ABSTRACT:
The disclosed packaging invention provides gentle article handling to protect the integrity of thin film wrapping. A turnable roll-off wrapping table tilts and discharges the wrapped article in combination with means for lowering the height of a roll-off article platform or holder on the table as it is tilted such that wrapped article discharge is performed at a reduced discharge height. The reduced wrapped article discharge height is low enough to discharge a large wrapped bale of silage gently to the ground. In one aspect, the large wrapped bale is discharged at a height of less than about 20 inches and at a specified discharge tilt angle from the vertical of about 47 degrees, plus or minus about 5 degrees.
Rollers positioned on a front end of the turnable roll-off wrapping table and at least one profile hinge, connected to the rear end of the wrapping table and at its other end to the chassis frame, lower the rear end of a wrapping platform as the wrapping platform extends and tilts along the chassis frame. A stop block positioned at a specified table extension distance redirects the lateral extension of the turnable roll-off wrapping table along the chassis through an increased tilting rate. A stop limit securing hook secures the retracted turnable roll-off wrapping table on the chassis and incudes an automatic lock on the stop limit hook. Automatic cut and hold means provide for cutting wrapping material at the specified tilting angle.
