Abstract
The invention relates to a round-bale press for compressing refuse into round bales and to such a method. The round-bale press according to the invention enables refuse to be compacted within a compressing chamber (10). For this purpose, an endless belt (12), which together with two side walls (14, 16) defines a compressing chamber (10), is driven. A pivotably supported endless belt segment (24) can be moved out of a refuse compressing position into a discharge position in such a way that the compressed round bale can be discharged from the compressing chamber (10) via this endless belt segment (24).
