A round baler is provided with a bale-forming chamber that is surrounded by a pressing apparatus in the form of a single pressing belt or several pressing belts arranged one next to the other, wherein the pressing apparatus contacts a roller that can be driven and freely co-rotating rollers, of which at least one pre-tensioned roller is loaded by pre-tensioning apparatus in the sense of tightening the pressing apparatus such that it pre-tensions the pre-tensioned roller more strongly the farther this roller moves in a direction for loosening the pressing apparatus. The two ends of the pre-tensioned roller are each pre-tensioned by the pre-tensioning apparatus and can move independently of each other.

Round baler with apparatus for guiding a pressing belt

A round baler comprises a baling chamber which is surrounded by compression elements in the form of a single compression belt or a plurality of compression belts, the adjacent edges of which butt directly against one another. The compression elements rest on a drivable roll and freely running rolls and is guided laterally through lateral guides in the axial direction of at least one of the rolls. The lateral guides are arranged on both sides of the compression elements immediately upstream of a drivable roll with regard to the direction of movement of the compression elements which applies during the baling operation. They consist of discs which rotate in the plane of the compression elements, the discs having grooves into which the compression elements extends.
