The material to be compacted is pushed into a
narrowing channel. The narrowing avoids that
a back pressure is building up. A retaining
device avoids the compacted material from
getting back into the pressing channel.
Retaining device – on both sides
As extra equipment the installation of a
hydraulic channel adjustment is possible. You
will find the corresponding description in
chapter 5.3.1.
Retaining device – from the inside.
While the compressing process starts, tie-up
material is fed by several rollers on the one
side of the forming bale. While the bale grows
both in volume and length tie-up material is
pulled over and under the bale. This tie-up
material later on, after the requested bale
length has been achieved, serves to tie up
the bale.
5.3.1. Hydraulic channel adjustment
Four hydraulic cylinders are mounted at the
channel outlet.
The material to be compacted is pushed into
a narrowing channel. Channel narrowing
causes counter-pressure to build up. A
retaining device (10) is used to keep the
compacted material in the press chamber
(see page 5-4).
