Abstract
The instant application relates to a fiber bale and a method for producing the same. The instant fiber bale includes a highly compressed hexahedral fibrous material substantially free of disrupting curvatures on a top side or a bottom side. The highly compressed hexahedral fibrous material has a packing density of at least 300 kg/m. The method for producing a fiber bale according to instant invention includes the following steps: (1) providing a press for producing a highly compressed hexahedral fibrous material comprising at least one convex bale platen; (2) filling the press with the fibrous material; (3) pressing the fibrous material via the press; (4) thereby forming the highly compressed hexahedral fibrous material; (5) packaging the highly compressed hexahedral fibrous material with a wrapping material; and (6) securing the wrapping material thereby producing the fiber bale.
