DEVICE FOR COUPLING TO A CONTINUOUS CYCLE TYING PRESS FOR PRODUCING TIED, STRAPPED OR SACKED BALES, SYSTEM COMPRISING SAID DEVICE FOR COUPLING, AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING A CONTINUOUS CYCLE TYING PRESS INTO A SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING TIED, STRAPPED OR SACKED BALES

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) for to coupling to a continuous cycle bale tying press (27) for producing tied, strapped or sacked bales, comprising a press chamber (5) for receiving pressed product mass or bales coming from the bale tying press (27) and forming bales (B) from said pressed product mass. The press chamber comprises an inlet (20) for pressed product mass, a first gate (8), and a second height-adjustable gate (9) forming the ceiling of said press chamber (5). The device also comprises cutting means (19) for cutting the pressed product mass, an expulsion pre-chamber (6) adjacent to the press chamber (5), an outlet port (7) adjacent to the expulsion pre-chamber (6), expulsion means for expelling the bales (B) formed in the press chamber (5) towards the expulsion pre-chamber (6) and the outlet port (7), and fixing means (12) for fixing to the bale tying press (27).
