Crop baler belt system

A belt system for use with a plurality of rollers, comprising an elongated elastomeric belt having an inner surface and an outer surface;

• a set of flexible cleaning bars disposed on said elongated elastomeric belt for cleaning debris off at least one of said rollers;
• and a portion of said elongated elastomeric belt devoid of said cleaning bars, wherein said set of cleaning bars comprises:
• a central bar;
• a first subset of secondary bars disposed on said belt to a first side of said central bar, said first subset of secondary bars comprising a first end bar and at least one intermediate bar disposed between said first end bar and said central bar;
• and
• a second subset of secondary bars disposed to a second an opposite side of said central bar, said second subset of secondary bars comprising a second end bar and at least one said intermediate bar disposed between said first end bar and said central bar,
• wherein the length and height of a first given bar from said first subset is less than the lengths of the said bars from said first subset that are disposed closer to said central bar than said first given bar and greater than the lengths of said bars from said first set that are disposed farther from said central bar than said first given bar;
• and the length and height of a second given bar from said second subset is less than the lengths of the said bars from said second subset that are disposed closer to said center bar than said second given bar and greater than the lengths of said bars from said second subset that are disposed farther from said center bar than said second given bar.

A crop baling system, comprising:

• a baling machine operable to form round crop bales, said baling machine having a plurality of rollers;
• an elongated elastomeric belt being in contact with said rollers, said elastomeric belt having an inner surface and an outer surface;
• at least one set of flexible cleaning bars disposed on said inner surface for performing at least one of the functions of cleaning said rollers and urging said crop into a round bale;
• and
• a portion of said elongated elastomeric belt devoid of said cleaning bars.

A crop bailing system, comprising:

• a baling machine operable to form round crop bales, said baling machine having a plurality of rollers:
• an elongated elastomeric belt being in contact with said rollers, said elastomeric belt having an inner surface and an outer surface;
• at least one set of flexible cleaning bars disposed on said elastomeric belt for performing at least one of the functions of cleaning said rollers and urging said crop into a round bale;
• and
• a portion of said elongated elastomeric belt devoid of said cleaning bars,
• wherein said set of cleaning bars comprises:
• a central bar;
• a first subset of secondary bars disposed on said belt to a first side of said central bar;
• and
• a second subset of secondary bars disposed to a second and opposite side of said central bar.
