<p>Bales (23) of refuse, are ejected one after the other from a baling press (1) on to a chute (4) whence they are loaded in two or more layers into a transport container (7). To load the bales in this way, a crane (9) has grippers (17) which pick up the individual bales and move them in the pressing direction of the horizontally acting press (1), transversely to this direction and vertically to assemble them into a stack on a table (5). Each stack has four bales formed in two layers each consisting of two bales side by side. Each stack is then pushed by a bale slide (6,14) into the container and pushes previous stacks in front of it further into the container. This technique enables the press to operate continuously as, when a container is full, it can be replaced by an empty container while a stack is being formed.</p> |
