SECTION 2 - CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION
2ï3
When sufficient crop has been
fed into pre-compression chamber (11), sensing
mechanism
(13) automatically activates the stuffer mechanism
(12). Holding fingers (10) will retract automatically to
clear the pre-compression chamber top opening and
at the same time stuffer fork (12) sweeps the
calibrated charge of crop into the bale chamber on the
compression return stroke of plunger (1).
The movement of the stuffer is synchronised with the
movement of the plunger.

Crop holding fingers (10) return to their closed
position as soon as the crop flake has been lifted into
bale chamber (2).
