This paper examines the design improvement, optimal geometric parameters, and operating modes of a mobile tunnel-forming device designed to form a ventilation tunnel in cotton bales. During the experiments, changes in the height and width of the device, the vertical component of plastic deformation, the stability of the tunnel shape, and the forces required to extract the device from the pile were determined. Based on the obtained results, an optimal tunnel formation technology was developed and the effectiveness of the modernized device model was proven.
