In further detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 11, the construction details of the invention as shown in Fig. 11 are "as shown" and "may be" constructed of steel, or more preferably of steel harder than either the set of springs 299 or the set of springs 305.
The advantages of the present invention shown in Fig. 11 include, without limitation, the efficiency gained via compacting a set of springs both in the forward stroke and compacting a set of springs in the reverse or backward stroke.
In broad embodiment, the invention in Fig. 11 may comprise any number of compaction chambers and may be of any size or shape and may be operated in a vertical or horizontal plane or any angle in between.
Referring now to the invention in more detail, in Fig. 12 there is shown one vertical chamber revolving embodiment of the current invention comprising: in plan view Fig. 12A, a powered center pivot with arms 323, a pair of concentric guides 324, a chamber loading position 322, a chamber compaction position 320, a chamber unloading position 310, a chamber cleaning position 311, and in side view Fig. 12B, a hydraulic pump 321, a movable cylinder 314, a powered ram 332, a movable cylinder 316, a powered ram 330, a movable cylinder 315, a connector 317, a chamber movable floor 313, a stationary floor 312 with a opening 229 under the chamber unloading position 310, a set of springs 328, a four sided compaction chamber 326, a four sided compaction chamber 328, a four sided compaction chamber 334, and a four sided compaction chamber 309.
In more detail, still referring to the invention of Fig. 12, in operation; the set of springs 328 is loaded into the four sided compaction chamber 326 at the chamber loading position 322. Then the
powered center pivot with arms 323 rotates the four sided compaction chamber 326 to the chamber compaction position 320. Then the hydraulic pump 321 activates the movable cylinder 316 pushing the powered ram 330 downwards into the four sided compaction chamber 326 compacting the set of springs 328 between the chamber movable floor 313 and the powered ram 330. Then the hydraulic pump 321 activates the movable cylinder 316 pulling the powered ram 330 upwards out of the four sided compaction chamber 326. Then the powered center pivot with arms 323 rotates the four sided compaction chamber 326 to the chamber unloading position 310. Then the hydraulic pump 321 activates the movable cylinder 315 pushing the connector 317 forward to where it attaches to the chamber movable floor 313. Then the hydraulic pump 321 activates the movable cylinder 315 pulling the chamber movable floor 313 towards the movable cylinder 315 opening the bottom of the four sided compaction chamber 326 such that the now compacted set of springs 328 may via gravity fall out the bottom of the four sided compaction chamber 326 and through the opening 229. Should gravity fail to unload the now compacted set of springs 328 out the bottom of the four sided compaction chamber 326, then the hydraulic pump 321 activates the movable cylinder 314 pushing the powered ram 332 downwards into the four sided compaction chamber 326
pushing the now compacted set of springs 328 out the bottom of the four sided compaction chamber 326 and through the opening 229. Then the hydraulic pump 321 activates the movable cylinder 314 pulling the powered ram 332 upwards out of the four sided compaction chamber 326.
Then the hydraulic pump 321 activates the movable cylinder 315 pushing the chamber movable floor 313 back into the four sided compaction chamber 326 closing the bottom of the four sided
