In a cutter press having a frame (10) which carries a pickup (12) and a feed drum (13) cooperating with cutter knives (14) as well as a compressing chamber (17) equipped with a compressing plunger (21) and receiving cut material from the drum, the compressing chamber is pivotably journalled (18) at its rear end on the frame. The drum (13) presses material up into a stationary feed channel (15), and the compressing chamber (17) has an inlet opening (19) at the front end and an inlet channel (20), which is positioned opposite said opening and surrounds the feed channel (15) telescopically. When the chamber (K) in the compressing chamber between the piston and the already pressed material has been filled, the pressure of the material from the drum lifts the front end of the compressing chamber, assisted by a hydraulic cylinder (25), thereby increasing the volume of the prechamber (Q) formed by the feed channel and the inlet channel, so that the feed drum can continue to press material up into said prechamber, while the compressing plunger completes a stroke and closes the inlet opening (19). |
