Abstract: The attempt to press and packing garden leftover parts into tiny-bales is one of the proposed efforts to reduce the volume of leftover and ameliorate its handling. For these reason a new prototype was constructed, and tested, at Lab of Ismail (2008) that establish on agric. engineering department of Mansoura University. The compacting prototype is involves; an auger-barrel with compressing-auger. While the packaging unit including a forming cylinder with controlling gate. The variable parameters contains average auger rotational speed “ARS” of 34; 44; 54 and 64 rpm, and garden leftover moisture contents “RMC” in range of 14; 16 and 64%. The evolutions of investigated prototype are conducted to measure and; bulk density ”kg m-3” at four different times after packing, actual flow out rate ” m3 h-1”, machine productivity "kg h-1", operating power consumed "W" and operating specific energy “kW h kg-1”. The results showed that the highest tiny-bale density was obtained at a moisture level of 64% and an auger rotation speed of 64 rpm, while the highest productivity of the prototype recorded at a rotation speed of 64 rpm and lowest moisture content of the garden leftover of 14%.
