ABSTRACT:
A compacting system including a double action vertical ram pivotally mounted within a container. The container includes a front wall, a rear wall, a pair of side walls, a floor and a lid. An opening in the front wall allows refuse or other material to be deposited into the container. A hingedly mounted door covers the opening. The ram includes a pivotally mounted compression plate and a cylinder mounted to one of the side walls with one end thereof mounted above said plate. A shaft extends from a housing of the cylinder and is attached within the container to the plate. In a compaction cycle, the compression plate can travel from a "vertical" position to a substantially "horizontal" position, and compacts the refuse between a lower surface of the compression plate and the floor. A power unit located outside the container provides power to actuate the cylinder. A magnetic safety switch and a door interlock device provide safety features for the compacting system.
