Definitions
- the field of the invention relates to the baling of paper products, such as paper, paperboard, cardboard, and the like, wherein the product is compressed into a parcel in a series of layers, and is subsequently confined by baling straps disposed in a direction transverse to the general plane of the parcel layers.
- Large capacity paper baling apparatus capable of producing relatively large, high-density bales, are usually either of two types, vertical or horizontal.
- Vertical baling equipment employs a compression chamber through which a vertically moving ram or compression head is translated.
- Horizontal balers employ a horizontally moving compression ram, and the invention is directed to this latter type in view of the advantages possible with respect to automatic loading, automatic strapping, and the ability to bale large quantities of paper with a minimum of manpower.
- Conventional horizontal balers such as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,212,434, include an elongated, open end, horizontal chamber into which the material to be compressed is introduced.
- Compression means in the form of a ram reciprocates with the receiving chamber to force the paper products being compressed into and through the compression chamber.
- the compression chamber is shaped such that the resistance of movement of the paper through the chamber produces a sufficient compression and density.
- a predetermined portion of the compressed material is strapped as it periodically moves through the final stage of the compression chamber.
- dividers are periodically inserted into for inserting paper being compressed wherein the bale straps or wire may be inserted through the compressed material via the dividers.
- a disadvantage of this type apparatus lies in the necessity for inserting the dividers, and handling the same, and, additionally, automatic-strapping apparatus cannot be readily employed with this type of baler in that the compressed parcel is intermittently moving as it is being strapped.
- baling apparatus Although large capacity baling apparatus has been previously manufactured, this type of apparatus has not heretofore successfully adapted itself to automatic-strapping equipment, and horizontal baling apparatus such as previously described, does not lend itself to available strapping devices.
- baling apparatus of both the vertical and horizontal type usually requires that the paper products introduced therein be previously shredded or comminuted in order to effectively handle the product and produce the desired density. This preliminary operation prior to baling is expensive and troublesome, and a baler capable of being directly supplied without preprocessing the paper has long been desired.
- balers of both the vertical and horizontal type require several operators in order to achieve the maximum capacity of the baler. These balers were, at the best, only partially automatic in operation and the cycle of operation of known balers does not lend itself to automatic operation. In particular, loading of the baler, and the tying of the bale, are operations which, in the past, required individual attention by the operators.
- the invention pertains to automatic horizontal baling apparatus forpaper products which is capable of baling large quantities of paper in a relatively short time with a minimum of labor, supervision and maintenance. Additionally, the invention is directed to the method of baling paper products wherein the paper is compressed in a first direction by a series ofcycles of a ram wherein a compressed parcel is formed having a plurality of substantially parallel layers perpendicularly disposed to the direction of compression. Thereupon, the method of the invention transfers the compressed particle in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of the parcel layers, and includes the step of strapping or tying the compressed parcel as it is transferred in the direction parallel to the plane of the dividedled layers.
- the baler includes a gatherer chamber directly communicating with a hopper into which the paper product to be baled is continuously introduced.
- the gatherer and compressor ram which moves through the gatherer chamber includes a cover plate upon which the paper product introduced into the hopper is supported as the ram extends, and as the ram retracts, the paper resting thereupon is wiped into the gatherer chamber.
- a unique feature of the invention lies in the utilization of shearing means located on the gatherer and compression ram head, and adjacent one end of the gatherer chamber at the entrance to the compression chamber, such that paper products partially disposed within the gatherer chamber and the hopper are sheared prior to the paper being introduced into the compression chamber, and due to the presence of the shearing means the continual feeding of the bulk and unshredded paper into the hopper does not impede the gatherer ram movement.
- the compression chamber includes an ejector or transfer ram which transfers the compressed parcel, while under compression, from the compression chamber into automatic strapping means for strapping the compressed parcel to form a bale.
- the movement of the transfer ram is intermittent, and strapping occurs while the movement of the compressed parcel by the transfer ram is interrupted.
- the intermittent transferring of the compressed parcel is automatically controlled, and during the transfer and strapping operation, the gatherer ram remains in a modified extended condition such that paper being introduced into the hopper will rest upon the gatherer ram cover plate and be wiped into the gatherer chamber during the initial retraction cycle of the gatherer rarn after strapping.
- the compression chamber includes a discharge opening in opposed relation to the transfer ram, and this opening will be closed" by the previously transferred, and at least partially strapped bale.
- the presence of the previously transferred bale sufiiciently closes the compression chamber discharge opening to permit an efficient compression and shaping in the com pression chamber during the next parcel compression.
