Abstract

A conventional Webb cotton press is modified to change the path of bale movement 90.degree.. In additon, an improved debander is located adjacent the new entry location to the press. At the end of one cycle of press operation, a pusher associated with the debander advances a debanded bale into the press which pushes the finished bale out of the press. A heading mechanism is provided to square an unbanded bale push into the press.
