Bale transfer

The big advantage of the UNIWRAP is its simultaneous baling and wrapping capability. One driver carries out two jobs simultaneously and needs only to concentrate on the baling function while driving.

The CLAAS high-performance wrapper unit covers the bale with six layers of stretch film in just 23 seconds. Only four layers of film are required for dry silage, with bales being wrapped in a speedy 17 seconds. After this very brief wrapping cycle, the wrapping table is lowered while the baler is on the move, and the bale is dropped gently onto the field. On sloping terrain, the bale can be dropped where it is safe while the next bale is being made.

The UNIWRAP baler/wrapper combination is a compact unit allowing for the rapid and reliable transfer of the bale. The bale transfer takes just 12 seconds, from the moment the tailgate opens until it closes again.

The bale rolls onto the articulating transfer platform without touching the ground. Laterally mounted plates centre the bale accurately at this stage, even on sloping fields. The transfer platform then raises the bale safely onto the wrapping table, which is tilted towards the baling chamber, and it is guided along by four large rollers.