- parcel retaining means maintains the configuration and compression of the parcel, and strapping of the parcel occurs immediately upon the compressed paper leaving the parcel retainer.
- Another of the unique features of the invention lies in the fact that during the final stage of compression of the parcel,
- the parcel is compressed to a greater extent than is desired in the strapped bale.
- the gatherer ram is slightly retracted to reduce the compression on the parcel prior to its being transferred to the strapper. In this manner the power requirement for transferring the parcel is reduced, and an improved bale is produced in that the likelihood of strap breakage is minimized.
- the horizontal disposition of the gatherer and compression chamber permits a very large opening into the gatherer chamber, and a corresponding large entrance into the hopper, and thus the apparatus is able to receive unshredded paper, cardboard, and the like, without clogging.
- This feature in conjunction with the shear means located on the gatherer and compression ram head, eliminates many of the leading problems present in conventional paper-baling apparatus, and the increased size of the apparatus with respect to known devices also permits the formation of a large bale which is more economically handled than the more common smaller bales.
- Balers constructed in accord with the inventive concepts are capable of producing higher baling capacities as compared with balers presently available, while significantly reducing the manpower requirements.
- the automatic operation of the baler permits the baler to be operated from a central control center, and the construction and layout of the apparatus facilitates servicing and maintenance.
- the orientation of the hopper with respect to the apparatus permits the introduction of paper products into the hopper to be accomplished by a conveyor belt, bulldozing, or other low-cost material handling techniques.

- Limit switch LSG indicates the position of the gatherer ram when the transfer ram is energized to transfer the compressed parcel from the compression chamber into the discharge opening, and through the strapper.
- Limit switch LSER is employed with the transfer ram to indicate complete retraction thereof.
- Switch LSEC indicates the position of the traverse ram when the strapping cycle begins, and limit switch LSEF indicates the full extension of the traverse ram.
- the gatherer ram piston 44 will be fully retracted, as will the transfer ram piston 80, and the strapping apparatus will be in a deenergized state.
- the pump motor 68 and the other motors previously described, such as the recirculating and strapper motors paper products are then introduced into the hopper 24 from a location above the hopper.
- An endless conveyor may be used for this purpose, or if the baler apparatus is mounted in a pit, or at a location below a floor surface, the paper products may be bulldozed or otherwise transferred into the hopper.
- paper products may be continually introduced into the hopper, and upon the paper products being supplied to the apparatus the automatic run switch 176 may be energized to begin the reciprocation of the gatherer ram 40. If desired, the operator may defer initiation of the gatherer ram movement until the gatherer chamber 12 has been substantially filled. Upon the operator initiating the cycling of the gatherer ram, the solenoids GF and D will be energized which produces an actuation in the valves 144 and 148, respectively, to permit pressurized fluid to be introduced into the left, or pressurized side of the gatherer ram piston; FIG. 8, which causes the gatherer ram and head to move towards the compression chamber 30.
- valves 136 and 146 are positioned such that fluid being exhausted from the piston rod side of the gatherer ram is introduced into the pressurized side of the piston.
- This utilization of the hydraulic fluid exhausted from the piston rod side of the gatherer ram constitutes a regeneration cycle which permits a maximum amount of pressurized fluid to be introduced into the pressurized side of the gatherer ram such that an initial rapid movement of the ram is possible.
- the conduit 122 will be supplied from both pump stages 106 and 110.
- the resistance to movement becomes great enough to cause a fluid pressure within the supply conduit to approximately reach 1,000 pounds p.s.i., such a condition is sensed by the pressure switch 142 which then opens and deenergizes solenoid D which causes the valve 146 to shift and terminate the regeneration cycle by exhausting the fluid on the piston rod side of the gather ram to the reservoir.
- the gatherer ram piston then continues to compress the material within the compression chamber 30.
- Completion of the first stroke of the gather ram is sensed by the limit switch LSGC located adjacent the entrance to compression chamber 30. Closing of the limit switch LSGC will energize relay GRR and deenergize relay GFRT thereby energizing solenoid GB and deenergizing solenoid GF. This sequence permits pressurized fluid to be introduced into the piston rod end of the gatherer ram and retract the ram. The compressed paper material will remain within the compression chamber 30 when the gatherer ram is retracted.
- Retraction of the gatherer ram 40 is sensed by the limit switch LSGB.
- the actuation of the limit switch LSGB will cause an actuation of the relay GFRT which will reenergize the solenoids GF and D and condition the circuit to again move the gatherer ram toward the compression chamber.
- the gatherer ram is cycled between its extended and retracted positions, and during this cycling the paper products to be compressed continue to be introduced into the hopper.
