Abstract: A baler including a baling chamber that includes a bale-forming channel including an inlet end and an outlet end, a plunger mounted within the channel for compressing bale material in the channel and driving the compressed bale material towards the outlet end of the channel, and a rotary drive mechanism for driving reciprocating movement of the plunger, and an additional drive mechanism for driving the compressed bale material towards the outlet end of the channel, thereby reducing torque in the rotary drive mechanism.

Abstract: A production system has at least one mechanical press driven at least in part by a flywheel powered by a first motor. The system further includes a second motor which is a servo motor. The power of the first motor powering the flywheel is arranged controlled by a control unit dependent on a function of the power of at least one second motor, the servo motor. In this way, the peak power of at least the first and the second motor may be limited. A method for operating the system and a computer program are also contemplated.
