balers
Farm compacting machines
Balers are machines that compress loose material—hay, straw, cotton, paper, or recyclables—into compact bundles called bales for easier handling and transport.
On farms, balers follow behind harvesters, gathering cut crops and binding them with twine or wire: The balers worked through the night to beat the rain.
Industrial balers compress cardboard and plastics for recycling.
