Abstract
In a bale press feeder, waste material is drawn into a condenser to form a fluffy blanket. The thickness of the blanket is decreased by passing the blanket through rolling devices with successively reduced clearance, and then by drawing the blanket through a chamber of successively reduced height by a conveyor belt. The thereby compressed blanket is fed to a bale press. A packer, operated in response to the feeding of the compressed blanket to the bale press, cyclically packs the blanket in the press.
