A baler includes a body, and a wrap system that is attached to the body. The wrap system is operable to support a roll of wrap material in an installed position. A cover is attached to the body, and is moveable between an open position and a closed position. When in open position, the cover provides access to the wrap system from an exterior location. When in the closed position, the cover encloses the wrap system from the exterior location. The baler includes a lift system attached to the body. The lift system is concealed between the body and the cover when the cover is disposed in the closed position. The lift system is positioned below the cover when the cover is disposed in the open position. The lift system raises the roll of wrap material into the installed position.

A bale wrap mechanism including a frame including a wrap chute formed from one or more perimeter walls, where the wrap chute includes a wrap axis extending longitudinally therethrough, and where the one or more perimeter walls at least partially define a passageway, a first rail fixedly coupled to the frame, a first shuttle movable along the length of the first rail, where the first shuttle includes a second rail that is transverse to the first rail, a second shuttle movable along the length of the second rail, wherein the second shuttle includes a mounting point, and a shaft coupled to the mounting point, where the shaft is configured to rotatably support the roll of wrap material thereon, and where the shaft is configured to travel along a wrap path during a wrapping process, where the wrap path surrounds the passageway, and where the wrap path is non-circular in shape.

A cover for a round bale feeder having a top wall joined to an uppermost edge of a side wall by a perimeter weld. A pocket, sized and shaped to hold a strap for a ratchet-strap assembly, is formed in a lowermost edged of the side wall. At least one access hole is formed into the pocket to allow access to the ratchet-strap assembly, and in some embodiments, two or more additional access holes allow the strap to be more easily positioned inside the pocket. The cover is sized and shaped so as to cover a ring-style or a cradle-style feeder holding a round bale, with the side wall extending downwards to cover a side of the bale feeder such that the pocket is positioned below the round bale to protect the bale from environmental moisture. An optional flap covering the access hole is present in some embodiments.

A wrapping apparatus and A wrapping method are provide to wrap an object in a chamber into a web of wrapping material. The web is moved from a reservoir outside of the chamber. A tag applicator applies a tag on the web in an application position which is between a wrapping material reservoir and a wrapping material inlet. A tag reader monitors whether or not a tag is conveyed in the chamber along the tag reader. If no tag is detected, an alert is generated that the object is not properly wrapped.

A filling device (3) and a filling method for fibrous material (6) on a bale press (1). The filling device (3) is arranged between a fiber supply (2) and a pressing device (5) of the bale press and comprises a collecting chamber (9) for the fibrous material (6) with a supply opening (16) as well as a discharge opening (17) with a controllable closure (18). A driven slide (25) of an integrated precompression device (4) is movable in a reversing manner between the openings (16, 17), which precompresses the collected fibrous material in one or more stages in the collection chamber (9) before collected fibrous material is transferred to the pressing device.

A bale bagging apparatus and method are provided. The bale bagging apparatus includes a bale feeding station, a bale chute, a bale bagging station, and a transportation system that transports a bale to be bagged from the bale feeding station through the bale chute and into the bale bagging station. The bale bagging station includes a bag receptacle, a first opening, and a bag retrieval assembly. The bag receptacle is positioned on a side opposite of the first opening from the side of the first opening on which the bale to be bagged is to be transported. The bag retrieval assembly retrieves a bag from the bag receptacle through the first opening. The bag retrieval assembly positions a first end of said bag around at least a portion of the bale chute before the bale to be bagged is transported through the bale chute by the transportation system.

A baler includes a body, and a wrap system that is attached to the body. The wrap system is operable to support a roll of wrap material in an installed position. A cover is attached to the body, and is moveable between an open position and a closed position. When in open position, the cover provides access to the wrap system from an exterior location. When in the closed position, the cover encloses the wrap system from the exterior location. The baler includes a lift system attached to one of the body and the cover. The lift system is concealed between the body and the cover when the cover is disposed in the closed position. The lift system is positioned below the cover when the cover is disposed in the open position. The lift system raises the roll of wrap material into the installed position.

The present disclosure is directed to an insulation packaging system. The insulation packaging system includes a plurality of insulation packages with first ends and second ends. The plurality of insulation packages defining an axis. A first film wraps around the axis to compress and couple the plurality of insulation packages together, while a second film wraps around the first and second ends of the plurality of insulation packages. The first and second films are different films.

The invention relates to a method for pressing bales of material in a baler. The method comprises the steps of feeding the material into the baler through an inlet, pre-compressing the material under a number of compressing cycles by means of a first press, transporting the pre-compressed material by means of a transport unit into a second press, and compressing the pre-compressed material by means of the second press into a finished bale of compressed material. The method is characterised in that the step of transporting the pre-compressed material by means of a transport unit into a second press is conducted in a space of the baler, such that an undesirable expansion of the pre-compressed material can be prevented. The invention is also related to a baler for pressing bales of material.

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.
