A baling assembly can include a housing defining an interior, an access panel coupled to the housing and providing selective access to the interior, a baling chamber within the housing, and a ram adjacent the baling chamber. The ram includes a movable wall and a driving mechanism operably coupled to the movable wall for compression of material within the baling chamber.

A lumber stacking and strapping system can provide a single-station solution for both lumber stacking and package strapping. In addition, the package strapping system may apply multiple straps simultaneously to the package. For example, a package stacking and strapping system can provide not only a mechanism for formulating a package of lumber one layer at a time, but also a mechanism for lowering a completed package directly into a compression and strapping station, such as using the lumber stacker package accumulation hoist. The stacking and strapping system can then simultaneously apply strapping around the package in multiple positions along the length of the package, with bottom battens and top corner protectors further supplied and strapped into place as desired. A method for stacking and strapping a package in a single location is also provided.

A flat-packing machine for producing a package of compressed innerspring units comprises a press device having a first pressing tool and a second pressing tool. The press device is configured to compress an innerspring unit between the first pressing tool and the second pressing tool while one of the first pressing tool and the second pressing tool holds one or more further previously compressed innerspring units in a compressed state.

A strapping device for strapping packages, having a packing table on which the package passes through the strapping device along a movement path, having a strapping frame, having a rotation device in the packing table, having a strapping channel which is formed by the strapping frame, and having closure flaps which close a channel opening of the channel member which is arranged in the packing table.

A metal coil compression device includes: a lifting device configured to generate a vertically downward pressing force; a cylindrical outer pressure barrel that is supported by the lifting device; a cylindrical inner pressure barrel that is located inside a peripheral wall of the outer pressure barrel; and a connecting mechanism that connects the inner and outer pressure barrels so that the inner and outer pressure barrels are vertically engaged and are supported relatively rotatably in a circumferential direction. The outer pressure barrel has an outer recess being recessed vertically upward from a bottom end. The inner pressure barrel has an inner recess in a peripheral wall of the inner pressure barrel, the inner recess being recessed vertically upward from a bottom end, and a coil pressing surface that makes contact with a top of the metal coil to transmit the vertically downward pressing force to the metal coil.

The invention discloses a gasket placement mechanism for a high speed wire rod baling machine and a related gasket structure. The baling machine comprises two pressing plates (2) reciprocating in the direction of compression, and filing-prevention disks (25) which are in a circular shape and have a certain thickness are fixed on two opposite compression surfaces of the pressing plates. Four diagonals of the pressing plates along with the filing-prevention disks are provided with four wire grooves (18) banding steel wires, and four diagonals of the pressing plates are respectively provided with conveying rollers (16) and gasket rolls (17). A numerical control motor drives the conveying rollers to rotate so as to drive the gasket rolls to be unfolded horizontally, and the unfolded gaskets (14) penetrate through a channel formed by the filing-prevention disks to reach the position of the wire grooves of the pressing plates. The gaskets are in a parallelogram shape or a long and narrow rectangle shape, and the adjacent gaskets are connected by means of the hypotenuses or long edges; sawtooth holes (14c) or line-like concave indentations are provided; conveying tooth holes (14a) are provided at the corresponding unfolded positions of the gasket rollers. The gasket placement mechanism achieves the mechanization and automation for gasket placement, specialized production of the gasket is facilitated, and operating efficiency is improved.
