Rotary baler with side pressure release

摘要

A baling apparatus of the type which is moved along a windrow of fodder and rolls a large bale in a baling chamber which has side plates to confine the ends of the bale. One side plate is mounted for lateral translatory movement, provided by a hydraulic cylinder unit, so as to reduce the confining pressure on the bale at the time of bale discharge. Bale formation and discharge are also improved by providing the baling chamber with a set of closely spaced, transversely extending rotatable rollers which support the bale during bale formation and discharge.
