Definitions
- the invention relates to a compacting device for compacting empty containers, in particular beverage bottles or cans made of plastic or sheet metal, such as tinplate or aluminum sheet.
- a compacting device which comprises two counter-drivable rollers, which are arranged in parallel at a distance from each other and designed such that empty containers are cut and compressed between them.
- each roller has a plurality of disks mounted successively along a roll axis.
- One part of the disks is designed as a pressure disk, the other part of the disks as a cutting disk.
- the rollers are arranged such that discs of one roller engage in the spaces between the discs of the other roller.
- Cutting discs compressed and cut This allows in particular the compacting of empty, closed containers without having to perforate them before.
- a generic compacting device has at least one roller for compressing and perforating empty containers, wherein protrude from the main body of the roller pin elements radially.
- the pin elements are hammered into receptacles of the roll base body and fastened therein by means of a metal adhesive.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a generic compact paktiervoriques available, with a simple structure in a very effective way, a compaction of empty containers can be achieved.
- the compacting device according to the invention for compacting empty containers, in particular beverage bottles or cans made of plastic or tinplate, is characterized in that the at least one pin element is designed as a hollow pin, wherein at least the end face of the hollow pin facing away from the roller body is open.
- a pin element constructed in this way makes it possible to achieve not only a mere compression of a container in the same process, but also a perforation of the container.
- a plurality of pin elements are arranged on the roller base body for this purpose.
- a projecting pin element favors the collection of a container, for example, in which the pin element engages behind uneven areas of the container and in this way carries the container.
- the roller base body has a receptacle into which the at least one pin element is non-positively inserted. Due to the frictional insertion of the pin element into the roller base body, it is ensured on the one hand that the affected pin elements can be exchanged in the event of damage or wear of individual pin elements. An exchange of the roller body, in particular Disassembly of the roller body, as required in the prior art, can be omitted. On the other hand, the frictional connection between the pin elements and the roll base body also ensures that it withstands the forces acting on the compression and perforation of containers without becoming detached from the roll base body.
- the roller base body Due to the fact that the at least one pin element protrudes from the roller base body, the roller base body is loaded less. This is the case in particular when a plurality of pin elements is arranged uniformly on the roll base body. This makes it possible to use less strong materials for the formation of the Walzengrundgropers, for example, a low-cost plastic.
- the roll base body can be produced as a one-piece plastic injection-molded part.
