Estimating the term…
Apparatus for shaping fodder feed and the like for flat storage thereof and having a molding channel mounted upon an undercarriage and compression roller means disposed therein. The compression roller means includes a roller having a shaft provided with a plurality of rigid tines or teeth arranged progressively spiraled about the circumference thereof for almost the entire length of the shaft. Said teeth are arranged in two adjacent sets or groups, each set or group completing part of a circumscription of the shaft. The teeth are arranged to cooperate with a stripping basket formed of spaced metal strips. Each set of teeth may be divided into outer and inner ones relative the ends of the roller. The tips of the teeth in the inner group have a smaller angular displacement relative to the adjacent teeth when compared with the angular displacement of the outer teeth, which are adjacent the sides of the channel walls when the roller is installed. Feeding means in the form of an oscillating slide are disclosed, said means being positionally and longitudinally adjustable. Guide or deflector means are provided cooperating with the molding channel, basket and roller to assure absence of gaps within the completed feed product formed.
Apparatus for forming a continuous strand or mat of agricultural feed stock for storage thereof in flat layers, said apparatus including an undercarriage, a movable molding channel mounted to said undercarriage, compression means arranged in said molding channel comprising a roller extending almost across the full width of said channel, a plurality of teeth secured circumferentially on said roller along the length thereof, a stripping basket arranged in the lower part of said channel and operatively associated with said roller, upper and lower guide plate means mounted in said channel for guiding said feed stock which is pressed by said roller towards a stationary wall, said teeth being arranged along helical lines on the press roller, and the roller being supported within said stripping basket.
