Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method of making turf from bog-peat in which the bog-peat is compacted by first introducing it into a space (2) where it is compacted and thereafter pressed through a tapering tubular space (8) toward an outlet (9) therefrom and depositing it on a plateau (10) where it is cut into blocks of the required dimensions. The invention also comprises apparatus for carrying out the method and which is provided with a space (2) in which, with the aid of a pivotable flap (17), the bog-peat is separated and compacted, and thereafter pressed in a tubular space (8) and a transporting-compressing mechanism. The apparatus is preferably provided with a transport-belt (10), functioning as a receiving plateau with which cutting members (14) can co-operate.
