The invention relates to a device (1) for producing compressed balls (5) from compressible pressed product pieces (50), each compressed ball (5) produced having a cuboid form with edge lengths A, B and C. The device (1) comprises a press housing (10) having at least one press chamber (15) and a press shield (17) that can be moved in the press chamber in the press direction (71) and back by means of a mechanical drive (18, 18'). The press chamber (15) has a cross-sectional surface of A x C/n. In the press chamber (15), n partial compressed balls (5.1 - 5.n) can be produced in n first press steps, with a flat cuboid form with the edge lengths A, B and C/n. A storage space (20) is arranged downstream from the press chamber (15), n partial compressed balls (5.1 - 5.n) being transferable into said storage space. The partial compressed balls (5.1 - 5.n) can be joined in the storage space (20) to form the cuboid compressed balls (5) with the edge lengths A, B and C. The press chamber (15) is separated from the storage space (20) by a mobile partition (12), and an opening (12') that can be freed by the partition (12) has at least the dimension A x B in the opening position, such that a partial compressed ball (5.1 - 5.n) formed in the press chamber (15) can be transported into the storage space (20) through said opening (12'). |