- paper introduced into the hopper will either fall directly into the gatherer chamber 12, or reset upon the ram cover plate 50. The paper resting upon the cover plate is wiped from the cover plate by wall 64 as the ram retracts, and falls into the gatherer chamber.
- the final stroke of the gatherer ram is determined by pres sure switch 140 which indicates the presence of sufficient paper material within the compression chamber to produce a bale of the density and dimension desired.
- the. gatherer ram continues forward until timed relay PSRT times out.
- solenoid BR is energized and the gatherer ram head 46 retracts to limit switch LSG located adjacent the entrance to the compression chamber.
- This retraction of the gatherer ram amounts to approximately 3%" from the maximum extension of the head 46, and by retracting the gatherer ram this extent, the compression pressures on the paper parcel within the compression chamber are reduced permitting the transfer ram to be of a smaller size than would otherwise be required, and produces a more desirable transfer motion.
- the release of the overcompression" of the compressed parcel within the compression chamber minimizes the likelihood of damage to the bale straps during handling of the bales.
- Limit switch LSG senses the appropriate time for operation of the transfer ram 74. Limit switch LSG is maintained actuated during the duration of the overtravel by the gatherer ram. Upon the release of limit switch LSG, timed relay EFRT is energized, solenoid EF is energized and the transfer ram 74 receives pressurized fluid to extend the piston and translate the head 82 across the compression chamber in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the gatherer ram. As the transfer ram piston extends, the head 82 begins pushing the compressed paper parcel within the compression chamber through the discharge opening 36 in an intermittent manner into the parcel retaining passage 88. The parcel is automatically strapped by the strapper as the intermittent movement of the transfer ram moves the compressed parcel through the strapping apparatus.
- relay EFRT Upon the release of limit switch LSG relay EFRT is energized which begins the movement of the forward motion of the transfer ram.
- Relay AST which signals the automaticstrapping cycle, is energized and the transfer rarn moves forward for a predetermined time under the influence of the timed contact of relay EFl'Z. After the predetermined timed movement of the transfer ram, the ram movement ceases and the strapper cycle places a strap around the bale in alignment with track 92. This intermittent movement of the transfer ram takes place until limit LSEF is engaged before EFT 2 times out and each time the transfer ram movement ceases the strapper cycle is energized to place a strap around the bale.
- the length of movement of the transfer ram head 82 during each indexing movement will usually be approximately 12 inches, in that this spacing between baling straps 226, FIG. 7, is adequate for most paper products.
- the track 92 lies in a plane that is sub stantially perpendicular to the plane of the layers defined in the compressed parcel and, thus, the straps 226 will most effectively retain the compression of the material fonning the bale. As the strapped bales are pushed on to the platfonn they are removed as strapping for each bale is completed. in the described machine, a bale will be completely strapped when the transfer head pushing on the following bale is substantially halfway across the compression chamber 30.
- Limit switch LSEF will sense the full extension of the transfer ram 74, and the limit switch LSEF will automatically return the transfer ram to its fully retracted position.
- Limit switch LSER will sense the retracted condition of the transfer ram and signal the gatherer ram 40 to retract, and limit switch LSGB will sense the retracted condition of the compression ram and begin a new cycle of operation.
- the compressed parcel of paper products within the compression chamber 30 consist of a plurality of layers. These layers are disposed substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the transfer ram as it moves across the compression chamber and pushes the compressed parcel into the strapping apparatus 90.
- the compressed parcel is formed by compressing in one direction, and transferred by a force perpendicularly disposed on the compression force.
- This perpendicular application of force to the compressed parcel is considered unique to paper baling, and is considered to have the advantage of permitting the compressed parcel to be readily confined within the passage 88 for strapping purposes. Additionally, the movement of the gatherer and transfer rams at right angles to each other substantially reduces the time required for baling and typing a bale as compared with available equipment. In the commercial embodiment of the invention a complete baling cycle is approximately 180 seconds.
- the paper products compressed into the compression chamber will tend to partially extend from the discharge opening as the compressed parcel is formed.
- the parcel will form in the described manner, and upon indexing the transfer ram 74 across the compression chamber, strapping of the bale occurs as described.
- the end of the first parcel initially received within the strapping apparatus will be rather indefinitely defined due to the lack of confinement of the compressed material adjacent the discharge opening.
- the end" of the previously formed partially strapped parcel is located in the compression chamber discharge opening, and seals the same during formation of the next compressed parcel, and thus the end of the previously formed parcel will form the wall" of the compression chamber at the discharge opening thereof.
