An apparatus for processing wet textile scrap glass into glass batch material comprising, in combination: a cylindrical member of specified circumference having an inlet frustum and an opposed outlet frustum; means for supplying preheated transfer media to said inlet frustum; means for supplying scrap glass to said inlet frustum to mix with such heated transfer media in said inlet frustum; means for rotating said cylindrical member thereby causing such mixture of scrap glass and heated transfer media to move toward said outlet frustum as such scrap glass is ground and heated by such heated transfer media; a first rod grating for separating such heated and ground scrap glass from such transfer media, said fist rod grating including a plurality of rod members axially aligned and spaced about such circumference of said cylindrical member immediately proximate said outlet frustum, such spacing of said rod members forming openings which are less than the diameter of such transfer media and providing an opening in said cylinder from the interior to the exterior of said cylinder; a second rod grating also proximate said outlet frustum and extending axially from the minor circumference of said outlet frustum in a direction away from said cylindrical member, said second rod grating including a second set of rod members oriented axially and spaced to form openings smaller than the diameter of such transfer media; and means for transporting such transfer media from said outlet frustum to said supply means for reheating.
