ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An improvement in a vertical screw cutter/mixer consisting of an inverted generally conical container and a vertical screw. The vertical screw is rotatably mounted within the container solely at its base. The improvement consists of a combination of elements. A spiral flight is provided on the screw consisting of a plurality of convolutions describing a truncated conical shape. Means is provided for mounting a plurality of blades to the screw such that they extend upwardly past the apex of the shaft of the screw. At least one of the blades is positioned adjacent a peripheral edge of an upper convolution of the flight such that a circular path is described by the peripheral blade which is substantially the same diameter as the upper convolution of the flight. Impaling fingers are positioned adjacent to the top of the container and extend inwardly. The impaling fingers are in substantially horizontal alignment with the upwardly extending blades. The impaling fingers are movable between an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position the fingers impede the speed of rotation of the bale to less than the speed of rotation of the screw whereupon the blades tear chunks of material from the bale. In the retracted position the fingers release the bale whereupon the hale descends upon by force of gravity further into the container until obstructed by the upper convolution of the flight of the conical screw.
