Method for compressing harvested material - pressure plate and counter-pressure plate to form silage bales

摘要

In a method of making silage blocks, the silage is harvested comminuted and portioned into the press channel by one stroke of the press plate (1) per portion against a controlled counter-pressure created by a counter-press-plate (2). The portions (5) collected between the press-plate (1) and the counter-press-plate (2) are pressed into one complete bale (7), so that the material harvested achieves the greatest possible relaxation of the expansion pressure over time. USE/ADVANTAGE - A maximum end pressure is achieved in every compression, and the bales have a height much greater than the stroke of the press-plate.
