An apparatus for compacting waste objects includes a seat provided with a support assembly for supporting the waste object to be compacted; a push member being moveable inside the seat for compacting in use of the apparatus the waste object against an end wall of the seat; the support assembly including two support members that rotate away from each other for discharging the compacted object through an aperture. The support members can impede discharge of a compacted object of a specific type through the aperture to collect the compacted object of the specific type in a dedicated container. Protuberances can be applied to the push member and an end wall of the seat for producing depressions in the compacted object so that the compacted object does not lose the compacted condition once pressure applied by the push member is removed.

Apparatus for compacting waste objects

A production line () for manufacturing wound core components (') of a dynamo electric machine, comprising a central processing zone () provided with at least a winder (&#x2032;) for winding coils () to produce wound core components, a downstream processing zone () for finishing the wound core components. The production line further comprises a first load and unload device () for transferring the core components to be wound to at least a winder (&#x2032;) from a waiting position (), or from an upstream transport carrier (), located at a first position (G), for transferring core components to be wound from an upstream processing zone (). The first load and unload device () transferring wound core components from the at least a winder (&#x2032;) to a downstream transport carrier (), located at a second position (A), for transferring wound core components to the downstream processing zone ().

An apparatus and a method for treating organic waste, like the waste that is eliminated in kitchens, foresee containing the waste () to be treated, grinding the waste, compacting the ground waste and exerting a squeezing action to remove residual liquids. A screw device () is foreseen which rotates inside a casing () around a longitudinal axis to convey and compact the ground waste against a closure () which moves during compacting. A solution for cleaning the apparatus is also foreseen to remove remaining any waste, when the apparatus needs to stay empty for longer periods of inactivity.

Apparatuses and methods for compacting waste

Apparatus for grinding waste material, such as kitchen waste, includes a section for loading the waste material, a section for grinding the waste material, a collector for the ground waste, and a dispenser of controlled quantities of sanitizing or cleaning powder directly onto the waste material before or after grinding, or onto internal surfaces of the apparatus, to avoid formation of hazardous substances or unpleasant odors. The powder can be dispensed directly or by a flow of air, which could be generated for example by a rotor or piston mechanism. The flow of air could fluidize the powder for dispensing. The apparatus can be sized for location under a sink.

Apparatus and method for grinding kitchen waste

The apparatus for treating waste (, W), in particular organic waste, comprises from the above to below: a loading section (), a grinding section () and a section () for storing the waste. A possible succession of steps of a functioning cycle of the apparatus starts with opening a loading container (), for example by using a handle (), and loading the waste (, W) that requires treatment inside the apparatus. The container comprises a box-like body () and a base (), which can move with respect to the body for bringing the container from a waste supporting configuration to a waste releasing configuration in the grinding section.
