ABSTRACT:
The apparatus forms and wraps fibrous bulk material or the like into bales and comprises bale forming apparatus for forming the material into an elongated continuous mass and plastic film wrapping apparatus. The bale forming apparatus has a bale-forming compartment with an infeed end and a discharge end, and material flow restricting apparatus located between the infeed and discharge ends for resisting the movement of the material. The wrapping apparatus in the form of a compressed bale wrapper that applies a sheet of plastic film around each bale while maintaining the bale in a compressed form. While the bale wrapper operates on discrete bales, separated from the elongated mass produced from the bale-forming means, the bale-forming means continues to produce an uninterrupted compressed mass of material. The bale wrapping system comprises a bale transfer compartment oriented in line with the bale-forming compartment and in communication with the bale-forming compartment discharge end for receiving the compacted mass of material, and a material flow resisting apparatus for resisting the movement of the mass of material from the bale-forming compartment into the bale transfer compartment so as to maintain the mass of material in the bale transfer compartment in a state of compaction, and a plastic film wrap-applying assembly for wrapping discrete bales in a sheet of plastic film, and bale transfer means for transferring discrete bales from the bale transfer compartment into the wrap-applying assembly.
