BALE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH A REAR HOUSING PART PIVOTAL ABOUT AT LEAST 90 DEGREES

摘要

The invention refers to a bale forming apparatus and a bale forming method for forming cylindrical bales of material. An intake device conveys material through an outlet into a bale forming chamber which is surrounded by a bale forming means and which is situated adjacent to the outlet. A front housing part and a rear housing part (17) are adapted for being connected with each other to form a bale forming housing. The rear housing part (17) together with a bale on a bale carrying member (18) can be pivoted with respect to the front housing part around an angle of at least 90 degrees. The rear housing part (17) can be pivoted from a bale receiving position into a bale ejecting position where the bale is ejected.
