Compaction press, which comprises: a support structure provided with an abutment surface; a first compaction lid, which is provided with a first flat compaction surface and is rotatably constrained to a first delimitation edge of the support structure; a second compaction lid, which is provided with a second curved compaction surface and is rotatably constrained to a second delimitation edge of the support structure. The abutment surface of the support structure and the first and second compaction surfaces of the first and second compaction arms delimit a pressing chamber, in which a mass of material to be compacted is intended to be deposited. In addition, the second compaction lid comprises a first arm and a second arm which are rotatably constrained to each other.

A fully automatic small arms demilitarization system includes individual infeed conveyance systems loaded at a single process initiation location; multiple hydraulic press stations fed by the individual infeed conveyance systems; and the multiple hydraulic press stations configured to crush one section of each weapon per cycle, incrementally crushing an entire length of each weapon, completely distorting each weapon to preclude restoration to a useable condition. The system further including an output system configured to output demilitarized weapons onto a common outfeed conveyance system that delivers the demilitarized weapons to a single recycle bin.

A method of forming a compact includes removing material from a workpiece, transferring metallic dust released during the material removal into a conduit, operating a plurality of slide gates to selectively control movement of the dust from the conduit to either one of a primary collector and a back-up collector, drawing the dust through the conduit to a compactor, and compacting the dust in the compactor.

A portable roller compactor for compacting waste located in a container, which is open on the top, has a frame-like basic structure and an articulated arm, one end of which is supported by the basic structure, and the other, free end of which supports a roller compactor that essentially can be rotated about a horizontal axis of rotation. The articulated arm of the roller compactor is pivotably attached to a sliding carriage, which is mounted on the frame-like base structure and can be moved in a longitudinal direction.

Container compressing arrangement, mountable in a reverse vending machine, for compacting empty containers, in particular beverage bottles or cans which are preferably made of plastic or metallic material, such as PET or tinned metal, the container compressing arrangement including: a first and a second rotatable roller, each of the rollers having a working surface arranged between two oppositely arranged ends, wherein the rollers are arranged adjacent to each other to rotate in opposite directions around a respective rotation axis in a common geometrical xz-plane; and wherein the working surface includes a plurality of ridges extending across the working surface, in an axial direction of the roller, and distributed in the circumferential direction of the working surface, each ridge having a longitudinal extension in the axial direction.

A device for compression of emptied containers, the device for compression of emptied containers including a container compressing arrangement provided with a first and a second roller, each roller having annular segments provided with specially shaped protruding elements. The device is for compression of plastic bottles as well as metal cans.

A can compression equipment is provided and belong to the field of recycling of renewable resources and environmental protection. The can compression equipment includes: a frame; a pressing block arranged at an end of an interior of the frame, an accommodating space being defined between the pressing block and a bottom of the frame and configured for accommodating the can to-be-compressed; and, a driving device connected to the pressing block and configured for driving the pressing block to move forward or backward along a lengthwise direction of the frame to change a size of the accommodating space. Instead of using manpower to compress the can, the can compression equipment can save time and manpower, and further effectively reduce a volume of the can as small as possible.
