Definitions
- the invention relates to a packaging device and a packaging method having the features in the preamble of the method and device main claim.
- WO 88/09748 Al and DE 40 15 642 Al it is known to package a pressed bale within a baler and fix it by strapping.
- the packaging consists of a bottom foil and a cover foil, which are beaten and applied around the bale.
- a belly bandage can be attached.
- This foil packaging is located i.d.R. under the strapping.
- the packaging and strapping are applied at a time when the pressed bale is still under pressure from under a very high pressure of e.g. several hundred tons between press dies is clamped.
- Such pressed bales have a very high compression and tend after expansion to expand.
- the packaging and the fixation must be stable accordingly.
- the bale material is introduced into the stacked bags and compacted in the bags with high pressure.
- the bags are welded at the overlapping points in the area of the lower press ram.
- the pressed bales and the bag package are strapped.
- the packaging must take place within the baler.
- the sacks are adapted to the bale shape and consist of a dimensionally stable material, wherein for the filling and pressing process of a sack of compressed air must be inflated. It is an object of the present invention to show a better packaging technique.
- the invention solves this problem with the features in the method and device main claim.
- the claimed packaging technique with the overdrawing device and the Dehnhaube has the advantage that the packaging of the bale can be done after its fixation, for example by attaching a strapping.
- the shrink wrap with the expansion hood can thus take place either inside or outside a baling press.
- several balers may have one or more common packaging devices.
- the bales can be highly compressed and e.g. be compressed with pressing forces of several hundred tons.
- the prepared stretch hood is placed over the fixed bale and, due to the elastic properties of the hood material, it contracts close to the bale surface when shrinking.
- the expansion hood is clamped and, if necessary, reefed. It can then be placed over the bale with its bottom in front, being folded over and turned inside out and rolling on the bale. This is a particularly favorable investment technique.
- a possibly outer bottom seam can be brought by turning in a protected inner layer on the bale.
- the expansion hood can be shorter than the covered bale length, with the bale protruding through the opening of the expansion hood.
- the Dehnhaube can be outside on a fixation or strapping, which brings advantages in the subsequent opening of the packaging and the strapping with it and can prevent the high-pressure strapping bands.
- the pressed bales can be enclosed by means of one or more expansion hoods by a tightly sealed envelope. Due to the overlapping installation of the expansion hoods and a possibly. another Sectionumhüllung results in a tight against environmental influences Emballage or packaging of the press bale. An additional fixation of the one or more Dehnhauben with each other or on the bale can be dispensed with.
- the packaging technology has various economic advantages. On the one hand, the construction costs of the packaging device can be reduced compared to conventional constructions, whereby a maximum utilization of a packaging device provided for a plurality of balers can be achieved. In addition, cost-effective materials, in particular elastic polyethylene stretch films, which are cheaper than other packaging films, can be used for the stretch hoods.
- baling press a suitable device
- any material entrainment with a suitable cleaning technique for example by brushing, suction or the like. be removed.
- variety-specific ball carriers can be used.
- a particularly favorable possibility is the arrangement of a pre-packaging device in the baling area.
- a bottom foil can be applied, beaten laterally around a partial area of the press bale and then fixed with a strapping. The bottom foil prevents one
- the sub-cladding can already form a first essential part of the overall packaging, so that it can be sufficient to then attach only a Dehnhaube on the press bales, which overlaps the existing sub-cladding.
- the packaging device can a
- the packaging of a press bale with two expansion hoods which are applied eg on opposite sides of the bale and outside the fixation, has particular advantages.
- the overlap point of the Dehnhauben is particularly dense and protects the bale against external influences such as moisture, moisture, dust, etc. It can also fall out fibers or other small parts of the bale, which in particular prevents mixing of bale materials and purity of variety even during transport and the Storage of the packed bale guaranteed.
- the stretch hoods can very easily be removed separately and before fixing, without material residues of the packaging remaining on the pressed bale. As a result, contamination of the pressed bale material is excluded by the packaging material.
- the overdrawing device may first stretch an expansion hood to an excess and then slip over the press bale on at least three sides by overrunning the press bale and rolling off. When slipping over, the elastically shrinking stretch hood material lays tight against the bale surface.
- the Dehnhaube can be made within the packaging device of a film tube in a particularly cost-effective manner. This can be used to adapt to different
- the packaging technique according to the invention can be used in new balers or baling plants. It can also be retrofitted to existing baling presses and baling plants and exchanged for existing packaging equipment.
- the bale logistics can be converted to come from a press-tied bale wrapper to a central bale wrapper.
- the cost advantages associated with the packaging technology according to the invention carry the investment.
