Abstract
A baling press for pressing waste materials such as refuse into bales comprises a pressing box, a filler shaft for feeding waste material to be pressed from above into the pressing box and a plunger having a driving mechanism for moving it laterally into the pressing box to press material in the box. An inclined material inlet chute leads into the filler shaft and a material preparation device for loosening or separating the waste material is provided at the bottom of the chute; the preparation device comprises a rotor having shredding teeth for engaging waste material from the chute and the rotor is mounted to rotate about a stationary horizontal axis which extends across the bottom of the chute. The rotor is driven in a direction such that the shredding teeth of the rotor move upwardly adjacent the chute. Preferably the chute is adjustable in position to enable it to be moved bodily or to be pivoted upwards and downwards so that the position at which an imaginary extension of the chute intersects the rotor can be adjusted.
