This manual describes the operational features for the BDS model Bottle Disintegration System. Please review
this information before attempting installation and operations. Long term, trouble-free operations will follow if
good housekeeping and maintenance procedures are followed. Thank you for selecting Glastender, Inc. products.
It is simply a piece of machinery that crushes or breaks down glass bottles, reducing the area needed to store
empty containers and minimizing the volume for disposal purposes. When the ON/OFF switch is on, a motor
will run causing the crusher bar to spin rapidly. Glass bottles are introduced into the machine through the bottle
chute. When they come in contact with the crusher bar, they are reduced to small pieces of glass called cullet.
The cullet falls down the drum and into the bucket in the bottom enclosure of the machine.
For the machine to function normally:
• The bucket must be in place and seated fully in the unit
• The door must be closed
• The covers must be in place
• The crusher bar must be spinning at top speed (allow a minimum of 3 seconds before inserting a bottle)
