ABSTRACT:
A bale press for compressing a bale of compressible material such as cotton is described. The bale press includes a base frame structure and a pair of platens which have generally rectangular bale compressing faces for compressing a cotton bale to facilitate the bale tieing operation. The platens are carried by the base frame structure so that they may be moved relatively toward a compression zone to compress a cotton bale sufficiently to enable the bale tie wires to be applied. A plurality of elongated, wedge-shaped, bale compression members are provided on at least one of the platens. These bale compression members protrude outwardly from the platen where they are mounted to provide a compression area which is sufficiently small so that the cotton bale is compressed only in close proximity to the positions where a single bale tie is to be placed. A sufficient number of bale compression members are provided to facilitate the application of the ties required for the bale. Through the use of such bale compression members, the overall horsepower required to operate the bale press may be significantly reduced.
