Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus of the vibrocompactor type for compacting carbonaceous blocks, and which comprises a vibrating table on which a carbonaceous paste is to be disposed, a heavy mass located below the table, and damper means located between the table and the mass for suspending the table above the mass. According to the invention, the damper means comprises inflatable pneumatic cushions. These cushions may be connected in parallel permanently to a source of fluid under a controllable pressure, or alternatively may be connected in parallel during the inflation of the cushions, and then isolated individually or in groups from the source of fluid. The apparatus may also include a means for measuring the pressure in each cushion or in a group of cushions, and a means for signalling the drop in pressure in each cushion or group.
