SELF-LOADING BALE WRAPPER
SPRINTER 1500
5.3.3 Bale tipper (unloading)
The bale tipper is designed for capturing and unloading bales safely in one of the two possible positions.
The method of switching the unloading positions is described in Section 6.4.
Figure 9 Components of the bale tipper
(1) outer frame, (2) cradle frame, (3) adjustable arm, (4) foot plate, (5) actuator, (6) cradle rotation pin, (7) moving cradle,
(8) tipper hinge pins
The bale tipper consists of an outer frame (1) and an inner cradle (2) fixed with pins (8) to the rear beam
in the bottom frame. The actuator (5), automatically activated when the bale is unloaded from the rotary
frame, moves the cradle frame. The foot plate (4) is lowered which is caused by the unloading movement
of the rotary frame and the movement of the bumper mounted on the outer frame (1) under the
turntable slide base. The adjustable arm (3) on the right-hand side of the bale tipper can be set in two
positions (Figure 10). If set to the position (A), the bale will roll over behind the bale wrapper after
unloading. In variant (B), when the adjustable arm (3) is raised to the vertical position, the cradle frame
will be lowered to rest against the roller of the adjustable arm and rotate around the centreline of the
cradle rotation pin (6). The bale will be placed on the left side of the cradle in a vertical position (with its
bottom on the ground).
