Bale chamber

Robust, reliable, enduring design features for high performance and dense bales – these are the hallmarks of the CLAAS ROLLANT round balers. The 16 extra-strength steel rollers with profiled surfaces speed up the crop flow and compress the harvested crop into firm, stable bales, ensuring reliable bale rotation, even in very dry harvesting conditions. The new rugged bale rollers installed at the high-load locations within the bale chamber ensure maximum operating reliability in all harvesting conditions. ROLLANT technology – the right choice for a smooth harvest.

This swivel-mounted three-roller segment in the ROLLANT tailgate provides the additional pressure. The steel-roller baling chamber with the unique MPS system guarantees the hardest bales and high core compaction. At the start of each bale being formed, the three MPS rollers extend into the baling chamber. As the chamber fills up, the rollers are pressed upwards into their final position, pushing hard against the heavy-duty springs as the bale expands. The smaller initial chamber size gets the bale turning much sooner, compressing the bale from the core outwards. This MAXIMUM PRESSURE SYSTEM – MPS – is available only on the CLAAS ROLLANT 350/355.

Thanks to the bow-shaped arrangement of the rollers, the bales rotate inside the baling chamber with minimal power consumption. With up to 1.3 tonnes of MPS II pressure for compressing the core and 20% more closing pressure (4.8 tonnes) for bale compaction, the ROLLANT delivers perfectly compacted bales. The new MPS II system achieves higher bale density with less tractor power. The result: perfectly formed, highly compacted, easy-to-store round bales every time.
