ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for arranging fiber bales to form a first, operational bale row in preparation for detaching fiber tufts by a bale opener. The apparatus has a conveying device for receiving fiber bales thereon in a second, standby row; a transporting device for consecutively carrying fiber bales along the conveying device for forming the second row thereon such that a width of the fiber bales on the conveying device extends parallel to the advancing direction; a transfer device for separating a momentarily leading fiber bale of the second row at the output end of the conveying device from the fiber bales remaining thereon and for transferring the separated fiber bale to a location receiving the fiber bales of the first bale row; a device for determining the width and ranking of each fiber bale while on the transporting device or the conveying device; a device for generating signals representing the width and ranking; a memory for storing the signals; and a device for determining, based on the signals, the extent of feed for each bale from the conveying device to the transfer device.
