A combined baler/bale wrapper

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 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 is formed. The lower segment and the upper segment are pivotal about first and second pivot axes (35, 40), respectively from a bale forming position to a discharge position for transferring a bale upwardly rearwardly from of the bale forming chamber directly onto first and second bale supporting rollers (50) of the bale wrapper. The bale supporting rollers rotate the bale 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 for wrapping thereof.
