Bale compressing technology |
KUHN's fixed chamber round balers produce bales with a diameter of 125cm. As the crop is fed into the bale chamber the 14 PowerTrack rollers rotate and compress the crop into a solid bale.
Each PowerTrack roller has a special asymmetrical profile to ensure consistent bale rotation and compression. | |
The PowerTrack rollers are made from high-grade steel and are constructed from two overlapped pressed sections which are fully seam-welded for maximum rigidity. Each PowerTrack roller incorporates a number of radial support rings which provide additional strength*. The end plate and roller stub shafts are forged from one piece.
The baler operator is able to pre-set the bale densities: a maximum pressure of 170 bar can be pre-set.
*the number of radial support rings depends on the location of the roller

KUHN's variable chamber round balers are able to produce bales from 80cm up to 160cm or 185cm in diameter (depending on the model used). Whether baling straw, hay or silage, KUHNs' variable chamber machines are the perfect choice.
After collecting the crop, it is fed into a small pre-chamber where belts and rollers form a consistent bale core. The pressure within the pre-chamber can be alter to determine the final bale density.
This system, known as Progressive Density, allows the bale to grow within the bale chamber. The belt tensioning arm is subjected to steadily increasing resistance from two hydraulic cylinders and a spring tensioner.
In summary, as the bale’s diameter grows, so does the it’s density. | |
