Method and apparatus for the bundling of bales of stalk material

摘要

In the method according to the invention, in each case at least two bales are lined up with longitudinal side faces bearing against one another in pairs to form a bale row (36). At least two bale rows (36) lined up in succession are connected to one another by means of at least one band tie-round (56) engaging transversely over the free longitudinal side faces (2) of the bales, to form a bale group (54). Finally, at least one further bale group (54) bearing against the preceding bale group (54) are connected to one another by means of a band tie-round (56) adjoining the band tie-round (56) of the preceding bale group, to form a bale bundle (58). The loading and transport operation for even small high-pressure bales can thereby be mechanised and at the same time an easy handling of the individual bales at the place of use is guaranteed. <IMAGE>
