Twin-reel film binding is a new option for Kuhn Farm Machinery’s FB 3130 fixed chamber round baler.
Already available for the larger FB 3135 fixed chamber model, the system uses two 750mm stretch film rolls to bind the bale as opposed to a single, wider conventional unit.
This means operators are handling lighter rolls, which says Kuhn, makes them easier to load into the mantle, and a higher pre-stretch ratio compared to conventional films offers the potential to reduce binding costs by up to 37%.
There are also operational savings, comments Rhodri Jenkins, Kuhn’s grassland product specialist. “Users will notice an increased period between changing film rolls and the stretched film has a sticky tack between each layer, protecting the bale instantly and providing an extra barrier once fully wrapped.”
