Abstract:

A continuous extrusion type reciprocating baling apparatus includes an end pad insertion mechanism which permits end pads to be automatically inserted into the baling chamber at each end of the bale. The end pad insertion mechanism works in conjunction with a bale tying apparatus so that end pads can be provided on each end of automatically tied bales. The end pad insertion mechanism is located above the baling chamber so that end pads are inserted downwardly into the baling chamber, to permit the typing apparatus to be provided on each side of the baler. The end pad insertion mechanism includes an enclosure for containing a supply of end pads and a plate to push the end pads downwardly through a slot provided in the baling chamber.

Abstract:

A baling machine includes a gathering chamber and a baling chamber. The gathering chamber includes a charging inlet through which material to be baled is delivered into the gathering chamber. The baling chamber communicates with the gathering chamber to allow compressed material to be forced from the gathering chamber into the baling chamber against the end wall. The baling chamber has a discharge outlet at one side for ejection of compressed material from the baling chamber. A gathering ram is reciprocal within the gathering chamber. The gathering ram includes a ram head movable between a retracted position and an advanced position to compress material in the gathering chamber and to drive compressed material into the baling chamber. An ejection ram is reciprocal within the baling chamber. The ejection ram includes a main ram head and an auxiliary ram head adjacent to each other.
