Abstract
A machine for making bales from plant matter includes a compression chamber, a conveying device for conveying the plant matter into the compression chamber, a piston able to move in the compression chamber in order to compress the plant matter, and a drive device for driving the translational movement of the piston. The drive device further includes a hydraulic device comprising a hydraulic pump connected to the coupling member, a hydraulic motor powered by the hydraulic pump, a drive member driven by the hydraulic motor and configured to move the piston in a translational movement, and a control device for controlling the movement of the piston.
Claims11
A machine for making bales from plant matter, said machine being movable with respect to the ground and including:
- a compression chamber;
- a conveying device for conveying the plant matter into the compression chamber;
- a piston able to move in a translational movement within the compression chamber in order to compress the plant matter;
- a drive device having a coupling member arranged to be connected to a rotating drive element, the drive device being further arranged to actuate the piston in a translational movement;
- wherein the drive device further includes:
- a hydraulic device comprising a hydraulic pump connected to the coupling member;
- a hydraulic motor powered by the hydraulic pump;
- and
- a drive member driven by the hydraulic motor and configured to move the piston in the translational movement;
- and
- a control device connected to the hydraulic device for controlling the movement of the piston;
- wherein the machine is devoid of a flywheel configured to behave as a reserve of power.
