Abstract
A module defining a plurality of cavities adapted to receive adsorbent material and movable from a loading station to a compaction station and to a transfer station, a plurality of rams at the compaction station for exerting pressure on the adsorbent material to compact it and rams at the transfer station to extract the compacted adsorbent material from said cavities.
Claims10
Apparatus for compacting an adsorbent material comprising:
- a module defining a plurality of cavities and sequentially movable from a loading station to a compaction station and to a transfer station;
- a plurality of rams disposed at said compaction station positioned to engage adsorbent material disposed in said cavities to compact the adsorbent material;
- and
- means at said transfer station or extracting compacted adsorbent material form said cavities.
