ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for making modules in which material is deposited in an open-bottom rectangular bin. A tamping mechanism is mounted at the open top of the bin for compressing the material into a module. At each end of the bin 15 is a door that is pivotal about a horizontal axis at the upper section of the bin. While the doors are closed, the material is compressed into a module. The doors are alternately opened for the removal of modules through alternate ends of the bin. At each side of the bin are hydraulic jacks for raising and lowering the bin. While the bin is lowered, the material is compressed into a module. When the bin is raised, a module is removed from the bin. Forming the floor or base of the bin is a movable transfer table that travels over a rectilinear path through the ends of the bin. When a module is formed at one end of the table within the bin, the other end of the table is outside of the bin for the removal of a module. When a module is formed at the other end of the table within the bin, the one end of the table is outside of the bin for the removal of a module. Each end of the table travels only through the alternately opened adjacent end of the bin.
