BALLENPRESSE

摘要

A combined baler/bale wrapper ( 1 ) comprises a chassis ( 5 ) on which a baler ( 10 ) and a bale wrapper ( 11 ) are mounted. The baler ( 10 ) comprises a stationary segment ( 18 ), a lower segment ( 19 ) and an upper segment ( 20 ) all of which carry bale forming rollers ( 25 ) which define a bale forming chamber ( 15 ) within which a round bale ( 2 ) is formed. The lower segment ( 19 ) and the upper segment ( 20 ) are pivotal about first and second pivot axes ( 35,40 ), respectively from a bale forming position (FIG. 5 ) to a discharge position (FIG. 1 ) for transferring a bale upwardly rearwardly from of the bale forming chamber ( 15 ) directly onto first and second bale supporting rollers ( 50 ) of the bale wrapper ( 11 ). The bale supporting rollers ( 50 ) rotate the bale ( 2 ) about a first wrapping axis ( 53 ) while a carrier ring ( 55 ) simultaneously revolves a pair of wrapping material dispensers ( 54 ) about a second horizontal wrapping axis ( 56 ) for dispensing wrapping material onto the bale ( 2 ) for wrapping thereof. The combined baler/bale wrapper is efficient, compact and of minimum length.
