A baling press which is intended for the production of bound bales of predominantly non-metallic waste material and which comprises a pressing box and a pressing plunger which is movable to and fro in the pressing box, has its plunger provided with a binding comb which is movable relative to the plunger in the direction of pressing movement of the plunger. The binding comb comprises a plurality of plates which are mounted parallel to and spaced apart from one another, the plates being movable between a forward position in which they project beyond the pressing face of the plunger and form between them a plurality of grooves for the passage of binding wire in front of the plunger, and a retracted position in which their front edges form parts of the pressing face of the plunger. These plates are preferably guided in apertures in a front wall, which forms the pressing face, of the pressing plunger and the size and shape of the apertures corresponds to the cross-section of the front portions of the plates so that the front portions of the plates fit in the apertures and cause the front face of the plunger to be substantially uninterrupted when the plates are in their retracted position.

Baling presses for the production of bound bales

Apparatus for changing a filled container at an ejection opening of a refuse press for an empty container comprises two wheeled carriages which are mounted on rails and are movable by hydraulic rams, one to and fro transversely from side to side of the ejection opening and the other longitudinally towards and away from the ejection opening. Each of the carriages has container supports and the transverse carriage is in two parts one on each side of the longitudinal carriage and these two parts are rigidly interconnected by a bridge beam spanning the longitudinal carriage. The carriages are movable so that as the transverse carriage is moved in one direction, one part picks up an empty container from a stationary storage support and transfers it on to the longitudinal carriage and at the same time the other part of the transverse carriage picks up a filled container from the longitudinal carriage and transfers it to a second stationary storage support. The longitudinal carriage then moves to move the empty container into position for filling against the ejection opening of the press.
