Abstract
A conveying device for agricultural presses for compression of harvest products and including a pick-up drum for picking up the harvest products, a conveying channel located downstream of the pick-up drum and opening into the pressing space of a press, a feeding rotor limiting the conveying channel from above, a plurality of cutting knives extending through the channel bottom, and resilient elements for supporting the channel bottom and located at an end of the channel bottom adjacent to the pick-up drum so that the bottom may be moved downward against a spring force.
Claims12
A conveying device for agricultural presses for compression of harvest products and having a pressing space, said device comprising:
- a pick-up drum for picking the harvest products;
- a conveying channel located downstream of said pick-up drum and opening into the pressing space, said conveying channel having a channel bottom;
- a feeding rotor limiting said conveying channel from above and provided with feeding claws,
- a plurality of cutting knives extending through said channel bottom;
- and
- means for resiliently supporting said channel bottom at an end thereof adjacent to the pick-up drum in a region beneath a portion of a circular path of said feeding claws in which said feeding claws plunge into said conveying channel, said channel bottom moving automatically downward at said adjacent end against a biasing force of said resilient means when pressure of said feeding rotor on a harvest product exceeds a predetermined biasing force applied by said resiliently supporting means.
