Oversize bale release mechanism for waste material baler

摘要

A waste baling machine having a baling or compression chamber of generally parallelopiped configuration is provided with a charging passage leading thereto with the head of a charging ram reciprocable in the passage and normally forming, in one position, a wall of the chamber. A discharge passage leads from the chamber at right angles to the charging passage and the head of a discharge ram, which when retracted forms a wall of the chamber, is advancable through the chamber and the discharge passage to eject waste material compressed in the chamber by the charging ram, i.e. a bale. If the bale is oversize and protrudes back into the charging passage, a portion of the wall of the discharge passage which forms a part of the charging passage is moved to enlarge the discharge passage sufficiently to permit ejection of the oversize bale.
