    摘要: A round baler includes a bale size sensor operable to detect a radial size of a bale during formation thereof, a bale weight sensor operable to detect a weight of a completed bale, and a location sensor operable to determine a respective field origin location of the crop material gathered for each respective one of a plurality of radial layers of the bale. A controller calculates a density of a completed bale with data from the bale weight sensor and the bale size sensor. The controller determines a volume of a respective one of the radial layers during formation of a current bale, subsequent to the completed bale, with data from the bale size sensor. The controller may then estimate a density of the respective one of the radial layers based on the volume of the respective one of the radial layers, and the density of the previously completed bale.

    摘要: A continuous round baler forms a cylindrically-shaped bale by spiral, coiled layers created by a conical portion of a bale-forming chamber and protruded upwardly from a cylindrical portion of the bale-forming chamber. The bale is circumferentially supported by netting applied to the bale in the cylindrical portion. A rotary feed table receives crop from the field and feeds the crop into the conical portion. The bale forming process can be interrupted if an insufficient volume of crop is collected on the rotary feed table. The netting material is provided on short rolls to facilitate loading onto the machine. A cutoff mechanism is coupled to the growth of the bale from the cylindrical portion to sever the bale at a predetermined length with end surfaces that are perpendicular to the axis of the bale. A bale density mechanism supports the distal end of the bale as the bale protrudes upwardly.

    摘要: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to baling materials. In some embodiments, there is provided a method for baling recyclable materials including placing mixed type recyclable materials inside a baling machine while not adding one or more layers of cardboard header materials inside the baling machine, the one or more layers of cardboard header materials normally used to structurally enhance a compressed shape of materials; compressing, by the baling machine, the mixed type recyclable materials into a shape suitable for at least one of storage and transportation; twining and securing the shape of the mixed type recyclable materials that have been compressed by the baling machine with one or more strings of baling wires resulting in a bale comprising twined and compressed mixed type recyclable materials; and wrapping the bale with a shrink film.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a round baler for harvested agricultural material, which round baler forms a pressing chamber for pressing a round bale, comprising a wrapping device for wrapping the pressed round bale with a sheathing material and comprising a transfer device, which is configured to form a transfer segment, via which the pressed round bale can be transferred in a transfer direction from the pressing chamber to the wrapping device, and comprising at least one transfer segment device, which, at least in a first position, forms at least a predominant first part of the transfer segment, wherein the transfer device comprises a transfer drive element, which, to drive the pressed round bale to the wrapping device, is mounted movably relative to the transfer segment device at least proportionally in the transfer direction in at least one drive position, in which position the transfer segment device is arranged at least partially between the transfer drive element and a ground contact plane of the round baler. The present invention further relates to a method of operating a round baler.

    摘要: A crop bale wrap delivery system and method selectively pays out a sheet of wrap at a selectable sheet feed rate selected from a range of sheet feed rates. The wrap delivery system and method selectively pays out a first portion of the wrap onto a rotating crop module at a first sheet feed rate and pays out a second portion of the wrap onto the module at a second sheet feed rate different from the first sheet feed rate. Three or more portions of the wrap may be payed out onto the crop module at three of more differed sheet feed rates that may be selectable by an operator or based on properties of the wrap material or the crop. The wrap feed rate may be a selectable variable or a continuously variable sheet feed rate selected from a range of pay out feeds or feed rates.

    摘要: A round baler (1) that includes a feed channel (6) leading to a pressing chamber (55), a drivable transfer device (20) to convey harvested material through the feed channel (6) toward the pressing chamber (55) in a pressing mode, as well as a storage device (30) with a storage space (32). There is a means to continuously pick up harvested material, and a storage device (30) has a storage space wall (31) which outwardly delimits the storage space (32), in communication with the feed channel (6) by means of at least one storage space opening (33), as well as a drivable storage space conveyor (34) for the harvested material within the storage space (32), wherein, in storage mode, the storage device (30) intakes harvested material from the feed channel (6) and, in the pressing mode, discharges harvested material to the feed channel (6) both with a storage space opening(s) (33).
