  • Publication number: 20130022404
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for compacting material in a unit. In one embodiment the compacting apparatus comprises an attaching device, a base coupled to the attaching device, and a head coupled to the base, wherein the head comprises at least one sloping face. The head is lowered within the unit to compact material within the unit. As force is applied by the head, the sloping face distributes the force in a direction normal to the slope of the face. This compacts the material within the unit and prevents the formation of voids within the unit.
