Heavy duty floor roll provides gentle but firmrotation while supporting the weight of the bale.6Bale rotation bars provide positive crop movementin all conditions.Density control system is ideal for producingdense bales in all crop conditions.

7BALE FORMATIONPERFECTLY FORMED FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORTSimple design for efficient operation. The RBX uses a simpleand energy efficient chain roller drive system to form the ideal bale, whateverthe crop type or conditions.Firm and gentle rotation. A heavy duty steel floor roller is mounteddirectly behind the pick-up and feeding unit. This roller supports the weightof the bale as it forms. Welded steel slats fitted across the entire width of theroller’s surface encourage bale rotation. This feature helps to produce aweather resistant bale of excellent shape.Strong and durable. The bale chamber incorporates a fully enclosedroller chain and elevator system that uses 34 heavy duty steel bars to firmlygrip the bale as it forms. As the bale grows in size and density, the rotationbars become embedded in the bale’s outer surface, giving a positive gripto turn the bale without slipping or jamming. This positive rotation at theearly forming stage makes it easier to roll out each bale almost to its centre.Perfectly formed and structured. The three layer bale formationprocess ensures superb bale quality and appearance plus a weatherproofexterior.Always clean and in good shape. The steel stripper rolleris designed to prevent the possibility of any crop build-up in the chamberand is particularly important when baling silage or cut crops that havea wet and sticky residue.Set right from the start. To simplify maintenance procedures, factoryset chain tensioners keep the baler working at optimum performance levels.Electronic density control. To produce the ideal bale, density iscontrolled by two strong springs. After the core is formed and the bale startsto grow, two electronic monitoring devices - mounted between the tailgateand the baler frame - monitor pressure in the bale chamber. The requireddensity level is pre-set on the performance monitor and when this preset levelis reached the wrapping process will automatically start after giving theoperator a warning signal. This simple and efficient control system allowsthe operator to make precise density adjustments to suit the crop conditions.The bales produced are composed of three distinctlevels of different density.

Excellent accessibility and loading of twine or net.8A maximum of six spools of twine helps ensurea full day’s baling.The RBX343 SILAGE-PACK. Prolonged crop exposureor loss of quality due to changes in weatherconditions is eliminated.

9BINDING AND WRAPPINGBALED AND WRAPPED IN UNDERA MINUTE WITH THE RBX SILAGE-PACKWrapped to stay in great shape. RBX balers will ensure that thebales are formed and wrapped right to the bale edges, so that they retainall their storage potential and nutritional value.Wrapped edge to edge. The net applicator is wider than thebalechamber. This allows extra wide net to be used, resulting in superblooking bales. This fast and simple system ensures uniform wrapping and baleshape, whether the crop is wet, wilted or dry.Automatically cut and ready for ejection. Regardless of whetheryou are using net or optional twine equipment for wrapping, cutting is fastand automatic leaving the bale ready for immediate ejection.Efficient bale ejection. The spring loaded bale ramp pushes the baleclear of the tailgate to ensure no outer surface damage, giving the bale a safeand easy landing.SILAGE-PACK – Two operations in one. By combining the baleforming and wrapping process, baling time and silage quality are improved.No time is lost because wrapping and unloading takes place while the nextbale is forming. Prolonged crop exposure or loss of quality due to changesin weather conditions is eliminated.Electro-hydraulic control. The automatic control system movesand wraps the bale with surprising speed and efficiency - with the combinedoperation taking only a few seconds more than the standard round baler.Designed to operate in all field conditions. The superbtandem axle design gives a low centre of gravity with exceptional stabilityduring operation.Tight and economical. High speed, twin satellite arms with adjustablespeeds and a 60% pre-stretch capability, give fast and efficient wrapping.To avoid any film damage, the arms revolve at half speed at the start of thewrapping process. A steel conveyor chain rotates the bale on the wrappingtable and four strategically positioned centering rollers protect the film andhold the bale precisely in position, even when working on steep slopes withup to a 15° incline.An optional quarter turn bale chute is available for thosecustomers wishing to handle and store bales on their ends. This system hasthe advantage that bales placed on their ends will not so readily runaway down hills.Swift, safe and sure. A transfer fork cradles the bale as it movesto the wrapping table, with two guides preventing it sliding sideways.Twin rollers at the rear of the wrapping table pivot to form the unloading ramp.
