0 a machine that crushes material, especially waste material, so that it fits into a smaller space:
a trash compactor
1 a device that crushes garbage into a smaller and denser form
In our case, the manoeuvrability of the compactor being rather limited, we have chosen the first solution.
Our algorithms have been tested using experimental data obtained with a road compactor.
He will make a point of encouraging the greater use of compactors as part of that scheme.
I refer to the terrible crashing noise of the compactors as they work over the landfill mass and the dreadful bleeping noise that they make as they reverse.
Vibrating compactors are used for soil compaction especially in foundations for roads, railways, and buildings.
There were larger and heavier compaction equipment, like large vibratory compactors and heavier steam rollers.
Such compactors typically have padfoot or sheep's-foot drums, and do not achieve a smooth surface.
With no choice but to obey her commands, he climbs into the waste compactor and starts it up.
