Concepts of Operation
Sequence of Events
The Bale Band-It does not move until activated by an incoming bale. It will then perform a
series of operations that correspond to where the machine is at in the 21 bale process.
1. Bale 1 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 1.
2. Bale 2 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 2.
3. Bale 3 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 3.
a. Horizontal plunger pushes the 3 bales in stacking chamber, rearward into the main
chamber.
4. Bale 4 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 1.
5. Bale 5 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 2.
6. Bale 6 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 3.
a. Horizontal plunger pushes the 3 bales in stacking chamber, rearward into the main
chamber.
7. Bale 7 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 1.
8. Bale 8 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 2.
9. Bale 9 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 3.
a. Horizontal plunger pushes the 3 bales in stacking chamber, rearward into the main
chamber.
10. Bale 10 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 1.
11. Bale 11 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 2.
12. Bale 12 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 3.
a. Horizontal plunger pushes the 3 bales in stacking chamber, rearward into the main
chamber.
b. Back floor drops, lowering the previously made bundle of 21 small square bales to the
ground. The bundle then unloads with ground travel.
13. Bale 13 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 1.
14. Bale 14 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 2.
a. Back floor raises to horizontal position.
15. Bale 15 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 3.
a. Horizontal plunger pushes the 3 bales in stacking chamber, rearward into the main
chamber.
b. Back gates close.
16. Bale 16 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 1.
17. Bale 17 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 2.
18. Bale 18 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 3.
a. Horizontal plunger pushes the 3 bales in stacking chamber, rearward into the main
chamber.
19. Bale 19 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 1.
20. Bale 20 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 2.
21. Bale 21 loaded into stacking chamber at Bale Position 3.
a. Horizontal plunger pushes the 3 bales in stacking chamber, rearward into the main
chamber, and compresses the 21 bale bundle.
b. The bundle is tied with 2 steel bands
c. Back gates open, allowing exit of newly created bundle
22. Bale process starts over and repeats the sequence of events again.
Bundles are tied with steel bands on bale 21. Bundles are unloaded on bale 12 of the next bundle.
