Abstract:
1. A device for producing cuboid compressed bales having a width A, a height B and a depth C as edge lengths, from compressible pressed product pieces, wherein the device comprises a press housing having at least one press chamber and a press shield that can be moved in the press chamber in a press direction and back by means of a mechanical drive, wherein a storage space is arranged downstream from the press chamber, wherein the press chamber is separated from the storage space by a partition that can be moved between a closing position and an opening position, the partition forming at least one part of a wall of the press chamber, the part being the last one as seen in press direction, and the partition freeing an opening when it is in its opening position, wherein the press chamber has a cross-sectional surface of A×C/n as seen perpendicular in relation to the press direction, wherein n is greater than or equal to 2, an opening that is made by the movable partition in the opening position thereof has at least the dimensions A×B, the device comprises a partial compressed bale transporting assembly with a mechanical drive, wherein the partial compressed bale transporting assembly has a transportation direction extending in parallel to the dimension C/n of the press chamber and extending out of the press chamber through the opening and into the storage space, and a joining assembly is allocated to or arranged downstream from the storage space, wherein said joining assembly can be used to fully-automatically or semi-automatically attach to each of the n partial compressed bales having the width A, the height B and the depth C/n as edge lengths a tie or strap or covering which joins the n partial compressed bales to each other and holds them together to form the compressed bale having the width A, the height B and the depth C as edge lengths, said tie or strap or coverage extending in parallel to the height B and the depth C of the compressed bale.
