    摘要: A bale processing apparatus include a frame, a bale hopper defining a bale chamber for receiving a bale, a bale shredding assembly including a shredding rotor rotatable in a rotor chamber, and a bale movement assembly configured to move a bale in the bale chamber toward the bale feed opening and the shredding rotor. In embodiments, the apparatus may be mountable on support arms of a loader such that the bale processing apparatus is liftable off of the ground surface, and may include a rotor operating assembly may be mounted on the frame and configured to rotate the shredding rotor, and the operating assembly may include an engine fully mounted on the frame such that the frame and the engine may be removed as a unit from the loader. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: The present application is directed to a system and processing method for fractionating pre-formed forage hay bales into a fractionated leaf portion and a fractionated stem portion. More particularly, the system involves grinding, chopping and shredding bales, and fractionating the chopped and shredded bales using a shaker table and grate assembly, into a fractionated leaf portion and a fractionated stem portion using a shaker table. The resulting fractionated leaf portion and fractionated stem portion can then be further processed into pellets for animal feed products, or the fractionated stem portion can be re-baled. Pelletization includes customizing the size of the pellets and the addition of additives to the pellets according to customers specifications for customized animal feed products. Pellets derived from the fractionated leaf portion and the fractionated stem portion are then packaged, typically in bags, for storage and transport.

    摘要: A bale spreader having a chassis, one or more feed conveyors mounted to the chassis and a spreader rotor mounted to the chassis. The feed conveyor(s) are configured to transport material from a bale along a feed path. During spreading, the spreader rotor receives the material from the feed path and the axis of the spreader rotor is higher than the feed path. The spreader rotor can be movable between a first position in the feed path and second position not in the feed path. The spreader rotor can be driven by a belt. The feed conveyor(s) may be a plurality of feed drums. One of the feed drums can have teeth that extend between flails of the spreader rotor in use. The flails can rotate with their broad sides forwards. The spreader can also have a conveyor platform for round bales and another platform for square bales that can be placed over the conveyor platform.

    摘要: An implement includes a bale cutting device, which includes a carrier that can be pivoted about a pivot axis, and a support connected to the carrier. A cutter bar is attached to and supported by the support so as to be movable at least substantially in the direction of a longitudinal extent of the support. The implement may include at least one pick-up for engaging a bale. In operation, the cutter bar is positioned on a far side of the bale, with the bale between the carrier and the cutter bar. The cutter bar may then be drawn inward into the bale to cut the bale approximately in half.

    摘要: An automatic net wrap remover is shown and described. The automatic net wrap remover includes a housing constructed of a base and a plurality of sidewalls. The housing has an interior volume. The base supports a belt system that will support a round hay bale and help to rotate the bale. A spindle is attached to the top of one of the plurality of sidewalls that will engage the hay bale. A blade is attached adjacent to the spindle that will cut the net wrapping of the hay bale.

    摘要: A hay bale feeder is described. Embodiments of the hay bale feeder include a frame, one or more bale support members, and a pair of spaced apart drum assemblies. The hay bale feeder can be implemented to shred a square hay bale. The hay bale feeder can typically be attached to a tractor or other vehicle. The pair of spaced apart drum assemblies can include a pair of drums having protrusions that are adapted to shred a square hay bale as the square hay bale is gravity fed to the pair of drum assemblies.

    摘要: A device for spraying bulk or piecemeal products includes a casing with a rotary spraying organ and a lateral ejection opening prolonged by a spout. The rotary organ includes radial vanes designed to form a material jet directed along the axis of the spout, with generation of a carrier air stream. The ejection opening is provided with a bounding rim disposed on that side of the opening which is last to be reached by the outer peripheral ends of the vanes in the course of their rotation during operational functioning of the device. The spraying device also includes an active and mobile organ, designed for directing the products that come into contact with it through the opening, into the spout and substantially into the jet of ejected material. The active and mobile organ is disposed in the region of the rim.
