A twine knotter arrangement for knotting twine to tie a bale, the twine knotter arrangement including: a twine knotter (1), a deflection roller (41) adjustable relative to the twine knotter (1), via which twine (42, 43) coming from the bale is deflected in the direction of the twine knotter (1), and an adjusting device (54) for adjusting the position of the deflection roller (41) in dependence on the force (F.sub.R) exerted by the twine (42, 43) on the deflection roller (41).

An improved silo bag extractor that can collect grain or other flowable materials contained therein. As the extractor empties the silo bag's contents into an accompanying grain cart, it simultaneously performs differentiated cuts on the bag, effectively dividing it in two bands of plastic that are directed to the left and right sides of the machine, where they wind tightly around roll-up assemblies equipped with consumable rigid plastic cores. On terminating grain extraction, the used plastic sheet takes the form of two very dense bales that can each weigh 100 kilos or more depending on the original size of the bag. These bales are then released from the machine automatically, proffering several advantages: not having to manually collect large swaths of plastic, not having to rewind the plastic on a second contraption and accomplishing lesser compaction in the process, easier storing and handling, and lower transportation costs to recycling centers.

A baling press having a rope tying system with a loop supply member for forming a loop of the second rope material across the bale pressing channel to the first side of the bale pressing channel and a loop of the first rope material at the first side. The loop supply member is suspended on the second side of said bale pressing channel and movable along a straight path between an extended position projecting across the bale pressing channel and a retracted position. The loop supply member has a turn guide for forming and guiding the loops in the first and second rope materials and a spreader for, when the loop supply member is in the extended position, holding the rope materials guided so that portions in the knotting area are spaced from a free end portion of the loop supply member.

The invention relates to a method for marking material bales (2), in which method a pressed material bale (2) is tied up by means of a binding device (22) using a binding material (4), and the binding device (22) produces at least one knot (6, 6a, 6b) in the binding material (4) wrapped around the material bale (2), wherein a label (8) is fixed to the binding material (4) as an information carrier. The label (8) is supplied to the binding device (22), and at least a part of the label (8) is incorporated into the knot (6, 6a, 6b).
