METHOD FOR PRESSING AND STRAPPING BALES OF MATERIAL IN A BALER, AND SUCH A BALER

摘要

The invention relates to a method for pressing and strapping bales (2) of material in a baler (1). The method comprises the steps of feeding the material into the baler (1) in a first direction, compressing the material into a bale (2) by means of a main press (7), transporting the bale (2) of material in a second direction to engage with a continuous strap (8) which in an initial position crosses the second direction in the baler (1), and moving the strap (8) in relation to the bale (2) to substantially enclose the bale (2). The method is characterised by the step of friction welding the strap (8) together to completely enclose the bale (2). The invention is also related to a baler (1) for pressing and strapping bales (2) of material.
