(57) Machine for forming bales of loose fibrous material, such as scrap paper, comprising
a frame (2) carrying a pressing compartment (3) defined by three consecutive mutually
perpendicular walls, a pressing unit (6) arranged to slide within the interior of
said compartment and associated with drive means, a binding unit (100) positioned
at that end of the compartment distant from the pressing unit, and a discharge chamber
(800) positioned downstream of the binding unit and provided with lateral apertures
at least in correspondence with the binding unit; said pressing unit (6) comprises
a cylinder-piston unit (7), of which the piston rod (71) is fixed to the pressing
plate (62) of the unit (6) and the cylinder (72) is fixed to a slide (73) slidable
within the machine frame (2) to assume and be locked in a position close to the binding
unit in which the cylinder-piston unit (7) is contained within the outline of the
machine frame (2), and an operative position distant from the binding unit (100).
