The invention relates to a stuffing box seal to provide a sealing action between a stationary wall of a housing or the like and a shaft. In accordance with the invention the shaft is provided with a collar, or with a ring or ring flange, which is sealingly connected with the shaft and is such a manner as to prevent relative twist, having an annular surface perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the shaft, against which ring surface box packing bears with a sealing action in the direction parallel to the shaft axis.

Stuffing box seal

Provided is a frame with a plurality of swivel arms which supports a plurality of stops. Through the stop that is nearer to an upper preceding bale conveyer, a wastepaper bale proceeds onto a following lower support surface is such a way that wire laps surrounding the wastepaper bale are in a horizontal position. Through a second, following stop, rotation of the bale may take place as it drops from the first bale conveyor onto the following support surface, without causing the wastepaper bale to turn or topple so far that the wire laps will again have the same direction which they had on the first bale conveyor. This assures that in a following tie wire removal station, for example, the laps of the tie wires will always have the same alignment irrespective of the position of the wastepaper bales on the first conveyer belt.
