1. A mill for shredding scrap, comprising a shredding chamber able to contain scrap during the shredding and having a shredding unit, an inlet pipe connected to an opening of said shredding chamber, in order to transfer said scrap toward said shredding chamber, first thrust means associated with said inlet pipe, selectively movable between a loading position of said scrap into said inlet pipe and one or more intermediate positions to transfer by means of thrusting said scrap toward the shredding chamber, the mill comprising second thrust means, disposed in proximity with the inlet of the shredding chamber, selectively movable between an inactive position, in which they do not interfere with the introduction of said scrap into the shredding chamber by said first thrust means, and one or more thrust positions in which they introduce into the shredding chamber the scrap moved previously by said first thrust means in proximity with said opening, wherein said second thrust means comprise a first cylindrical segment portion, disposed transversely to the direction of advance of the scrap in the inlet pipe, pivoted on one of the tops thereof and suitable to rotate between said inactive position, in which said first cylindrical segment portion is disposed outside the inlet pipe, and said thrust positions in which said first cylindrical segment portion is disposed in such a manner that one of the lateral faces thereof thrusts the scrap from the inlet pipe toward the shredding chamber.
