ABSTRACT:
A foliage compactor includes an impeller assembly supported on a frame and including an enclosure having an inlet and an outlet, and an impeller supported for rotation within the enclosure to produce suction at the inlet and positive pressure at the outlet. An elongated hose is connected to the inlet so that foliage is drawn into the impeller assembly through the hose. A cyclone separator is supported on the frame beside the impeller assembly, and presents an upper inlet connected to the outlet of the impeller assembly so that air and foliage under positive pressure are introduced into the cyclone separator by the impeller assembly. The cyclone separator includes an outlet disposed lower than the inlet, and an exhaust vent located higher than the outlet for exhausting air from the housing. A thresher assembly is supported on the frame at the outlet of the cyclone separator and includes a plurality of fixed and movable hammers that cooperate to compact foliage falling through the cyclone separator into the thresher.
