Abstract
A supply apparatus for supplying wrapping material to a wrapper inlet of a baling chamber, in which a bale is to be wrapped. A reservoir supplies the wrapping material to an upper driven roller forming a lower part of the wrapper inlet. The wrapping material is guided to the wrapper inlet from above the wrapper inlet. A displaceable supply unit is located between the reservoir and the upper driven roller, the supply unit being moveable between a baling position and a wrapping position about a pivot axis located above the wrapper inlet. A free end of the wrapping material outside of the baling chamber is protected by the displaceable supply unit from air turbulence during operation of the baling apparatus.
Claims19
A wrapping material supply apparatus for supplying wrapping material to a wrapper inlet of a baling chamber, in which baling chamber a bale is to be wrapped with the wrapping material, the wrapping material supply apparatus comprising:
- a reservoir from which the wrapping material is supplied to an upper driven roller forming a lower part of the wrapper inlet, the wrapping material being guided to the wrapper inlet from above the wrapper inlet;
- and
- a wrapping material supply unit comprising a channel having substantially parallel sides, the channel being displaceable between a baling position and a wrapping position, the wrapping material supply unit being displaceable about a pivot axis located above the wrapper inlet.
A wrapping material supply apparatus for supplying wrapping material to a wrapper inlet of a baling chamber, in which baling chamber a bale is to be wrapped with the wrapping material, the wrapping material supply apparatus comprising:
- a reservoir from which the wrapping material is supplied to an upper driven roller forming a lower part of the wrapper inlet, the wrapping material being guided to the wrapper inlet from above the wrapper inlet;
- and
- a wrapping material supply unit comprising a channel having substantially parallel sides, the channel being displaceable between a baling position and a wrapping position, wherein opposing sides of the wrapping material supply unit channel each comprise a driven conveyor.
A wrapping material supply apparatus for supplying wrapping material to a wrapper inlet of a baling chamber, in which baling chamber a bale is to be wrapped with the wrapping material, the wrapping material supply apparatus comprising:
- a reservoir from which the wrapping material is supplied to an upper driven roller forming a lower part of the wrapper inlet, the wrapping material being guided to the wrapper inlet from above the wrapper inlet;
- and
- a wrapping material supply unit comprising a channel having substantially parallel sides, the channel being displaceable between a baling position and a wrapping position, wherein one of the sides of the wrapping material supply unit channel is biased with respect to the opposing side of the channel, wherein the biased side of the wrapping material supply unit channel comprises a central planar portion fixedly secured towards a lower end of the channel and located adjacent a biasing element towards an upper end of the channel.
