Round baler with movable follower rolls

A bale chamber of an agricultural round baler. The bale chamber includes a main frame, a plurality of rollers, and at least one belt engaging with at least one roller of the plurality of rollers. The at least one belt and the plurality of rollers are together configured for creating a round circulating chamber. The bale chamber also includes a subframe movably connected to the main frame and at least one follower roller pivotally connected to the subframe at a first pivot axis. The at least one follower roller engages with the at least one belt. The subframe is configured for moving during formation of the bale so that the at least one follower roller moves in between a first position at the empty bale position of the circulating chamber and a second position at the full bale position of the circulating chamber.

Pressing means guiding device and press

A press guiding device for a baler includes at least one continuous pressing device, at least two pressing segments, and at least one guiding device arranged at least partially between the pressing segments. The at least one guiding device is supported in a rotationally secure manner at or on a common axle with a roller.

WRAP MATERIAL GUIDE PAN FOR ROUND BALER

Disclosed herein is a wrap material feed system of a round baler for forming crop material into a cylindrical bale. The wrap material feed system comprises a first roller, a second roller, a bale formation belt, and a feed pan oriented from a first end adjacent the first roller to a second end adjacent the second roller and a feed pan positioning mechanism oriented to bias the feed pan into engagement with each of the first and second rollers and the bale formation belt. The feed pan comprises one or more runners, at least one guide plate, one or more skid plates, and one or more fasteners comprising a fastener head. The fastener head is positioned at the second end such that a vector representing a first normal force at the second roller intersects the fastener head.

Net guide for upper rollers of round baler
11617307 · 2023-04-04 · ·

A round baler includes a first roller and a second roller that define a gap therebetween and are arranged to position forming belts immediately adjacent to a baling chamber. A third roller is arranged to position the forming belts radially outward of the baling chamber. The forming belts move along a belt path in sequence from the first roller, to the third roller, and then to the second roller, such that the baling chamber is not bounded by the forming belts in the gap between the first roller and the second roller. A net guide is radially supported by both the first roller and the second roller and laterally positioned between an adjacent pair of the forming belts. The net guide extends across the gap to guide a net material across the gap and prevent the net material from following the forming belts away from the baling chamber.

ROUND BALER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A ROUND BALER

A round baler and a method for operating a round baler are disclosed. The round baler has a variable diameter and is bounded by an endlessly rotating pressing means. The pressing means is guided by a plurality of rollers, wherein a loop of the pressing means is guided by a first clamping arm mounted on the housing side and by a second clamping arm mounted on the housing side. The first and second clamping arms are adjusted by actuators so that at least one compaction pressure is generated with which the pressing means acts to form a round bale. A control unit automatically controls the actuators depending on a compaction power curve, accounting for operating parameters and/or environmental parameters of the round baler, thereby maintaining a substantially stable operating point during the shaping process, in which the required compaction power and the available drive power are substantially equal.
