CONTINUOUS BALE FORMING APPARATUS WITH A RECIPROCATING BALE PUSHING DEVICE

摘要

The invention refers to a bale forming apparatus and a bale forming method. A bale (B) is formed in a bale forming chamber. A bale pushing device (115) pushes the bale (B) away from an outlet (7) onto a bale supporting construction (11). A guiding element (119) is pivoted into a guiding position. The guiding element (119) in the guiding position contributes to guide a bale forming means (10) such that a bale forming device a chamber is also provided when the bale (B) is on the bale supporting construction (11). A new bale (B') is formed in the provided bale forming chamber. The bale pushing device (115) is pivoted around the pivoting axis (112) in a pushing direction and backwards and performs a reciprocating movement. Pivoting the bale pushing device (115) in the pushing direction causes the guiding element (119) to be pushed and pivoted into the guiding position.
