  • the invention relates to a device for building up and removing of a flat mass of material, in particular crops, in which the material is received at a collection station by a conveying and pressing device and is then conveyed to a storage location at which the mass of material is built against and supported by a rearwardly spaced wall.
  • Dried feed is brought after drying in the field into the barn, or other storing place, from which it is transported into the stable for feeding.
  • dried feed is either chopped in the field or on the farm yard and stored in chopped form.
  • a barn or other storage means having a roof is required which in most cases requires an expensive construction.
  • Furthennore, the stacking or piling according to this method is done in an expensive and complicated manner which has the result that the removing of the feed is also time and energy consuming.
  • silage feed is produced both in high silos and also in fiat silos.
  • the high silos are in most cases either constructed as massive structures, or as otherwise expensive constructions, and have many problems in the storing and removing of silo feed. These problems can be handled only by heavy manual labor or by the use of additional expensive devices.
  • the purpose of the invention is now to produce an economical method and one which is independent of any building, which can be used in many ways for building up and removing a flat mass of material and the device therefor.
  • This purpose is attained according to the invention in such a manner that the conveying and pressing device functions only to conduct the material to a point immediately adjacent thereto, hence operates only to build up the mass of material and hence the speed of movement of the conveying and pressing device, the amount and feeding of material and pressure in the mass of materials are adjusted to one another.
  • quantities of food can be produced in any length and can be stored side-by-side without requiring any buildings or silos.
  • the density required for the storage capability is obtained if the pressing density of the mass of food, the speed with which the mass is built up, the pressure in the mass and the amount fed thereto are adjusted to one another. This makes possible the selection of the proper amount of pressing desired for different types of food.
  • the device for performing the method of the invention is characterized in that the mass of food is first shaped by channel means which is arranged on a carriage or on sliding guides and at which the pressing members are provided and that at least at the remote end of the mass there is provided a boundary wall.
  • the support surface there is provided a solid base, for example a concrete plate, on which the carriage runs in guide rails for supporting the forming channel with the pressing members.
  • Each desired pressing density of the mass of food can be obtained according to one characteristic of the invention by making the speed of forward movement of the forming channel corresponding to the desired pressing of the mass of food regulatable with the help of an adjustable brake or by making the speed of forward movement of the forming channel controllable automatically by means of a stepless gearing or a stepping mechanism or the like.
  • a rolled or folded foil of plastic or the like is arranged on the forming channel which foil pulls off during the forming process from the forming channel and covers the mass of food from above.
  • crops are to be fermented to silage, then according to the invention during the formation of a silo-type food mass in the forming channel a correspondingly folded or rolled foil of plastic or the like is arranged, said foil being pulled off during the forming process from the forming channel and enclosing the mass of food in an airtight manner.
  • the mass of food can also be limited on both sides by sidewalls or supports.
  • the sidewalls can here, if necessary, be constructed with a corresponding upper covering also for heat insulation.
  • a feed fence movable on a carriage or on guides can be provided, with which feed fence the feeding takes place directly from the mass of food.
  • the feed fence will also have thereon means for folding or rolling up the cover foil.
  • a frame movable on rollers or the like which is provided with means for receiving, for example folding, the foil and in the case of a silage type of food mass has a covering at the removing end of the mass.
  • the frame is not needed if one rolls up the foil by hand.
  • the forming channel can consist of an entry zone which is open in upward direction, a pressing channel following thereafter and a mouthpiece connected to said pressing channel whereby in the forming channel one or more worms are arranged, same being inclined upwardly directed and partly projecting into the mouthpiece.
  • a force component which is directed in an upwardly inclined direction longitudinally of the worm and at the same time there is provided a horizontal force component.
  • the worms are constructed so that they have an inclination decreasing from the entry zone to the mouthpiece whereby at least a part of the last worm flight is reversely bent and the worm end ends in a conical tip.
  • the decreasing inclination a sufficient density of the material within the pressing channel is obtained that it reaches the mouthpiece prepressed and thus can be built up to a solidly compressed mass with a minimum of air pockets.
  • the reversely bent last portion of the worm flight effects a better distribution of the material entering into the mouthpiece.
  • the conical tip at the worm end takes care of the centering of the flexibly supported worm and reduces friction between worm end and pressed goods.
  • the worms are arranged in oppositely directed pairs whereby the walls enclosing the respective worms are interrupted between two adjacent worms rotating in feeding direction by an opening which is enlarged toward the worm end.
  • the slot-shaped opening in the wall between two worms each has the advantage that during conveying or pressing of long-fiber material nothing gets caught at the walls.
  • guide ribs having preferably a helical shape are provided at the walls of the pressing channel, same commencing at the entry end thereof.
  • the stored mass of food assumes a somewhat flat form in its airtight enclosure, for example, a tube. It is therefore advantageous if the mouthpiece is constructed such that its form corresponds approximately to the natural cross-section of the stored mass. Furthermore, the mouthpiece for receiving a plastic tube should be free on all sides and is provided with a projecting edge at its end and a tube holder positioned adjacent thereto so that during the filling of the the the material can slide from the mouthpiece freely and continuously.
  • the limit wall provided at the end has approximately an inclined and/or arcshaped form which corresponds to the natural form of the stored mass.
  • the plastic tube can be tied shut, rolled in or welded shut at the ends of the mass of material.
  • One or more ventilating pipes or relief pressure valves assure discharge of the excess pressure which forms during the fermentation.
  • the pressing device can also be constructed in such a manner that instead of arranging worms in the forming channel, one or more inclined and upwardly directed press plungers may be used.
  • the pressing device can be driven directly by an electric motor with a step-down gearing or by the tractor power take ofi shaft through a drive shaft if the speed reduction is chosen such that the rotational speed of the rotational speed of the output of the stepdown gearing corresponds to the rotational speed of the P.T.O. shaft of the tractor.
  • the drive can be effected by a hydraulic motor fed by the tractor hydraulic supply.
  • the pressing device can also be driven by the tractor P.T.O. shaft through a transmission gearing arranged on the harvesting wagon through which an additional drive or a second tractor is not required.
