System for baling textile waste from a plurality of sources.

摘要

A system for segregating and baling textile wastes supplied from a plurality of separate sources includes a plurality of filling stations (10) which receive the wastes from the separate sources. An upwardly opening portable waste receiving bin (11) is mounted within each filling station (10) with the lower end of each bin carrying a detachable bottom platen (59). As transfer mechanism (26) moves each bin selectively, back and forth between its filling station (10) and a compression station (27) where the wastes are compressed within the bin (11). Actuator units (97) in the compression station disconnect the bin (11) from its platen (59) and raise the bin to an upper position about a movable ram (88) to thus expose the bale (B) for final bale out.
