A round baler implement having a variable pressing chamber for producing cylindrical round bales, includes at least one circulating pressing belt and at least one sensor device for detecting tension in the pressing belt. The sensor device includes a pivoting device and a pick-up that is received on the pivoting device so as to be preloaded in the direction of the pressing belt such that it is in contact with the pressing belt. The sensor device further includes a deflector which pivots the pivoting device upon contact with the pressing means independently of the tension of the pressing means to detect a misalignment of the pressing belt and/or an unevenly forming bale.

A worm conveyor is proposed for a press, in particular an agricultural baler, having at least one roll, screw flights winding in opposing directions at least in some regions around the roll being provided on the peripheral surface thereof for conveying material, wherein the screw flights are configured such that they bring together the material in two collecting regions arranged outside a central region of the worm conveyor. A press, in particular an agricultural baler having at least one roller, a flexible pressing means winding around the roller and at least one worm conveyor are also proposed.

A baler for forming round bales includes a wrapping device for wrapping a pressed bale with a wrapping material, a pressing chamber where the pressed bale is formed, a guide apparatus for guiding wrapping material to the pressing chamber, and a guide means for guiding the wrapping material via a region from the wrapping device to the guide apparatus. The guide means is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the guide means substantially bridges the region between the wrapping device and the guide apparatus. In the second position, the guide means at least partially opens up the region therebetween.

Guide means, baler and method

An agricultural baler includes a frame, a pressing belt operable to form a pressed bale in a pressing chamber, and a wrapping device operable to supply a wrapping material. A guide is disposed adjacent to and extends along the pressing belt. The guide leads the wrapping material to the pressing chamber. The guide includes a front mount and a rear mount. The front mount and the rear mount attach the guide to the frame, and each includes a spring biasing the guide toward the pressing belt. The front mount and the rear mount are spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal axis of the frame.

Guiding device and baler

A scraper strip for a scraper device including at least one adjusting disk positioned in a recess of the scraper strip and rotatably attached to a scraper strip support, the adjusting disk comprising an eccentric guide track, which extends in a spiral shape or at least approximately as a circle involute, from a region at least close to a center point of the at least one adjusting disk in the direction of an edge region of the adjusting disk, and so as to linearly displace the scraper strip with respect to the scraper strip support of the scraper device when the adjusting disk is rotated. A fastener is accommodated by a groove extending substantially in a displacement direction of the scraper strip such that the scraper strip is displaced with respect to the fastener.

A baling roller for a round agricultural baler includes a roller body with a jacket surface, which encloses the circumference and the length of the roller body. Furthermore, radially extending elevations are located, on the jacket surface, over the circumference and the length of the roller body. In order to optimize the pressing effect of the baling roller, the elevations on the jacket surface have a greater radial extension on the end areas of the roller body than in an area of the roller body, lying between the end areas.

A wide pick-up for a baler includes a crop feed rotor and auger arrangement located at an elevated position rearward of a tined pick-up reel arrangement. Positioned for receiving crop delivered by the reel arrangement, and extending beneath the crop feed rotor and auger arrangement is a crop guide plate arrangement including a central movable crop guide plate portion mounted to be moved vertically between a raised feed position, wherein it is relatively close to a circular path traced by the outer peripheries of the crop feed rotor and the converging augers, and a lowered, crop unplugging position, wherein it is spaced to create a gap between the crop guide plate portion and the crop feed rotor and auger arrangement. Right and left, primary crop stripper plates are respectively mounted to right and left front end regions of the moveable crop feed plate portion, with the primary stripper plates each having an edge located close to the associated auger for preventing crop from being wrapped about the augers when the movable crop guide plate portion is in its normal raised operating position. Right and left secondary crop stripper plates are respectively mounted to right and left fixed walls extending upwardly about the augers from right and left fixed guide plate portions, these secondary stripper plates remaining in place to strip crop from the augers when the central movable crop guide plate portion is lowered.
