Round Baler Wraps Bales In Plastic

Round Baler Wraps Bales In Plastic BALERS Balers 25-1-25 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 rollers. The machine has its own independent hydraulics. It will bale and wrap an average of 30 silage bales per hour. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Tanco Engineering Co.
