1. A bale forming apparatus comprising:
a bale forming device; a casing with a movable discharge gate and a further casing part; and a web providing device, wherein the movable discharge gate is movable with respect to the further casing part between a bale forming position, at least one bale wrapping position, and a bale ejecting position, wherein a or a respective gap between the further casing part and the discharge gate being in the or one bale wrapping position occurs, wherein an aperture between the further casing part and the discharge gate being in the bale ejecting position occurs, wherein the aperture is larger than the or every gap, wherein the bale forming device is arranged to form a bale in the interior of the casing while the discharge gate is in the bale forming position, wherein the web providing device is arranged to provide a web of wrapping material, wherein the bale forming apparatus is arranged to wrap a surface of the bale in the interior of the casing into the provided web while the discharge gate is in the or one bale wrapping position, and wherein the bale forming apparatus is arranged to eject the wrapped bale through the aperture out of the casing when the discharge gate is in the bale ejecting position, wherein the bale forming apparatus further comprises a web detecting sensor arranged to detect whether or not the provided web is present on the surface of the bale in the interior of the casing, and, wherein the web detecting sensor is arranged to sense at least one segment of the bale surface to be wrapped, wherein the or every sensed surface segment is visible through the gap, and to generate an alert if the non-presence of web on the or one sensed surface segment is detected. |
