Abstract: A machine including a container fitted with a base that extends between lateral walls and end walls. The base partially covers (i) a mixing rotor and (ii) a feed auger which moves products in the skip either in a closed circuit or in a circuit towards a distributing chute. A transfer screw is mounted on top of the feed auger. The transfer screw can include cutting members in the form of sectioning parts. The sectioning parts co-operate with teeth which are disposed on a beam. The teeth can be positioned as necessary either on a beam located in the container or on one or more beams located on the lateral wall. Similarly, the feed auger can also include sectioning parts that co-operate with teeth if required.

Abstract: A bale-grouping and shredding device includes at least a rotor (4) equipped with said discs whereof the periphery is smooth. The discs (12) are provided with cutting members in the form of sectioning pairs (11). The sectioning pairs are V-shaped and co-operate with the teeth (17) of the barrier (11) to cut up and drive the products.

Abstract: A sheathing method includes the steps of depositing a bale on a sheathing carrier. The bale is pushed onto the carrier and slides on the carrier base plate against the preceding bale using a pusher-ejector device. A pushing motion of the pusher-ejector device causes a handling equipment to simultaneously move the tractor attached to the handling in a direction opposite to the direction of the pushing motion. The movement of the tractor is caused by a cross piece arranged beneath the frame of the pusher-ejector device. The carrier has a stop integral with the two rails that define the base plate. The cross piece contacts the stop to move the carrier by a step corresponding to a length of the bale in the same direction as the tractor.
