Bales are produced by a baler having a pressing passage of predetermined cross section and from which emerges a succession of the bales that travel rearward from the press passage over an output guide and fall off a rear edge of the guide from the baler. The density of these bales is determined by weighing each of the bales in the guide and producing a weight output corresponding to a weight of the bale in the guide and measuring the length of each of the bales in the guide and producing a length output corresponding to a length of the bale in the guide. Then the volume of each of the bales is calculated by multiplying the respective bale length output by an area equal to the cross section of the passage and each calculated volume is divided by the respective weight output to derive the density of the respective bale.

Bale-density measuring system for baler

Square bales are produced by a baler having a pressing passage from which emerges a succession of the bales that travel rearward from the press passage over an output chute and fall off a rear edge of the chute from the baler. The bales are weighed by continuously monitoring the downward force with which the bales bear on the chute rear edge, continuously calculating an average of the monitored force, establishing as an individual bale weight the calculated average each time it peaks before a bale drops from the chute rear edge, and storing the individual bale weights.
