  • This has the effect that a container G thrown into the compacting unit 3 is conveyed through the compacting unit 3 into an upsetting space R between the propulsion devices 4 of the compacting unit 3 and the propulsion devices 6 of the postcompaction unit 5 and there, due to the reduced conveying speed V2 of the propulsion devices 6 of FIG Nachkompaktiermaschine 5, is compressed because the container G is discharged only at a reduced speed.

  • Figs. 7A and 7B how out Figs. 7A and 7B can be seen, the propulsion devices 6 of Nachkompaktiermaschine 5 in the circumferential direction about the insertion direction E equidistantly spaced from each other. How farther Figs. 10A and 10B It can also be seen that the propulsion devices 4 of the compacting unit 3 are equally spaced from one another in the circumferential direction, the propulsion devices 4 of the compacting unit 3 and the propulsion devices 6 of the postcompaction unit 5 being arranged offset from each other.
  • the propulsion devices 6 of Nachkompaktiermaschine 5 at an angle ⁇ to each other, while the propulsion devices 4 of the Kompaktierech 3 at an angle ⁇ to each other are arranged.
  • the propulsion devices 6 of the post-compacting unit 3 are arranged on a gap along the bisecting line between the propulsion devices 4 of the compacting unit 3.
  • the volume of the compression space R between the propulsion devices 4 of the compacting unit 3 and the propulsion devices 6 of the post-compacting unit 5 in an initial state can be comparatively small because the chains of the propulsion devices 4 the compacting unit 3 and the propulsion device 6 of the Nachkompaktiermaschine 5 can move independently, without obstructing each other.
  • each piercing tools 401, 601 arranged in the form of thorns, which serve to engage with a thrown into the compacting unit 3 container G and to perforate the container G at least partially.
  • the puncture tools 401 serve to transfer their propulsion on the one hand in a suitable manner to the container G and on the other hand perforate the container G so that air from the inner container G can escape and the container G can be effectively compacted.
  • a piercing tool 401 is arranged in the form of a mandrel on each chain link 400 of each chain of a propulsion device 4, 6.
  • the chain drives 40 of the propulsion devices 4 of the compacting unit 3 only carry a piercing tool 401 on every second chain link 400, for example on each outer link, while the chain drives 60 of the propulsion devices 6 of the postcompaction unit 5 on each chain link 600 a piercing tool 601 in the form of a mandrel.
  • the density of the piercing tools 401, 601 is thus greater at the propulsion devices 6 of the post-compacting unit 5 than at the Propulsion devices 400 of the compacting 3.
  • the compacting unit 3 and the post-compacting unit 5 are arranged along the insertion direction E vertically along a stroke direction H (see FIG Fig. 13A and 13B ) adjustable to each other.
  • the compacting unit 3 can be kept stationary, while the Nachkompaktierü 5 along the stroke direction H to the Kompaktierü 3 is changeable in their position.
  • the compacting unit 3 can also be adjustable instead of the post-compacting unit 5 or in addition to the post-compacting unit 5.
  • the housing 32 of the compacting unit 3 is longitudinally engaging in guide bushes 37 guide pin 54 (see Fig. 6A and 16 ) guided on the housing 50 of the Nachkompaktiermaschine 5, so that the Kompaktieriser 3 and the Nachkompaktierü 5 in a defined manner in their position are mutually variable.
  • a container G is conveyed through the compacting unit 3 and moved into the compression space R between the compacting unit 3 and the post-compacting unit 5. Because the propulsion devices 6 of Nachkompaktiertechnik 5 with reduced speed V2 against the Propulsion devices 4 of the compacting 3 run, this leads to a compression of the container G in the compression space R, which causes the container G is successively pressed into the compression space R.
  • the post-compacting unit 5 If the volume of the container G pressed into the compression space R is greater than the capacity of the compression space R in the starting position of the post-compacting unit 5, the post-compacting unit 5 is displaced relative to the compacting unit 3 in the lifting direction H against the spring-biasing force of the pretensioning device 8 and thus out of its position Initial situation deflected.
  • This allows the container G - regardless of its wall thickness - can be completely conveyed into the compression space R and thereby compacted due to the conveying effect of the propulsion devices 4 and the compression effect in the compression space R in an effective manner.
  • the compacted container G is then conveyed out of the compression space R by means of the propulsion devices 6 of the post-compacting unit 5 in a delayed manner and as a compacted container G "(see Fig. 1 ) ejected from the compacting device 1.
  • Containers G " which are ejected from the post-compacting unit 5, have a sphere-like shape, which has the advantage that in this way compacted containers G" have a good bulk and layer behavior.
  • the outer surface of the container G " is approximately smooth, so that the risk of entanglement with other containers G" - which would affect the bulk behavior - is low.
  • the controller 7 may also effect an intelligent control.
  • control device 7 can cause that when a container G is jammed in the compacting unit 3, the propulsion devices 4 of the compacting unit 3 are automatically driven in the reverse direction, so that a container G is ejected from the compacting unit 3 again. If, on the other hand, it is determined that a container G has passed the compacting unit 3 and has been pressed into the stuffer box R, but an excessive deflection of the recompacting unit 5 occurs (for example beyond a predetermined threshold value), then the conveying speed V2 of the post-compacting unit 5 can the conveying speed V1 of the compacting unit 3 are equalized, so that the container G is easily conveyed out of the Nachkompaktiermaschine 5 and in particular without further compression.
  • control device 7 only activates the post-compacting unit 5 to drive the propulsion devices 6 of the post-compacting unit 5 when deflection of the post-compacting unit 5 occurs due to compression of a bundle G in the compression space R.
  • the compacting unit 3 thus promotes a container G in the compression space R at initially stationary propulsion devices 6 of Nachkompaktierü 5 inside. Only after a deflection of Nachkompaktierü 5 in the stroke direction H, the propulsion devices 6 are set in motion and thus the compacted container G out of the compression space.
  • the chain drives 40 of the propulsion devices 4 of the compacting unit 3 and also the chain drives 60 of the propulsion devices 6 of the postcompaction unit 5 are spanned between sprockets 412 or, in the case of the propulsion devices 6 of the postcompaction unit 5, on a guide element 62 guided.
  • a means for length compensation for adjusting the chain tension can be provided on each chain drive 40, 60.
  • a guide element 46 may be provided, which has two mutually preloaded by a biasing device 463 biased portions 461, 462, which cause a tension of the chain drive 40 and at a possible elongation of a chain drive 40, an automatic Achieve tensioning.
  • the chain drive 40 thus always has a sufficiently large voltage.
  • the guide element 62 has two sections 621, 622 which are prestressed against each other via a pretensioner 623 and thus cause an automatic retightening of the chain drive 60 during a possible chain elongation during operation.
  • the biasing means 463, 623 may be designed so that only a distance of the respective sections 461, 462, 621, 622 from each other is possible, but not a return of the distances 461, 462, 621, 622 to each other.
  • the sections 461, 462 and 621, 622 can thus only be removed from one another, but after a successful re-tensioning of the chain drive 40, 60 they can not be brought back together.
  • Such length compensation devices are well known, for example as rope length compensation devices in cable window lifts in motor vehicles.
  • the propulsion devices are not necessarily designed as chain drives. It is also conceivable to use for the propulsion devices of the compacting unit and the post-compacting unit, for example, propulsion devices using straps, belts, ropes or belts or other tension members for transmitting tensile forces.
  • the compacting unit and the post-compacting unit may in principle also have a different number of propulsion devices.
  • the number of propulsion devices of the compacting unit and the number of propulsion devices of the post-compacting unit are not necessarily identical.
