Preferably each stage imparts about 50% of the compacting effort.

An access opening (19) is provided at the upper end of the compaction space for insertion of refuse material into and removal of compacted refuse material from the compaction space.

Procedure and device for measuring the degree of compaction attained when compacting a foundation by means of a vibrating compaction tool.

The invention also concerns a soil compaction apparatus having the facility to monitor the level of compaction of the soil as compaction proceeds.

A refuse compactor (10) has a storage or compaction chamber (11), a lid (12) and a compaction blade (13).

The present invention also relates to a reverse vending machine comprising such a compacting apparatus, use of such a compacting apparatus, and a method of compacting objects.

The disclosure concerns an assembly for vibrating a compacting drum of a compacting machine.

A compaction unit (21) is associated with the at least one punch, wherein the compaction unit includes a high velocity compaction, HVC, ram unit.

A compacting apparatus (10) has an impact apparatus (17) and a compactor (19).

As a result, the speed of the compaction equipment oscillates, and the compaction process is improved.

The drive means (28) is operably connected to the compacting means (27), and, during a compacting operation, the drive means (28) drives the compacting means (27) into the receptacle (19).

The compaction means comprises a body (11) which defines a chamber (13).

A metal chip and shaving compactor includes a compaction housing (80) having a compaction chamber (82) with a compaction piston (64) extending into the chamber.

A compaction device structure supports a series of individual interdependent segments including a compaction surface.

Estimation of the degree of compaction of a bed using a compacting machine working according to the oscillatory principle.
