Abstract:
1. A baling press plant comprising: at least one baling press for producing highly compacted pressed bales provided with a fixing means which imparts a permanent shape to the highly compacted pressed bales and prevents the pressed bales from opening up before a subsequent packaging; and a packaging device for packaging the pressed bales, wherein the packaging device comprises a pull-over means for applying at least one elastic material expansion cap, which is prepared in advance of a predetermined cap size and cut to length, wherein the predetermined cap size provides a cap expanded state larger than dimensions of the highly compacted pressed bales and with a cap released state of a size to contact bale surfaces, of the highly compacted pressed bales, in a pulled over cap position, wherein the pull-over means has a movable and adjustable stretching frame for expanding the elastic material expansion cap from the cap released state to the cap expanded state and pulling the elastic material expansion cap, in the expanded state, over the pressed bale and releasing the elastic material expansion cap from the expanded state to the released state such that the elastic material expansion cap comes tightly into contact with the bale surfaces in the pulled over cap position.
