DE2330444A1 - Silage preparation and storage - pre-pressed silage bales are ground stored - Google Patents

Abstract

Short and long term silage is mixed and prepared then pre-pressed into bales, and bales stacked diagonally to form a ground silo. The diagonal position of the bales ensures even pressure and density. The ground silo is covered by agricultural polythene sheeting. The system allows use of silage and pre-preparation at the same time and takes little space as compared to stoned built silos.

Method and device for creating a string of goods for the storage of agricultural goods.

The invention relates to a new working method and a device based thereon for creating a strand of material for the storage of agricultural goods, in particular field forage, in which the Gutstrang after the Even without a solid coating, the compression approximately retains its given shape and density.

For the storage of field forage, especially silage, a procedure has been introduced in recent years, in which a strand of material using a conveying and pressing device and a mold channel that moves with it is shaped. To achieve a compression and thus a certain cross-section, the conveying and Pressing device must always be pressed against the building-up end of the strand of material during filling. This method has the advantage over tall silos and flat silos with a predetermined fixed space Advantages. Since the goods to be stored are not infinitely flowable and always under a certain pressure must be distributed, the pressing is not uniform over the material strand cross-section in this process. For the same reasons, this method can only be used for short cutting lengths of the silo can be used. In addition, the cross-section of the strand of material cannot easily be carried out without considerable additional effort be enlarged.

For the storage of longer silage goods, the tries to stack and cover pressed bales in the field. This procedure has not proven itself

because on the one hand the bales, which still contain a lot of moisture, are very difficult to handle and on the other hand When stacking, there are a lot of gaps that do not allow proper fermentation. In addition, are neither suitable machines for baling from the heavy or from the short silo material on the Market.

The object of the invention is to provide by a new economical method that both for short, as is also suitable for long silage and that regardless of the flowability of the material to be stored Forage's large strand cross-sections allow the production of quality forage that is independent of the building.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the goods to be stored in a box Gutstrangabschnitte is formed and pressed and that the compacts obtained in this way at least from a part of the molding box to a strand of material approximately more horizontal Direction to be layered. The feed can initially be operated without pressure and regardless of the length of the cut be evenly distributed over the cross-section and pressed. The so obtained Gutstrang is in the Pressure very evenly over its entire cross-section. This process can also be used for large cross-sections, In particular, the heights of the strands can be achieved so that the available space is better used can be.

The fact that the connection levels between the compacts are inclined to the ground and that the stratification takes place under pressure, there are no undesirable gaps in the gut strand. It is also ensured by the oblique support given on each other that the Do not loosen the compacts from one another, even on uneven ground.

According to one feature of the invention, the individual compacts are enveloped in an airtight manner by a film or the like or the strand of material is covered in a known manner with a film in the course of its layering, bew. enclosed.

The device for carrying out the method according to the invention is characterized in that from the goods to be stored in a on a chassis or the like. arranged molding box by pressing organs, compacts generated and that these are layered by at least a part of the molding box to form a strand of material. Thus, through the well-known economical machines such as loading wagons, Maishäxler or the like. the field forage recovered and transported. Pressing before layering is not only very economical, but also does not require any manual labor or other special machines.

Appropriately, the formation of the molding box is in accordance with the inclined connection surface so that the sloping cross-section of the strand of material is adapted.

The good fillability and uniform pressing is achieved in that the molding box for the Filling from above or from the front side arranged and that the compact for the stratification about an axis high and on the building up Gutstrang is tiltable.

There is a molding box in the molding box for demolding the compacts and simultaneously pressing them when layering relative to the outer walls movable slide, which can also be a molding box bottom, arranged.

The support for the layering of the compacts takes place e.g. by a hydraulic cylinder between the chassis and the movable slide. This will with the pushing out of the compacts at the same time the displacement of the chassis with the molding box around the Compact strength reached. The contact pressure on the connection plane is achieved by means of an adjustable brake, which acts between the chassis and the floor, adjustable.

The molding box is either conical and, or there are retainer provided that an early Prevent the compacts from loosening from the mold. For more even distribution and better compaction a vibrator is arranged on the molding box.

For the wrapping of the individual compacts, the molding box is before introducing the goods with a Foil or the like. designed.

The chassis can also contain a holding device for a film, which in the course of layering the Gutstrang afeäieh% e = fe eelea? covers or encloses.

The molding box is used for collecting and draining the water and fruit juice produced during pressing liquid-tight and provided with a collecting line.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown schematically in the drawing.

The goods 1 to be stored are removed from the transport vehicle in a molding box 3 »which has approximately the shape of the one to be formed Gutstrangs has emptied. There the chuck 1 is either by moving mold box parts 4 or by Tines 5 compacted to 6 pellets. By a vibrator 7 is a more even distribution and better compression achieved. After or also with the compression, the molding box 3 with the compact 6 up about the axis 8 and tilted to the strand 9. The bottom 11 of the molding box 3 is opposite the side walls 4 preferably slidably mounted. The hydraulic cylinder 13 that does the tilting for stratification executes, acts between the chassis 12 and the floor 11. Hach the tilting of the molding box 3 to the building up 'Gutstrang 9 is by further extension of the hydraulic cylinder 13 of the compact 6 from the molding box 3 pushed. At the same time, the adjustable brake 15 on the chassis 12 is a Contact pressure on the connection plane 14 is reached. The retainer 10 prevent the compact from becoming too releases early from the molding box 3. At the beginning of the build-up of the material strand, the molding box 3 is only partially filled, so that after the stratification there is approximately an angle of repose. Due to the storage 8 of the molding box 3 on the chassis 12, the chassis 12 with the molding box 3 has become attached to the layering and demolding moved further by the pressed part thickness, so that the molding box 3 can be lowered for a new filling. In this way, individual compacts can be produced and layered to form a strand of material of any length will.

For covering or airtight enclosing the strand of material 9 in a known manner, is on the chassis 12 a holder supporting the film 16 is attached.

In order to be able to collect the water and the fruit juice produced during the pressing, the molding box 3 liquid-tight and provided with a collecting line 18.
