Bagging assembly

摘要

A bagging assembly for bagging bales of fibrous material is disclosed. The bagging assembly incorporates a chute defining a channel for receiving a bale, which is pushed there between by a stuffing assembly. Aspects of the bagging assembly include raising a bale using a bale elevator to a higher elevation position so that the bale could be stuffed by the stuffing assembly and using a bag retrieving mechanism for retrieving a bag from a bag location for use in bagging the bale.

主权项

1. A method for bagging a pressed bale with a bagging assembly comprising:
lifting a bag having an open end from a first lower elevation position to a second higher elevation position with a bag retrieval system; inserting an arm into the open end of the bag after lifting the bag and expanding the open end; said open end sized to receive a pressed bale; moving the bag and a chute relative to one another after inserting the arm into the open end to position the bag over the chute; moving the chute laterally between a position closer to a first side of a framed assembly and a position closer to a second side of the framed assembly and into the open end of the bag; and wherein the arm and the chute are spaced apart from one another.
