Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A small, stationary refuse packer introduced by Powell Duffryn Engineering meets the requirements of stores, offices, etc. Known as the PD PowerMite, the packer comprises a power unit and a charging box linked to a special Dumpster container. Refuse is tipped into the 1 cu.yd. charging box through an 8 sq.ft. opening, a job which is easily done from ground level; or it can be fed by chute or conveyor. An optional hopper gives extra loading capacity and controlled feed of refuse into the packer, which has a height of 52in.

A heavy steel packer head, driven by a hydraulic cylinder exerting a pressure of over 42,000lb sweeps through the charging box, pushing all refuse into the Dumpster container (available in capacities of 8 cu.yd. to 12 cu.yd.), the baffling of which gives maximum compaction for large payloads. The complete packing cycle time is 45sec. As the container is filled, so compaction is built up by the packer head, giving compaction ratios of up to 6 to 1, depending on the density of the refuse.

A push-button control panel gives either single or multisweep control. The selfcontained power unit is mounted on skids for easy inspection.

When the container is full it is removed by a PD Dumpster, a tight-fitting canvas cover being fastened over the container opening to prevent spilling. The Dumpster carries the container to a refuse disposal site, where the driver operates a control in his cab to release the bottom of the container and the refuse is tipped.
