A bale wrapping device for a round baler includes a wrapping material roller having a wrapping material. The wrapping material roller is able to be brought into engagement with a brake roller, and a cutting apparatus for cutting off the wrapping material from the wrapping material roller. A brake apparatus cooperates with the brake roller, and is actuatable by the cutting apparatus such that a rotational movement of the brake roller is able to be braked by the brake apparatus.

A bale wrapping device for a round baler includes a drive roller by which a wrapping material is able to be unrolled from a wrapping material roller. The drive roller is connected to a drive and brake apparatus. The drive and brake apparatus is connected to a brake belt which is able to be tensioned in a variable manner. The bale wrapping device further comprises a tensioning lever apparatus and the brake belt is connected to the tensioning lever apparatus. The pre-tensioning of the brake belt is adjustable by means of the tensioning lever apparatus between at least three different pre-tensionings.

The present invention relates to a load handling equipment and, more specifically, to an equipment for handling load bales tied with wire. The equipment of the present invention comprises at least one locating portion (11, 110, 1100), the locating portion (11, 110, 1100) comprising a gripping element (12, 120, 1200) formed by two gripping parts which move away and approximate to get the tie wire, wherein approaching and moving away the gripping parts is accomplished by means of a pneumatic cylinder (14, 140, 1400).

The present invention relates to a method for producing a packed bale of highly compacted filter tow material. A compressed filter tow bale is first provided in cuboid shape in a baler. Then the compressed filter tow bale is packaged, having an air-tight packaging sleeve fully enclosing the compressed filter tow bale. According to the invention, the packaging sleeve is applied to the compressed filter tow bales such that at least 80%, preferably at least 90% and more preferably at least 95%, of the packaging sleeve is directly adjacent to the highly compacted filter tow material and touches, or is at least spaced less than 15 mm from, the highly compacted filter tow material.

A protective cover for round cotton modules is provided that includes a body covering the plastic-wrapped perimeter of the cylindrical bale and two ends walls, each having a semi-circular to circular perimeter, that cover a majority portion of the exposed ends of the cotton module. The cover is secured in place by at least one cinching structure that extends around the perimeter of the bale at a height that is below the maximum diameter of the bale.

The present invention provides a package of a filter tow bale made of cellulose acetate packed with a packing material in a non-hermetic state, which can be stacked in multistage and in which tows in the same bale can be uniformly maintained. The package of the filter tow bale made of cellulose acetate is packed with the packing material in the non-hermetic state, in which the filter tow bale is tightened with the packing material in the package, the filter tow bale has a cubic shape or a rectangular parallelepiped shape with 800 to 1,400 mm in length, 800 to 1,150 mm in width, and 800 to 1,100 mm in height, and a packing initial pressure between a top surface of the filter tow bale and the packing material is 6.3 kPa or less.

A controllable packaging device (5) and a method relate to packaging compressed bales (6) on a baling press (2) with a bale-fixing element (11) and a multi-component bale envelope (7) including an upper part (8), a lower part (9) and optionally a sheath-type side part (10). The packaging device includes a fixing device (23) applying the bale-fixing element (11), a supply device (25) supplying the upper part and the lower part and optionally an envelope device (24) applying the side part to the compressed bales. The fixing device and optionally the envelope device are arranged on a transport apparatus (19) that travels along the compressed bale in an advancing direction (22). The supply device is arranged on the transport apparatus and supplies the upper part and the lower part with a supply movement oriented transversely to the advancing direction, from the outside into the baling press.

A system for wrapping a material in a baler includes a feed element for feeding the material through a feed path. A drive element intermittently drives the feed element. A linking element couples the drive element with the feed element. A tensioning lever operates to vary tension on the linking element to intermittently drive or not drive the feed element. A knife mechanism operates to intersect the feed path to cut the material. An actuator is engageable with the tensioning lever and with the knife mechanism. The actuator operates to move the tensioning lever and the knife mechanism independent of one another.
