Abstract
An apparatus for compacting a powder includes a feed section (), a compaction section (), a discharge section (), and a conveyor belt () extending through the feed, compaction, and discharge sections to convey powder through those sections. The feed section receives an incoming powder onto the conveyor belt. The compaction section compresses the incoming powder on the conveyor belt between two plates () to provide a compacted powder. The top plate () may be pressed downward toward the bottom plate (), the bottom plate may be pressed upward toward the top plate, or both. The discharge section receives the compacted powder from the compaction section on the conveyor belt. End plates () and side plates () confine the incoming powder during compaction.
