Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wrapping material supply apparatus for supplying wrapping material to a wrapper inlet of a baling chamber, in which a bale is to be wrapped. The wrapping material supply apparatus includes a wrapping material supply unit displaceable between a baling position and a wrapping position by a first actuator, and a cutting apparatus located at a lower end of the wrapping material supply apparatus. Movement of the wrapping material supply apparatus between the baling position and the wrapping position is independent of the movement of the cutting apparatus.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A wrapping material supply apparatus for supplying wrapping material to a wrapper inlet of a baling chamber, in which baling chamber a bale is to be wrapped with the wrapping material, comprising: a wrapping material supply unit comprising a channel between a planar element and an endless belt, wherein the wrapping material supply unit is displaceable between a baling position and a wrapping position by a first actuator; and a cutting apparatus located at a lower end of the wrapping material supply apparatus. 2 . The wrapping material supply apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cutting apparatus is displaceable about a lower end of the wrapping material supply apparatus. 3 . The wrapping material supply apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cutting apparatus comprises a pivoting frame comprising a cutting element moveable between a first position allowing free passage of wrapping material through the wrapping supply apparatus and a second position in which the cutting element severs wrapping material passing through the wrapping supply apparatus. 4 . The wrapping material supply apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a second actuator to displace the pivoting frame between the first and second positions. 5 . The wrapping material supply apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the second actuator is operated independently of the first actuator. 6 . A baler comprising the wrapping material supply apparatus of claim 1 . 7 . A baling arrangement comprising the baler of claim 6 and an agricultural vehicle. 8 . The baling arrangement of claim 7 , further comprising a bale size sensor, a bale wrapping sensor and an electronic control unit. 9 . A method of operation of the baling arrangement of claim 7 comprising: determining when a bale has been sufficiently wrapped and then causing the cutting apparatus to be operated.
