Abstract
A filling device (3) and a filling method for fibrous material (6) on a bale press (1). The filling device (3) is arranged between a fiber supply (2) and a pressing device (5) of the bale press and comprises a collecting chamber (9) for the fibrous material (6) with a supply opening (16) as well as a discharge opening (17) with a controllable closure (18). A driven slide (25) of an integrated precompression device (4) is movable in a reversing manner between the openings (16, 17), which precompresses the collected fibrous material in one or more stages in the collection chamber (9) before collected fibrous material is transferred to the pressing device.

A filling device for fibrous material on a baling press, wherein the filling device is configured for an arrangement between a fiber feed and a press shaft of a pressing device of the baling press, the filling device comprising:
- a collecting chamber for the fibrous material with a feed opening as well as with a discharge opening directed to the press shaft;
- a driven slide movable in a reversing manner between the openings;
- an integrated precompacting device, which collects the fibrous material in the collecting chamber and precompacts the fibrous material in the collecting chamber with the slide in one or more stages;
- and
- a controllable closure arranged at the discharge opening to the press shaft.

A filling method for fibrous material on a baling press by means of a filling device, which is arranged between a fiber feed and a pressing device comprising a press shaft, the method comprising the steps of:
- feeding the fibrous material through a feed opening into a collecting chamber of the filling device and discharging fibrous material through a discharge opening to the press shaft of the pressing device, wherein the fibrous material in the filling device is moved with a driven slide that is movable in a reversing manner between the openings;
- collecting the fibrous material in the collecting chamber by means of an integrated precompacting device of the filling device;
- and
- precompacting collected fibrous material in the collecting chamber with the slide in one or more stages, wherein the collecting chamber is provided with a controllable closure for the discharging of the precompacted fibrous material to the press shaft through the discharge opening, which is provided with the controllable closure.
