3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100:2010 and the
following apply.
3.1
compactor
machine, consisting of a compaction unit and container that compacts loose materials into a container
(materials can include, but are not limited to, paper, plastics, textiles, cans, cardboard and mixed waste)
Note 1 to entry: A compactor can consist of e. g. a control system and control station, mechanical feed
equipment such as a bin lift, feed hopper, compaction chamber, compacting equipment, container and any
associated container closing device. Compactors can be manually or mechanically fed.
Note 2 to entry: Compactors can be:
— static, i. e. the compaction unit is fixed at one location and the container is transportable;
— transportable and used at different locations, i. e. it is transported to and from different locations by
e.g. road vehicles;
— part of a traversing system.
3.1.1
static compactor
compactor on which the compaction unit is fixed and the container is not integral with the compactor

3.2
container
the material-receiving container into which the loose material is compacted by the compaction unit
Note 1 to entry: On a transportable compactor the container is an integral part of the compactor.
Note 2 to entry: On a static compactor the container is not an integral part of the compactor, however the
interface between the compaction unit and the container is covered in this standard, see Scope.
3.3
coupling device
mechanism for clamping the container to the main body of the compaction unit and holding it in
position
3.4

— either several containers that are placed on a carrier system that traverses (e.g. on rails) in front of
a static compactor;
— or several containers that are placed in front of a traversing compactor (e.g. on rails)
Note 1 to entry: Where the containers traverse only the compactor, the carrier system and the interface
between the compactor and containers are covered by this standard
3.5
integral pre-conditioning equipment
equipment that is mounted/fixed to the compactor and is used to treat the material being fed into the
compactor to help compaction, e.g. perforators, rufflers, pre-crushers and shredders
Note 1 to entry: These devices can be fixed, or inserted into and retracted from, the feed hopper.

integral material flow control equipment
equipment that is mounted/fixed to the compactor and helps material in the feed opening flow into the
compaction chamber and/or prevent blockages or bridging, e.g. forced feeding device for screw
compactors
3.7
feed equipment
equipment used for feeding materials to be compacted into the compaction chamber
3.8
integral feed equipment
mechanical feed equipment i.e. conveyor or bin lift that is:
— mounted/fixed to the compactor;
— the power supply and control system of which are linked into the compactors systems
3.9
bin lift
mechanical feed equipment for lifting a bin containing materials and tipping the contents into the
compaction chamber of the compactor
3.10
bin
container, usually fitted with wheels, in which material are collected ready for feeding into the
compaction chamber of the compactor
3.11
feed hopper
chute through which materials being fed to the compactor are guided into the compaction chamber
3.12
feed opening
opening through which materials are fed into the compaction chamber
3.13
manual feeding
loading materials directly into the feed hopper/opening by hand

3.14
mechanical feeding
loading materials into the feed hopper/opening by mechanical means, e.g. conveyors, bin lifts
3.15
compaction chamber
chamber into which material is fed and in which one or more compacting parts move to press and
compact the material into the receiving container
3.16
compacting part
device for the compacting process/movement; the device can be a plate, a screw or a pendulum
3.17
compacting equipment
all components directly involved in pressing the loose materials into the container and compacting
them inside the container (e.g. hydraulic system, compacting parts, compaction chamber)
3.18
compaction unit
the part of the compactor containing the compacting equipment
3.19
cycle of the compacting part
complete forward and reverse movement of the compacting part or a complete 360° rotation
3.20
multiple cycle
operating mode in which the machine cycles during a pre-set time, then stops automatically
3.21
automatic initiation of cycles
