Abstract
Small bunches of baleable material are formed into self-sustaining tied small bales as the material is fed to a large container. A plurality of the small bales filling the container are tied into a self-sustaining large bale. Untying a large bale from storage produces a plurality of easily handled tied small bales instead of a large mass of loose material.
Claims5
In a baling apparatus of the type including a large generally rectangular container into which baleable material is fed to fill the container and form a large bale which is encircled by large bale ties for sustaining the large bale, the improvement comprising:
- means for encircling small bunches of said baleable material with small bale ties as said material is fed into said container to successively form a plurality of individual self-sustaining small bales substantially smaller in size than said large bale, whereby removal of the large bale ties produces a plurality of self-sustaining small bales instead of a mass of loose material.
Baling apparatus comprising:
- a large generally rectangular container having an entry throat, means for feeding baleable material from said entry throat into said container, means for encircling small bunches of said baleable material with small bale ties as said material is fed into said container to successively form a plurality of small bales, and means for encircling all of said small bales in said container with large bale ties to form a large self-sustaining bale made up of a plurality of self-sustaining small bales.
