<p>A baling press (10) has a load chamber adapted to receive material to be compressed into bales by a piston mechanism. The press also includes a choking chamber to grasp the last formed bale so that additional material can be compressed against it by the piston mechanism to form a fresh bale. The choking chamber includes moveable side walls (16, 17) which can be pulled towards each other by floating cylinders (18A, 18B) to grasp the bale within the choking chamber. When pressure in the piston mechanism exceeds a predetermined limit, the cylinders (18A, 18B) are momentarily released to enable the bale in the choking chamber to slip forward a small amount and thereby allow new material to be compressed into the new bale by the piston mechanism. In another embodiment, the top panel (30) is fixed but adjustable, and the bottom panel (31) is pivotable up and down by hydraulic cylinders (33) to grasp and release the bale in the choking chamber.</p> |
