Abstract

An apparatus and a method for forming a bale from loose material are disclosed. A feeder feeds loose material to a bale former. The bale former forms a bale from loose material. A feeding-side output shaft drives the feeder. A forming-side output shaft drives the bale former. An input shaft drives both output shafts. A torque measuring arrangement measures a value indicative of the input torque provided by the input shaft. If the input torque value exceeds a given torque threshold, a control unit triggers the bale former for reducing the torque consumption taken from the forming-side output shaft.
