Arrangement of Components
The main cylinder (long stroke cylinder) has a rectangular stainless steel pressure pad mounted on the end of the piston
rod. When the main cylinder is fully retracted, the pressure pad is just within the feed end of the stainless steel
compacting chamber. As the main cylinder extends, the pressure pad moves the entire length of the compacting
chamber. At full extension, the pressure pad protrudes slightly beyond the discharge end of the compacting chamber.
Attached to the top edge of the pressure pad is a flat stainless steel pressure pad follower.
The opposing cylinder (short stroke cylinder) is mounted horizontally at the discharge end of the compacting chamber. A
rectangular stainless steel resistance pad is mounted on the end of the piston rod. When the opposing cylinder is fully
extended, the resistance pad will nearly touch the discharge end of the compacting chamber. This effectively closes off
the discharge end of the compacting chamber. Attached to the resistance pad (located above and forward of it), is the
flat stainless steel ice cut-off slide. As the opposing cylinder extends, the ice cut-off slide moves to close off the ice
hopper.
