SIMPLE FUNCTIONALITY,
LOW COSTS FOR BALE

Two fundamental requirements of the HD series which are defined by designing the whole mechanical architecture of the baling process with the maximum technical accuracy.
This strategy is based on new mechanical systems that assures great semplicity of
operation, radical knocking down of frictions and great compression power.

Flywheel, Gearbox, Archimedes Leverage System and Rotors of the HD series redefine the mechanics of baling, with low maintenance and the lowest energetic impact of production.A new technical concept, that allows concretely to slash costs for the single bale, thanks to the possibility to work with medium power tractors and the lowest overhead expenses.

A NO COMPROMISE STRUCTURE

As a logical result of our focus on square balers and after many years of international experience, our engineers developed an ideal solid frame for the powerful Big Balers HD series, able to sustain a force of 18 tons in the compression chamber.
An ambitious project implemented with the conception of an extremely solid structure largely built with high thickness special steels:

  • Weldox 700 steel, of high strength characteristics, ideal for sustaining the intense stress of the piston compression;

  • Hardox 400 steel, characterized by an excellent mechanical resistance to any impact and wear, the best for the compression chamber.

THE AWARD WINNING BALING TECHNOLOGY

1

YOUR USUAL TRACTOR, OUR ARCHIMEDES LEVERAGE SYSTEM

Today the HD series is equipped with a revolutionary technology which allows
to get a high compression power with the lowest demand of energy.
An important technical goal, which allows to bale even with medium power tractors, thanks to the physical principles of the Archimedes Leverage System®.An
innovative piston mechanism based on a balance levers system, capable of transmitting an extraordinary thrust of 18 tons into the compression chamber with just 80 hp at the PTO of the tractor.
A new compression system award-winning for its low demand of energy combined
with high performances, completely innovative with respect to the other large square balers available in the market today.

THE EXCLUSIVE PISTON MOVEMENT

Thanks to the Archimedes Leverage System, in the HD series the traditional rectilinear movement of the piston is replaced by a semicircular movement even smoother and powerful.
An exclusive technology which has radically changed the working position of the piston,
now lower, fastened to a fulcrum, in order to use all the extraordinary thrust of the
Archimedes Leverage System to which it is anchored.
An ideal position which has done away with rolls and bearings on the piston, causing substantially less friction and reducing
maintenance operations by comparison with the traditional longitudinal movement.

THE ORIGINAL FEEDING FROM THE TOP THE QUALITY OF CLEANNESS

The unique feeding from the top system in the market, constituted by two synchronized rotors which transfer the product in an extra-long channel of 3,3 m length. A special path which allows dust and even small stones to drop along the channel, ensuring an undamaged and clearer product.
An innovative process which optimises the making of compact and clearer layers, without modifying their natural nutritional value, obtainig a high quality product ideal for cattle feeding or any other use.
This is the only mechanism in the market able to ensure that for every piston stroke a uniform and substantial layer of product is positioned in the chamber, with no lost piston strokes.

NEW COMPRESSION CHAMBER WITHOUT GUIDES

Re-enginereed according to the revolutionary semicircular high pressure piston movement, it is built with special steels Weldox and Hardox without the traditional slides for the advancement of the piston into the compression chamber.
A structural feature which demonstrates its extraordinary solidity even after years of harsh use and a reduction of energy consumption required to bale.

BALING AT ANY HOUR OF THE DAY WITH EVERY KIND OF PRODUCT.

THE EXCELLENT CONTROLLED BINDING SYSTEM

Excellent knots under any condition, even with temperatures of the environment above 40°C, humidity of the product less than 3% and maximum density allowed by the twine resistance.
This operative advantage is determinated by two exclusive functional features:

  1. The piston still compresses the product while the knot is being made. In this way the stress and the wear of the knotters are limited and it is possible to work even under difficult environmental conditions.

  2. Special bring-wire able to control the tension of the twines and the stress on the knotters.
SAFETY AND MAXIMUM WORKING FLOW.

BIG DIAMETER PICK-UP

A wide pick-up for any kind of windrow, enginereed to obtain the maximum safety and a high harvest volume under any condition.

Equipped with support wheels, hydraulic lift, adjustable directly from the driver’s seat to act rapidly to changing field conditions. The counter rotating movement of the augers facilitates a quick and efficient flow of the material into the feeding channel.

The belt transmission slips in case of danger and protects from injures or unexpected external objects from entering the chamber.

CLEANING SYSTEM AND OPERATIVE CONTROL

1

CLEANING OF THE KNOTTER SYSTEM

MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY UNDER ANY CONDITION.

Our Big Balers are equipped with high performance fans and powerful nozzles blowing at adjustable intervals (optional) in order to ensure a stable cleaning of the knotter area under any condition.
High effective cleaning system assures to operate in total security avoiding control stoppages and additional cleaning operations.

2

INDEPENDENT PRESSURE CONTROL

EASY ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATIVE PRECISION.

The pressure required in every moment can be easily adjusted from the tractor in accordance with the kind of product or the commercial purposes of the user.
The setting is activated directly from the tractor cabin by means of the hydraulic cylinder and the lateral and upper mobile press arms.
A reliable control of the pressure to assure a product with the most suitable density under any condition of the day.

CONTROL MONITOR

ALL THE OPERATIONS UNDER CONTROL.

A new generation monitor for all models Big Balers HD series provides to the customer the control of the most important functions:

  • Regulation of baling pressure
  • Moisture control of bales
  • Knotter cleaning system management
  • Bales Counter: daily/seasonal/total
  •  Visualization of piston strokes and feeding
    rotors regime
  • Bale length visualization

All the machine functions can easily switch to manual in case of difficulties with the electronic devices.
