Recycling Fans are devices found in Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, and work in a similar fashion to the meat grinders from Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee or bone saws in Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus. When stepped near, it'll activate and suck the victim into its blades, leaving them no chance to be able to run away from it. A Crane can be used to drop enemies into it, allowing the area to be cleared. They are only found in Sloghut 1027, Sloghut 2813, and Labor Egg Storage.
Strategy[]
Using a crane to drop hostile creatures into suction range of the fan can be used to clear otherwise troublesome groups of enemies. In the Sloghuts, this can be the only practical way to make the initial room clearable. In Labour Egg Storage, while there are other options, this is the only reliable way to remove interns.
Development[]
Recycling Fans are seen in the tech demos for both Munch's Oddysee and Hand of Odd. In these demos, you can see that they were originally meant to display the "ingredients" of the item. In a demo for Hand of Odd, specifically you can see Mudokon workers throwing chopped wood into a Recyling Fan, indicating that it would have been a resource collection building for the Land Grabber faction.
