Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0265755A2] Apparatus and method for the determination of the limits (4, 7) of fibre blocks in bale-processing machines (1). The limits (4, 7) are determined by detecting the stream of fibre flakes obtained by the cutting rollers. Various methods for detecting the stream of fibre flakes are provided. The results are transmitted to a stored-program control. <IMAGE>
