Preconditioner for hay baler

摘要

A hay conditioner (packager) which has an elongate processing chamber with opposite lateral walls 5 and 6 and an upper wall 7 adapted for positioning so that it substantially encloses a longitudinal part of an alignment of cut feed over which the conditioner is moved. A steam (vapour) generator 16 is coupled to a series of steam-outlet nozzles in manifolds 9 and 10 inside the processing chamber so that the material of the alignment of cut feed is treated with steam emerging from said outlet nozzles as the conditioner moves along the alignment of cut feed.
