Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0238365A1] The invention relates to a method and device for the compression of granular materials. On compressing granular material to give prepared products e.g. concrete paving slabs, a resonance vibrator with an oscillating mass-spring system is applied, which may be energised by a controllable energiser to produce forced oscillation of a given frequency and oscillatory amplitude. The resonant effect, making use of the proximity of the inherent resonance frequency and the exciter frequency permits a reduction in the size of the exciter force. According to the invention, along with an adjustment of the exciter frequency the resonant frequency is also simultaneously co-adjusted by means of a suitable adjuster, in order to be able to make use of the resonance effect throughout the whole spectrum of the exciter frequencies to be carried out.
