A soap chip recycler presents a housing having inner and outer walls surrounding an interior, vertical compartment. The compartment presents a lower dissolution zone having a motor-driven blade assembly and a dispenser zone above the dissolution zone. A pump assembly extends through a lid, the latter engaging a rim surrounding an aperture in the top wall of the housing. The pump assembly includes a depending conduit extending into the compartment and terminating above the dissolution zone. The energized coil heats the compartment to a temperature consistent with soap liquefaction. The over/under zone relationship directs any soap particles approaching a solidified state to the bottom of the compartment for pulverization by the blade assembly so as to preclude interference with the pump assembly.

Apparatus for processing soap chips into a liquid solution and dispensing the solution for downstream use comprising: a housing having an interior vertical compartment, said compartment including a dissolution zone at a bottom of said housing for the soap chips and a dispensing zone above said disso

Apparatus for processing soap chips into a liquid solution and dispensing the solution for downstream use comprising: a housing having an interior vertical compartment, said compartment including a dissolution zone at a bottom of said housing for the soap chips and a dispensing zone above said dissolution zone; means about said compartment for heating the soap chips and any liquid solution therein; a motor-driven blade assembly in said dissolution zone only for breaking down soap matter, including the soap chips, into particles for mixture with the solution, the chips being heated to a temperature by said heating means, said soap matter either being manually inserted into said housing or being solidified soap matter falling from said dispensing zone into said dissolution zone; fluid dispensing means positioned entirely above said dissolution zone for removing solution found in said dispensing zone only from said housing, the solution being generally free of solidified soap matter; circuit means for selectably energizing a coil circumscribing a vertical extent of said compartment whereby heat from said coil converts the soap chips into a liquified form and maintains said liquified chips at a liquid state.
