Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dry air conveyance device for drying round forage bales.
  • cylindrical or parallelepipedal forage bales are currently very widespread in the haymaking sector.
  • Said cylindrical bales also known as round bales, are obtained by means of suitable presses which roll up the green forage when it is picked, allowing a considerable reduction in costs.
  • Said presses furthermore allow to appropriately differentiate the density of the forage inside the bale.
  • it is possible to provide higher density in the outer region, in order to have greater strength and waterproofing, and vice versa lower density in the inner core.
  • the forage is picked and baled with a relatively high degree of humidity which can vary according to the weather conditions, i.e. a degree which exceeds the value required for optimum preservation (approximately 20-25%).
  • High humidity causes the onset of fermentation processes which degrade the quality of the hay, reduce its nutritional value and also cause heavy losses in the amount of hay obtained.
  • known drying units substantially have a bed having modular plates provided with a central hole, at which the bale to be dried is placed.
  • a stream of warm air, produced by a centrifugal fan connected to the bed, is delivered through said hole.
  • the proposed solutions have not yielded fully satisfactory results.
  • the drying of the bale is significantly non-uniform, and thus entails the risk of fermentation effects, in the case of round bales having a relatively high degree of average humidity (for example more than 40%).
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above problem by providing a device for the conveyance of dry air which allows to obtain an optimum drying of round forage bales.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a conveyance device for drying round forage bales which is simple in concept, limited in bulk, safely reliable in operation and versatile in use.
  • the present device for the conveyance of dry air for drying round forage bales characterized in that it comprises a flattened chamber feedable with dry air and having, along the same axis, an upper air outlet and a lower air outlet, said chamber being intended to rest, on its opposite sides, against the lower and upper surfaces of respective stacked forage bales which are spaced by a plurality of said conveyance devices.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates the apparatus for drying round forage bales 2.
  • the apparatus 1 has a lower ventilation chamber 3 suitable to be fed with the dry warm air produced, in a known manner, by heating elements 4 provided with appropriate blower means.
  • the ventilation chamber 3 has, in a modular manner, a plurality of outlets 5 for the warm air; the outlets 5 have an edge which protrudes with respect to the plane of the chamber 3.
  • a plurality of conveyance devices 6 for the dry and warm air are arranged at each one of the outlets 5 of the chamber 3 so that said devices are mutually superimposed and parallel.
  • the conveyance devices 6 respectively have an upper outlet 7 and a lower outlet 8 which are coaxial, in the assembled position, to the underlying outlet 5 of the chamber 3.
  • the conveyance devices 6 are fed in parallel by means of a duct 9 extending vertically from the lower ventilation chamber 3.
  • each conveyance device 6 is constituted essentially by a chamber 10 having a flattened shape and has, on one side, a coupling 11 for connection to the duct 9 for the delivery of the warm, dry air.
  • the chamber 10 has, on its opposite faces, along the same axis, the air outlets 7 and 8; said outlets 7 and 8 similarly have a circular edge 12 which protrudes with respect to the respective face of the chamber 10.
  • outlets 5 of the ventilation chamber 3 are substantially equivalent, from a functional and constructive point of view, to the upper outlets 7 of the conveyance devices 6.
  • each conveyance device 6 is intended to rest, on opposite sides, against the upper surface and the lower surface of respective forage bales 2 which are arranged in a stack and are spaced by a plurality of said conveyance devices. It is thus possible to deliver the dry air from the outlets 7 and 8 of the conveyance devices 6 to both ends of the forage bales 2.
  • the facing surfaces of the chambers 10 of the conveyance devices prevent the escape of the drying air from both of the resting bases of the stacked bales 2.
  • the same result is obviously obtained both with cylindrical forage bales and with parallelepipedal ones.
  • the conveyance device 6 furthermore allows mutual spacing between the stacked forage bales 2 in order to create a compression chamber whose pressure is constantly equal to that of the lower ventilation chamber 3.
  • the conveyance device is therefore isobaric.
  • the conveyance devices are sized so that the airflows of drying air substantially follow paths of equal length, so as to provide the uniform distribution of the warm and dry air in the mass of the bale.
  • a stack of soft-core cylindrical bales behaves essentially like a tube whose lateral surface is permeable and through which the drying air escapes uniformly. It is noted that the layer crossed by the air has a limited extent and that the pressure is substantially constant along the axis of the stack of forage bales.
  • the described isobaric conveyance device allows to optimally dry round bales of forage picked humid (even with a degree of humidity of over 40-50%), ensuring uniformity in drying (18-20% of relative humidity) or dehydration (10% of relative humidity).
  • the difference in uniformity inside the bales is reduced by at least 50% with respect to the conventional method.
  • conveyance devices according to the invention allow to dry the bales in multiple superimposed layers, with a drastic reduction in the space required by the apparatus. This reduced bulk furthermore allows the conveyance devices to be employed on mobile structures.
  • the isobaric conveyance device finally allows to avoid wastes of energy, since the drying action may be performed only for the time actually required and there are no leaks of warm and dry air between the bases of the bales and said conveyance devices.
  • the materials employed, as well as the shapes and dimensions, may be any according to the requirements.
