Abstract

A bale (2) in a bale chamber (25) of a roller baler (8) is circumferentially wrapped by two sheets (53) of plastics film. As circumferential wrapping of a bale (2) currently in the bale chamber (25) is nearing completion, the two sheets (53) are bundled together by a pair of bundling elements (85) to form a single bundled portion (84). A severing mechanism (91) severs the single bundled portion (84) intermediate its ends forming a single bundled tail portion (84a) which is wrapped onto the bale (2) currently in the bale chamber (25), and a single bundled lead-in portion (90) for the commencement of wrapping of the next bale (2) in the bale chamber (25). Circumferential wrapping of the next bale (2) now in the bale chamber (25) is commenced by dispensing the single bundled lead-in portion (90) into the bale chamber (25). On the single bundled lead-in portion (90) being formed to a predefined length, the bundling elements (85) are urged from the operative state to an inoperative state thereby allowing the sheets (53) to spread transversely relative to the direction of movement thereof so that the two sheets (53) are circumferentially applied to the rotating bale (2) with inner side edges (56a) overlapping, and outer side edges extending around axially opposite end edges (58) of the bale (2). One guide plate (105) located adjacent the infeed opening (28) urges the single bundled lead-in portion (90) against the circumferential surface (51) of the bale (2) to prevent it exiting through the infeed outlet (28).
