Abstract
The invention relates to a round-bale press for compressing refuse into round bales and to such a method. The round-bale press according to the invention enables refuse to be compacted within a compressing chamber ( ). For this purpose, an endless belt ( ), which together with two side walls ( ) defines a compressing chamber ( ), is driven. A pivotably supported endless belt segment ( ) can be moved out of a refuse compressing position into a discharge position in such a way that the compressed round bale can be discharged from the compressing chamber ( ) via this endless belt segment ( ).
