Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a strapping device configured to carry out a strap-attachment check cycle. After attaching leading and trailing strap ends of a strap to one another to form a tensioned loop of strap around a load, the strapping device is configured to carry out the strap-attachment cycle to test the strength of the attachment between the leading and trailing strap ends and to provide feedback as to whether the strap attachment is satisfactory.

Described herein is an arrangement (1) for guiding a wire in a wire binding machine (3), wherein the arrangement (1) comprises a guide member (5) and a first spring (7) arranged to act with a first spring force against the guide member (5), wherein the guide member (5) is arranged to bear against the wire and act against the wire with said first spring force in order to guide the wire during a wire binding process when the wire moves relative to the guide member (5). The guide member (5) is arranged so that a movement of the guide member (5) substantially away from the wire is allowed in order to reduce friction forces between the guide member (5) and the wire during the wire binding process, so that locking of the wire against the guide member (5) is prevented. Also described herein is a wire binding machine (3) comprising an arrangement (1).

A packaging of compressed bales (1) includes packaging (11) surrounding the compressed bale. The compressed bale is formed from highly compressed, preferably short-cut, textile fibers and has mutually opposite pressing sides (5, 6), which are acted upon by a pressing device (32) in a pressing direction (10), and circumferential sides (7, 8), which are arranged between the pressing sides. The packaging has multipart film packaging (12) resting on the bale body (4) and first strapping (22) with a plurality of parallel endless bands (23) that are laid over the pressing sides of the compressed bale. An additional strapping (25) having a plurality of endless strapping bands (26, 27) are applied to the compressed bale. The strapping bands are laid peripherally only over the circumferential sides and are arranged externally on the film packaging and on the bands. The strapping bands cross the bands, forming cross strapping (21).

The invention concerns a device for strapping objects with a flat strap, consisting of a strap guide frame, a cover frame and an ejector. The strap guide frame has a flat strap channel that is open on a narrow side and the cover frame can be moved between a closed position and an open position relative to the strap guide frame. In the closed position, it covers the narrow side of the strap channel and in the open position, there is a gap. From a second side surface opposite of the open, narrow side, the ejector protrudes into the strap channel.

In order to realize a stable and cost-effective design, the ejector (14) is a flat component with two legs (23, 24) at an angle to one another, wherein the free end of the first leg (23) is mounted to the mounting element (21) and the free end of the second leg (24) protrudes, with little play, into a flat opening (18) that protrudes through the strap guide frame (9), extends across the strap channel (15) and has a height that is greater than the height of the strap channel (15) transverse to the plane of the strap.

A baling press for baling cotton gin trash and other particulate biomass feedstock. The baling press generally includes an infeed chute assembly, a compression ram assembly, an extrusion chamber assembly, a strapping storage and dispensing assembly, and a strapping insertion assembly. The present invention also relates to methods of producing a bale with the baling press and a bale generated by the baling press and described methods.

The disclosure relates to an automatic bundling tool device (ABT) for bundling a bundling good by means of a one-piece-tie (OPT). In an aspect, an ABT includes: a holding unit configured to receive, hold, and release a respective OPT which is provided to the ABT from an external reservoir of OPTs; a linear motion guiding unit configured to linearly guide the holding unit in a longitudinal direction while moving between a receiving position where the holding unit receives, during intended use, the respective OPT and a releasing position where the holding unit releases, during intended use, the respective OPT; and a drive unit configured to move the holding unit along the linear motion guiding unit.
