An ejector system (1) for a bale-forming chamber (11) comprises a shuttle assembly (2) having protrusions (5,6). This shuttle assembly (2) is able to reciprocate in order to propel at least two bales towards a discharge outlet (14). The system furthermore comprises a tilting means (3) for tilting the shuttle assembly (2) to retract a subset (6) of the protrusions from an extended position projecting into the bale-forming chamber (11) to a retracted position disposed outside the bale-forming chamber (11), thus, during movement of the shuttle assembly (2) towards the discharge outlet (14), propelling only the bale (16) present in the bale-forming chamber (11) closest to the discharge outlet (14).
