Description:
<jats:p>The paper analyses the compaction of cardboard waste in vertically stationary presses, the stages of making the bale of material and the forces resistant to the displacement of the cardboard pressing plate at each stage of compaction, the relationship between the piston stroke and the pressing forces, as well as the partial and total energy consumption of compaction. Some clarifications are made regarding the correlation between the piston stroke and the compaction time, respectively the forces resistant to compaction. A link shall also be established between the volume of pressed material and its mass, so that the final density of the bale of material can be specified.</jats:p>
