Abstract
Hinged sidewall member for precompressing waste material in the charging chamber of a horizontal waste baling machine. The hinged sidewall member is located in the charging chamber and has a sidewall and a top cover member extending perpendicularly to the sidewall. The hinged sidewall member is hydraulically operated about a pivot to precharge waste material in the charging chamber prior to compression in an adjacent compression chamber by a reciprocating compression ram.
Claims4
A baler for compressing waste material into a bale comprising:
- a. a main compression cylinder which drives a main compression ram;
- b. a charging hopper into which said waste material to be compressed is loaded;
- c. a charging chamber connected to said hopper for receiving waste material from said hopper and for precompressing said waste material comprising:
- (1) a first fixed side planar member;
- (2) a bottom fixed planar member;
- (3) a hinged sidewall with a covered top member aligned perpendicular to said hinged sidewall, said hinged sidewall pivotally connected to said bottom planar member forming a second side to said charging chamber and a top to said charging chamber when positioned in a closed position to precompress waste material contained in said charging chamber and forming an opening to said hopper when positioned in an open position;
- d. a linear actuator attached to said first fixed side member and to said hinged sidewall for pivoting said hinged sidewall between said opened and closed positions;
- and,
- e. a compression chamber connected to said charging chamber to receive said waste material precompressed in said charging chamber and discharged along a horizontal line from said charging chamber by said main compression ram.
