Compressing and Baling Mill Refuse 70,
Shipuent-A New Idea


Shipment-A New Idea
At the mills Is erected Q tramway. and
along this runs on wheels q box shaped re-
ceptacle or curb In which the material 10
pressed The entire outfit weighs about two
and a half tons and requires . space about
twenty by thirty feet When the work Of
pressing begins the sawdust or other mate
rial Is dropped into the receptacle, and by
means Of power either from a water wheel
or engine q pressure Of 1s5 tons is secured
1t is plainly evident that no covering for
bale, unless 1t Be of metal, can withstand
such pressure, and just here comes in one OF
the notable inventions connected with the
machine.
By peculiar arrangement, which has been
patented, a metallic case is 50 placed inside
the curb and inside the burlap which finally
forms the covering to the bale, as TO enable
the removal Of the matter pressed after il has
been confined by wire or rope. The curb Is
SO devised as to open at all four corners, al
lowing the bale to drop to the floor or ground,
leaving the curious lining inside Then by
a motion OF the levers the curb Is closed, new
binding material inserted, and the whole APP
paratus ready to go through the operation
again Two curbs can be used advantage
q curb.
Sawdust when baled In this way becomes
30 compact as to be well nigh impregnnble,
weighing about 325 pounds per bale. These
bales measure about 24x2ax36 inches, and are
readily taken by transportation COMPANIES

sawdut, even after being subjected Ia this
great pressure, falls apart like meal on being
opened, the particles not adhering together.
The machine is intended for the compress
ing Of sawdust, shingle hair, refuse wood
and bark, and in fact everything in the shape
Of waste coming from sAw mills. box facto-

distributed to tanneries at q large saving in
the cost Of transportation.
| Refuse from mills, such es bark, sticks,
etc, can be balod u the same manner as
sawy,ust, mve that no covering is ussi, it
only being necessary 70 put slsfs OH tho top
