A bale wrapping machine for wrapping square and rectangular bales (24) of silage, hay, straw and the like with a plastics film (17). The machine comprises a turntable (6) which is rotatable about a vertical axis and which can support the bale (24) and rotate the bale (24) about the vertical axis. The machine has a conveyor floor (12) on the turntable (6) to turn the bale about a horizontal axis and a film dispensing system (16) for applying plastics material (17) to the bale (24) as the bale (24) is simultaneously turned about the vertical and horizontal axes to wrap the plastics material (17) around the bale (24). The machine has drive rollers (18) forwardly and rearwardly of the conveyor to apply an upward motion to a leading portion of the bale (24) and a downward motion to the bale (24) so that the bale (24) is turned about a horizontal axis of the bale (24). Alternatively, an inclined conveyor belt may be used instead of rollers. A lifting mechanism (70) for lifting rectangular bales onto the turntable is also described. |
