The present invention provides: a method of drying metallic waste having pyrophoric tendencies (liable to catch fire and/or explode), said waste being for compacting; an apparatus for drying said waste, the apparatus including a compacting canister and being suitable for implementing said drying method; and a canister for compacting said waste, the canister being particularly adapted to implementing said drying method.

Method of drying metallic waste of pyrophoric tendencies that is to be compacted; apparatus and compacting canister associated with said method

The present invention relates to a compacting process suitable particularly for the compacting of materials with a pyrophoric tendency and especially for the compacting of scrap metal generated in the nuclear industry: and compacting means (4), and a compacting device including said means (4), appropriate for the implementation of said process. In said process the blanketed materials are compacted with optimized complementary external blanketing. The inert gas used for said external blanketing is characteristically conveyed via the compacting means (4) and blown in through their lower end (15).
