Estimating the term…
A combined baler/bale wrapper (1) includes a chassis (5) on which a baler (10) and a bale wrapper (11) are mounted. The baler (10) includes a stationary segment (18), a lower segment (19) and an upper segment (20) which together define a bale forming chamber (15) within which a round bale (2) is formed. The lower segment (19) and the upper segment (20) are pivotal from a bale forming position (FIG. 5) to a discharge position (FIG. 1) for transferring a bale of the bale forming chamber (15) onto bale supporting rollers (50) of the bale wrapper (11). The bale supporting rollers (50) rotate the bale (2) about a first wrapping axis (53) while a carrier ring (55) simultaneously revolves a pair of wrapping material dispensers (54) about a second wrapping axis (56) for dispensing wrapping material onto the bale (2).
A combined baler/bale wrapper for forming and wrapping a cylindrical bale of material with wrapping material, the baler/bale wrapper comprising a baler for forming a bale, the baler having a bale forming chamber within which the bale is formed, a bale wrapping means for receiving the bale from the baler for wrapping thereof, and a transfer means for transferring the bale from the baler to the bale wrapping means, characterised in that the transfer means transfers the bale in a generally upwardly outwardly direction from the bale forming chamber to the bale wrapping means.
A combined baler/bale wrapper for forming and wrapping a cylindrical bale of material with wrapping material, the baler/bale wrapper comprising a baler for forming a bale, the baler having a bale forming chamber within which the bale is formed, a bale wrapping means located in a bale wrapping area for receiving the bale from the baler for wrapping thereof, and a transfer means for transferring the bale from the baler to the bale wrapping means, characterised in that the transfer means transfers the bale directly from the bale forming chamber to the bale wrapping area for wrapping thereof.
A combined baler/bale wrapper for forming and wrapping a cylindrical bale of material in a wrapping material, the baler/bale wrapper comprising a baler for forming a bale, the baler having a bale forming chamber within which the bale is formed, a bale wrapping means for receiving the bale from the bale forming chamber for wrapping thereof, and a transfer means for transferring the bale from the bale forming chamber to the bale wrapping means, characterised in that the transfer means is operable to traverse into the bale forming chamber for urging the bale from the bale forming chamber.
A combined baler/bale wrapper for forming and wrapping a cylindrical bale of material with wrapping material, the baler/bale wrapper comprising a baler for forming a bale, and a bale wrapping means for receiving the bale from the baler for wrapping thereof, characterised in that the bale wrapping means comprises a bale support means for receiving the bale from the baler and for rotating the bale about a first wrapping axis coinciding with the central geometrical axis of the bale, and a wrapping material dispensing means for dispensing the wrapping material onto the bale for wrapping thereof, one of the bale supporting means and the dispensing means being rotatable about a second wrapping axis at an angle to the first wrapping axis simultaneously while the bale is being rotated about the first wrapping axis for causing the wrapping material to be drawn from the dispensing means and wrapped onto the bale.
A combined baler/bale wrapper for forming and wrapping a cylindrical bale of material with wrapping material, the baler/bale wrapper comprising a baler for forming a bale, the baler having a bale forming chamber within which the bale is formed, a bale wrapping means for receiving the bale from the baler for wrapping thereof, and a transfer means for transferring the bale from the baler to the bale wrapping means, characterised in that the transfer means transfers the bale directly from the bale forming chamber to the bale wrapping means for wrapping thereof.
