Abstract (en)
A waste compactor 10 has a housing defining a waste compaction region 17 in which waste is compacted, and a compacted waste receiving space 18 below compaction region 17. Two opposed substantially parallel power-driven press plates 24,25 are disposed within the compaction region 17 for movement towards and away from each other along a common axis. A trapdoor 30 separates the compaction region 17 from the receiving space 18, the trapdoor being moveable between a closed position for waste compaction and an open position for depositing compacted waste in the receiving space 30. A trapdoor operating mechanism allows the trapdoor 30 to pivot to the open position when the press plates 24,25 have been moved closer than a pre-determined spacing and also moves the trapdoor to the closed position when the press plates 24,25 have been moved apart after compacting waste.
