Round Baler Wraps Bales in Plastic
After this first-of-its-kind round baler is done making a bale, it
shifts into a different mode, wrapping the entire bale tightly in plastic
before ejecting it onto the ground.
"It eliminates the need for a separate bale-wrapping machine," says
the manufacturer, noting that the top of the roller-type bale chamber
raises up hydraulically while the bale is being wrapped. The lower section
of rollers then serves as a wrapping turntable. Two rolls of plastic,
mounted on rotating arms, wrap the bale as it's rotated by the rollers.
The machine has its own independent hydraulics. It will bale and wrap an
average of 30 silage bales per hour.
