim-
ity sensor monitors the crusher speed by monitoring the
RPM
of the large gear on the front of the unit.
