Abstract: An incremental material urging system adapted to the compaction of a volume of compactable material including a container structure with floor, roof, and opposing side wall structures closed at a rearward end. The roof has a loading aperture for introducing the compactable material into the container structure. The system also includes an incrementing urging structure adapted to traversing substantially the length of the container structure. A discharge gate is provided at a discharge end of the container structure for the ejection of the compactable material. Two cooperating mechanical systems urge the incrementing urging structure into incremental horizontal motion within the container structure.

Abstract: An incremental urging system comprising a container structure including floor, roof, and side wall structures, and closed at a rearward end. A loading aperture is provided in the roof of the container structure for the introduction of compactable material. An incrementing urging structure traverses substantially the length of the container structure from a fully retracted position at the rearward end, to a fully advanced position at a forward or discharge end, with compactable material being ejected through a discharge gate at the forward. The incrementing urging structure is urged into incremental horizontal motion within the container structure by two cooperating mechanical systems.

Abstract: A compactor system (10) for compacting loose refuse or solids at a transfer station that provided consolidation of waste and transfer to specialised vehicles which take the compacted waste on to a final disposal site. The compactor system comprises a refuse receiving volume or compartment (16) for receipt or filling of loose refuse (25), a compacting device (11) to provide a vertical compacting force by ram operated movable base (19) and/or top (20) walls acting on the refuse within the volume (16) to form a compacted refuse load, and a compacted load transfer device (12) having a ram operated movable vertical surface (22) to move the load horizontally and into a refuse transport means or vehicle (15) via the end (13) closed with a movable end surface (21). The top wall (20) can be pivotally opened upwards to allow refuse to be tipped into the volume (16) along the entire length.
