Abstract

A horizontal baler has a longitudinally extending generally rectangular frame assembly defining a receiving chamber and an adjacent aligned compaction chamber. Each of the chambers has a top, a bottom, and sides. A ram is mounted for reciprocation within the receiving chamber so that material therein may be transferred to the compaction chamber and compacted therein by reciprocation thereof. A first cylinder and piston assembly is longitudinally disposed within the frame assembly and is operably associated with the ram for causing reciprocation thereof. A door defines one of the sides of the compaction chamber. The door is selectively securable and movable relative to an opening communicating with the compaction chamber. A support defines a portion of the bottom of the compaction chamber. The support is reciprocable transverse to the first cylinder and piston assembly and is aligned with the door for moving compacted material through the opening. A second cylinder and piston assembly is disposed below and operably associated with the support for causing reciprocation thereof. The second cylinder and piston assembly is disposed transverse to the first cylinder and piston assembly. A strapping assembly is operably associated with the compaction chamber for permitting material compacted therein to be strapped prior to being moved through the opening.
