Norba Ejection-Discharge The new, modern Norba ejection body     By 1968, the first ejection-discharge Norbas were introduced, with a modern, reinforced body and hydraulically-lifted tailgate. Through this added considerable weight (compared to the tipper versions), it also provided a margin of safety which was increasingly desired by operators using landfills for disposal. Air volumes of 11-18 cubic meters were available, with a horizontal telescopic ram powering the ejection plate. Mechanical drive of the auger had given way to full-hydraulic, with relief valves to protect against jams in place of shear pins. In 1969, parent company Swedish Match/Arenco division sold Norba to Mulilift of Finland, though the company continued as as autonomous division, still based in Sweden.     The Norba system become highly popular in England, were it proved to be capable and reliable. Paper sacks were devoured with ease, and the shredding action of the screw aided in overall compaction. Shelvoke & Drewry introduced their Revopak around this time, possibly to compete with the Norbas unique shredding ability. It even inspired a direct imitation, the Glover Webb & Liversidge Musketeer, which was built in single and twin-screw versions. Gradually, Norba increased the size of the hopper canopy, proportional to the new body, and the UK division began to identify the product as the Constrictor. This use of animal names would be repeated on other British models during the 1970s, while the European Norba was typically identified by a model number.
