Abstract
Wilted grass has to be compressed during the ensiling in bunker silos. An increasing number of farmers are using compactors with vibrating roller drums to achieve a higher compression effect. On the basis of a servo-hydraulic material testing system quasi static and vibrating compression cycles were carried out and compared with each other. The oscillating movement of the roller drums cannot result in a higher compression performance which is observed in praxis. The observed increased compression performance is a result of the centrifugal force of the vibrating roller drums which can be several times higher than the weight of the vehicle.
