Abstract
An apparatus for drying cylindrical and/or parallelepiped bales of moist forage including an assembly of horizontally extending balanced isobaric ventilation chambers in overlying relationship. A lower ventilation chamber has blowing apertures on an upper face and is able to withstand the weight of the bales positioned directly on it in correspondence with the relative blowing apertures. The upper ventilation chamber has corresponding blowing apertures on a lower face whereas the intermediate ventilation chamber has corresponding blowing apertures on an upper face and a lower face and is able to withstand the weight of the bales positioned directly on it in correspondence with the relative upper blowing apertures. The ventilation chambers are movable vertically in two directions.
Claims20
An apparatus (1;
- 1A';
- 1B';
- C) for drying cylindrical (3) or parallelepiped bales of moist forage, comprising an assemblage (2) of horizontally extending ventilation chambers (2a, 2b, 2c) in overlying relationship, the lower ventilation chamber (2a) presenting a plurality of blowing apertures (4;
- 11) on its upper face, the bales (3) being positioned on the lower ventilation chamber (2a) in correspondence with the relative blowing apertures (4;
- 11), the upper ventilation chamber (2b) presenting a corresponding plurality of blowing apertures (4;
- 11) on its lower face, the intermediate ventilation chambers (2c) presenting a corresponding plurality of blowing apertures (4;
- 11) both on their upper face and on their lower face, the bales (3) being positioned on the intermediate ventilation chamber (2c) in correspondence with its upper blowing apertures (4;
- 11) , means (6) being provided for mutually moving the ventilation chambers (2a, 2b, 2c) vertically in the two directions, characterized in that the ventilation chambers (2a, 2b, 2c) are balanced isobarically and are able to withstand the weight of the bales (3) directly positioned on it.
An apparatus for drying cylindrical parallelepiped bales of moist forage, comprising
- an assembly of horizontally extending ventilation chambers in overlying relationship, a lowermost one of the ventilation chambers having a plurality of blowing apertures on an upper face, the bales being positionable on the lower ventilation chamber in correspondence with the relative blowing apertures, an uppermost one of the ventilation chambers having a corresponding plurality of blowing apertures on a lower face, an intermediate one of the ventilation chambers having a corresponding plurality of blowing apertures on an upper face and a lower face, the bales being positionable on the intermediate ventilation chamber in correspondence with the blowing apertures on the upper face, and
- means for mutually moving the ventilation chambers vertically in two directions,
- the ventilation chambers being balanced isobarically and structured and arranged to withstand the weight of the bales directly positioned thereon.
