Abstract (en)

A conveyor screw (7) conveys objects (2) to be compacted towards an outlet (5) of a tubular conduit (3), about which a sack (6) is fitted. The sack (6) is progressively unfolded from the conduit (3) by effect of the thrust of the objects (2) as they leave the outlet (5). A deformable truncoconical wall (8) is predisposed upstream of the outlet (5) to contrast an advancement of the objects (2), which are then forced against the wall (8) and forced to pass through a passage afforded at a centre of the wall (8). Before entering the sack (6) the objects (2) are crushed between the conveyor screw (7) and the wall (8). The machine is used for collecting and disposal of single-use bags made of a flexible material such as paper, sackcloth, jute or plastic, used for packing powder or granular materials. <IMAGE>
