A preparing process for pressing particulate aggregates into a slab and a shaping apparatus are described. The preparing process includes: mixing particulate aggregates of different sizes and a liquid material as per a preset proportion to obtain a mixture; spreading the mixture flatly in a preset thickness onto a conveyor belt or into a mould frame; vacuumizing the mixture; shaping, wherein a pressing plate is disposed covering the mixture during the shaping procedure to constantly apply a downward pressure against the mixture; a ram disposed over the pressing plate continuously smashes the pressing plate, wherein during ram smashing, the pressure created by the pressing plate forms a continuous holding force to the mixture, the smashing force created from up-down motion of the ram is transferred to the mixture via the pressing plate.

In a device for producing concrete slabs, a mold lower part is inserted into a frame secured via retaining braces to receiving areas of guiding columns oriented along an insertion direction and having, above the mold lower part, a structural loading device movable along the guiding columns and having, on the side facing the mold lower part, a mold upper part with one or more pressure plates inserted or insertable into one or more recesses of the mold lower part, the structural loading device being connected to the pressure plates via pressure rams. An upper guide element arranged between the structural loading device and the pressure rams interacts with a lower guide element arranged on the retaining brace such that, during the production of concrete slabs, the structural loading device is constantly guided relative to the mold lower part on a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction.

A compacting tool includes an upper mass, a lower mass coupled to the upper mass, a driving axis extending centrally through the upper mass and the lower mass, a motive source supported by the upper mass, the motive source including an output shaft, a battery configured to provide power to the motive source, a handle coupled to the upper mass, a user interface supported by the handle and configured to receive an input to control the motive source, and a drive mechanism configured to convert rotational movement of the output shaft to reciprocating movement of the lower mass. The drive mechanism includes a multi-stage transmission operatively coupled between the output shaft of the motive source and the lower mass.

The present disclosure generally relates to powder packing for additive manufacturing (AM) methods and systems. Conventional powder packing methods are manual and non-standardized, and they result in operator fatigue and potentially product inconsistencies. Powder packing according to the present disclosure improves standardization and reduces turnaround time, with the potential to lower the cost of AM.

A method for producing a coal cake that is suitable for coking and for subsequent charging of a coking oven chamber. At least one vibrating station including a push-table vibrating machine with an oscillatorily mounted vibrating table is provided. A mold box is clamped to the vibrating table. The mold box is filled with granular raw coal material. A weight is placed on top of the mold box. The mold box is vertically oscillated while the weight presses from above into the mold box so as to mold a vibration-compacted coal block. The vibration-compacted coal block is pushed off the vibrating table, using an ejector, onto an underlying support. The vibration-compacted coal block is pushed on the underlying support by a length (x) of the vibration-compacted coal block successive to another vibration-compacted coal block. The vibration-compacted coal blocks are successively stacked so as to form the coal cake. The coal cake is introduced into the coking oven chamber using a transporting device.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a soft magnetic composite using ultrasonic vibration and a soft magnetic composite manufactured using the ultrasonic vibration. More specifically, the present invention relates to the apparatus for manufacturing a soft magnetic composite using ultrasonic vibration including: a die that has a putting-in space as an open space in which a powder material is put; a punch set that is inserted into the putting-in space and presses the powder material; an ultrasonic vibration applying unit including ultrasonic vibrators which are arranged along a circumference of an outer die surface of the die and are provided to come into contact with the die; a main body that is positioned below the die and is formed to slide around the die toward an outer circumference; and a control unit that controls a frequency of the ultrasonic vibrators depending on a degree of pressure of the punch set, a method for manufacturing a soft magnetic composite using ultrasonic vibration, and a soft magnetic composite manufactured using the same.

Disclosed is a vibration device with a vibrating table for a concrete block manufacturing machine for compression of a material to be compressed. The vibration device is at least partially resiliently mounted on a machine frame and driven by at least one electric motor. As a result the vibrating table can be set in a predominantly vertical vibrating movement, wherein the vibration device has a plurality of vibrating table bars arranged parallel to one another and fastened to the vibrating table and impact bars fastened statically to the machine frame. All the impact bars are displaceable relative to the vibrating table bars and along a displacement axis running parallel to the vertical vibrating movement by a plurality of positioning devices connected to one another and driven by at least one common drive unit in order to obtain a synchronous displacement of all the impact bars.
