Abstract
A bale forming apparatus and a bale forming method form cylindrical bales. An intake device conveys material into a bale forming chamber. A bale is formed in the bale forming chamber. A bale pushing device pushes the bale onto a bale supporting construction being in a bale receiving position. This bale supporting construction buffers the bale. A pivoting mechanism pivots the bale supporting construction carrying the bale from the bale receiving position into a bale supporting position. The distance between the bale on the bale supporting construction and the outlet is increased. The creation of a further bale in the bale forming chamber is started. The bale supporting construction carrying the bale is pivoted from the bale supporting position into a bale ejecting position. The bale is ejected.
