Abstract (en)

A discharge chute (2) for use in packaging materials, such as hay and green herbage, is an elongate hollow body formed of two substantially U-shaped channel members (6). A bag is positioned around a discharge opening (30) of the chute and then a block of the material to be packaged is forced along the chute (2) towards the discharge opening (30). The block, and the means to force it along the chute, is larger than the chute (2) whereupon the two channel members (6) are moved apart. This holds the bag in position on the chute. Simultaneously, pressure is applied to counteract the expansion of the chute (2) by hydraulic cylinders (22).
