Cremulator is the name of the machine. Hard to say if the pic is one, hard to say it isn't one tho, crushing machines all look alike and work alike, you could rip the cremulator out of your local crematorium and put it to work doing limestone if you really wanted.

Thanks. I learn something every day.
Do you know if a Cremulator could crush 6,000 Jews a day? Do they break down often, how much maintenance do they require?
The numbers don’t seem to be adding up.
They're generally used one creature at a time so the bereaved get 100% pure their loved-one in the casket. I'm told the machines used for bulk grinding the bones from livestock work different to a cremulator, probably designed more for bulk and less for being cleaned down after every run.
There's video I saw somewhere online of a machine which chops up an entire car, literally tears it into shreds in about 20 seconds.

This machine is similar to what placer miners use to sort gravel to find gold. No “crusher” visible.

Is this why they look like they are wearing miners clothes, and not striped prison pajamas?

I read up a bit more of what this machine supposedly does, and it had big ball bearings or rocks inside the tumbler - that would make it crush things, but very inefficiently. More like those rock polishers.

They do use bone crushing machines, yes. Are you asking about some specific aspect of that machine in particular?

I’m seriously curious. I thought cremation takes care of everything.

No, bones don't burn. Neither do teeth. That all has to be crushed in a grinder, after the cremation, to make them into unrecognizably small fragments.
Teeth are basically very hard rocks, and bones aren't much softer. Take a chicken bone and cook it in your oven as high as the heat goes for as long as you can stand... It won't go anywhere.

Here's a deluxe model. There are other, cheaper ones on that same site, as well.
