Abstract
A method of binding pressed bales in a pressing channel of a baling press in which the ends of two wires which form the binding are fastened together by two twist connections which are spaced apart from each other comprises the improvement of the step of pulling back one of the two wires after the twist connections have been made and the wires have been severed between the two twist connections in such a way that as the next bale is pressed in the channel, the first twist connection lies at the front edge of a longitudinal face of the bale and a second twist connection, which is subsequently formed, lies at the rear edge of the same longitudinal face. A baling press for carrying out this method comprises a conventional pressing channel with a plunger together with a conventional device for forming the wire bindings around the bales as they are pressed, but this binding device incorporates the improvement comprising a pulling member which engages one of the wires and pulls this wire back after the two wires have been severed so that the twist connection between the two wires is then located in a position such that it comes into contact with the next bale to be pressed in the pressing channel at the front edge of a longitudinal face of the bale.
