A piston compactor adapted for compacting e.g. waste material and comprising a compactor tube (1) with a compactor piston (4) and a drive mechanism (5) arranged at one end and being adapted for repetitively moving the piston between a retracted and an extended position in the compactor tube, and where the piston compactor comprises a feeding pipe (9) with pipe walls (10) and an outlet end (11) being connected to a feed opening (12) arranged in the tube wall between the retracted and the extended position. The piston compactor further comprises a first suction conduit (13) having a first end (14) that is connected to the feeding pipe via a first suction opening (15) arranged near the feed opening and a second end (17) that is connected to a suction source (16), and that a suction control (18) is adapted for applying suction to the feeding pipe via the first end of the first suction conduit at least when the compactor piston is in its extended position and to shut off the suction at the first end of the first suction conduit at least when the compactor piston is in its retracted position.
A piston compactor adapted for compacting waste material and comprising a compactor tube with a tube wall extending along a longitudinal axis and where a compactor piston and a drive mechanism is arranged at one end of the compactor tube and being adapted for repetitively moving the piston along the longitudinal axis between a retracted and an extended position in the compactor tube, and where the piston compactor comprises a feeding pipe with pipe walls and an outlet end being connected to a feed opening arranged in the tube wall between the retracted and the extended position, wherein the piston compactor further comprises a first suction conduit having a first end that is connected to the feeding pipe via a first suction opening arranged near the feed opening and a second end that is connected to a suction source, and a suction control that is adapted for applying suction to the feeding pipe via the first end of the first suction conduit at least when the compactor piston is in its extended position and to shut off the suction at the first end of the first suction conduit at least when the compactor piston is in its retracted position.
