A compacting apparatus (1) for compacting receptacles has a compacting unit (3) with at least one first advancing device (4) for transporting at least one receptacle (G) in an insertion direction (E). The compacting unit (3) is configured to compact the receptacle (G) while the receptacle (G) is transported in the insertion direction (E). A post-compacting unit (5) is downstream of the compacting unit (3) in the insertion direction (E) and has at least one second advancing device (6) for transporting the at least one receptacle (G) through the post-compacting unit (5). The post-compacting unit (5) is configured to compact the at least one receptacle (G) further. Positions of the at least one first advancing device (4) of the compacting unit (3) and the at least one second advancing device (6) of the post-compacting unit (5) are changeable with respect to one another in the insertion direction (E).

The present invention relates to a press brake and a method for operating a press brake. The press brake according to the present invention includes a press brake frame; a lever that is moveably attached to the frame and that is moveable between a press position and a release position; a motor that is operatively attached to the frame and the lever, which the motor is configured to move the lever between the press position and the release position; and a pressing element including a top pressing part and a bottom pressing part. The bottom pressing part is operatively connected to the frame. The top pressing part is operatively connected to the lever. The top pressing part and the bottom pressing part are configured to mate when the lever is in the press position.

The present invention relates to a novel device to manufacture polyurethane foam boards used in structurally insulated panel known as insulated building material press. The press enables the application of pressure across a large area while foaming and curing polyurethane under pressure, curing glue or otherwise bonding materials into a finished product or to form multiple panels in a single press at the same time. The building material press can be used to manufacture multiple structurally insulated panels simultaneously. The press is mobile and can be transported by means of a vehicle to a remote location.
