"METAL SCRAP COMPACTING PRESS" A press for compacting scrap metal for subsequent melting, e.g. in an electric furnace, the press comprising supporting bed, a chamber formed in the bed and open at the top for the introduction of scraps thereinto, a closing cover for the chamber lackable in a closed portion by locking means. Movable and stationary walls define the sides of the chamber and are associated with the bed. Control and guide means for the shifting movement of the movable walls are adapted to bring the movable walls closen to each other until there is defined therebetween a cavity. The distances between the walls are smaller than and proximate the distance between the inner walls of the furnace whereinto the compacted scraps are to be melted. A ram with related control means defines with its active face the base of the cavity and is movable in the bed to and away from the cover in order to press, against the cover, the scraps already compacted in the cavity. |
