Every minute countswhen weather conditions are uncertain. The unique innovations onthe KUHN balers make a real difference in field performance.UNMATCHED RELIABILITYKUHN offers the most efficient and versatile range of balersavailable on the market. KUHN balers are not only designed toproduce top quality bales but are also built for unmatched reliabilityand performance under all conditions.STAYING IN FRONT WITH NEW INNOVATIONSKUHN’s Research & Development department is constantlyimproving the i-BIO to stay in front with innovations like:INTEGRAL ROTOR Technology, INTELLIWRAP and DROP-FLOOR.Integral Rotor Opticut 14 Opticut 23Knives 14 23Cutting length 70 mm 45 mmGroup selection No Yes, 0-7-11-12-233

INTELLIWRAPHIGH-SPEED WRAPPINGKUHN has been a pioneer in the wrapping and baling technology, leading the way for over 25 years. The latest result of this continued vision isa revolutionary new wrapping technique called INTELLIWRAP. This is a unique, intelligent and sophisticated way of wrapping bales.12341. Selection of 5 film layers -2. The bale is covered with 3 layers and67% overlap -3. Increasing of the bale rotation speed -4. Final 2 layers with 50% overlapExcellent wrapping; by introducing INTELLIWRAP on the i-BIO, greater management and control is achieved. INTELLIWRAP uses sophisticatedelectronics and hydraulics to monitor the wrapping process and continuously controls the film overlap, allowing total flexibility. Depending onlocal circumstances, crop conditions and storage periods the operator simply adjusts the amount of requested film layers (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…)into the terminal by a push on a button.18 second film wrap!*After raising the upper part of the bale chamber, the bale is ready for immediate wrapping. No bale transfer is needed. The bottompart of the bale chamber is now functioning as wrapping table. Synchronizing with the pre-stretchers INTELLIWRAP assures a correctoverlap. The two integrated pre-stretchers, mounted on a ring, wrap the bale with a magnificent speed up to 50 min-¹.Proportional valves ensure smooth speeding up and slowing down of the wrapping cycle and so gentle handling of the film.After wrapping, the wrapper ring goes up and the lower part of the bale chamber is lowered allowing the bale to roll gently onto theground.*Applying 6 layers 5

INTAKEDifferent Intake SystemsPick-UpThe new designed Pick-Up gathers the densest of swaths even at highforward speeds. The PENDULUM system and 2.30 m wide intake withheight adjustable guide wheels accurately carry the Pick-Up over everyground contour. The Pick-Up roller helps to even out the flow of materialinto the integral rotor, regardless of the crop conditions.OPTICUT 14The Integral Rotor with the 14-knife OPTICUT system is designedto even out the swath and force-feed the crop into the baler formaximum throughput. The 14-knife OPTICUT cutting system providesa theoretical cutting length of 70 mm. Each single knife is springprotected against damage from foreign objects.OPTICUT 23The Integral Rotor with the 23-knife OPTICUT system from KUHN has the benefitsof intensive cutting and the mechanical protection. The 23-knife OPTICUT systemprovides a theoretical cutting length of 45 mm. Each single knife is springprotected against damage from foreign objects. With group selection the operatorcan choose to have 0, 7, 11, 12, or 23 knives in operation.The OPTICUT systems from KUHN are acknowledged by users as one of the bestcutting systems on the market.WORK QUALITYIntegral Rotor TechnologyA maintenance-free and short distance intake system which ensures even feeding regardlessof variations of the crop. With this system, even the heaviest crops are forced through theintake, resulting in higher forward speeds for outstanding productivity.The silage is guided and drawn to the knives in an early stage which improves the flow and cutting performance and is also preventingunwanted blockages. As a result of the redesigned intake unit the power requirement of the i-BIO has decreased.DROP-FLOORThe intake unit is protected by the main PTO clutch. If a blockage occurs the PTO clutch is automatically activated. In addition the completecutting floor including the knives can be lowered with a push on a button on the terminal. After the blockage is cleared the cutting floor includingthe knives can be brought back into the working position via the terminal. In extreme circumstances KUHN provides double security by rotordisengagement clutch which separates the rotor drive so the bale can be finished.6

COMFORTBale chamberThe KUHN i-BIO is a fixed chamber round baler with a chamber diameter of 125 cm.For compressing the crop into consistent size and dense bales, the baling process has to beas effective as possible, while being gentle on the crop. The 18 steel rollers equipped with aribbed profile ensure maximum traction and compression, and create an ideal wrapping tablewhich is friendly for the film. The rollers are produced from high-grade steel constructed fromtwo fully seam-welded sections. Radial support rings are located inside each roller, creatingadditional strength. The end plate and roller stub shafts are forged in one piece.OverviewWhile working with the KUHN i-BIO you have an excellent view on the process of baling,applying net, wrapping and unloading the bale without the need of an additional camera.Also on the terminal with big color screen you are able to monitor the complete baling andwrapping process.Netbinding without compromiseThe binding cycle is a critical step in the baling process. Less time spent net wrapping meanshigher efficiency and productivity. To optimize this process, adjustments are conveniently madevia the terminal. On the KUHN i-BIO, the binding system is located at the front of the machine,providing a perfect view of the binding process from the tractor seat.7

Pre-stretchersWORK QUALITYPre-stretchersThe standard pre-stretchers hold 750 mm film rolls and are made of aluminum to avoid build-up of tack from the film. The bottomend of the aluminium rollers are cone-shaped, to maintain the optimum width of the film and reduce the risk of film tear. The specialribbed profile of the aluminum rollers keeps air and water away from the film. The standard pre-stretch of 70% is reached by alow-maintenance and low noise gear transmission.If one of the film rolls is empty or torn theoperator can switch to half speed with onepush on a button in order to finish the balewith one roll of film. Optionally a film end/break sensor is available, which warns theoperator automatically for an empty film roll or abreakage.SAVINGSOptimum Silage qualityWhen wrapping with the KUHN i-BIO the bale remains in the bale chamber.Using a conventional bale wrap combination the bale tends to expand while being transferred from bale chamber to wrapping table.Immediate wrapping of the bale limits the use of netwrap, limits unwanted expansion and optimizes fermentation of the crop.As the bale is laying onto the lower part of the bale chamber wrapping on hilly slopes is no issue. The bale is held firmly inposition supported by side rollers.Film cuttersTwo vertical film cutters hydraulically rise from the lower part of the bale chamber to hold and cut the film. Due to its design, the film is caught onits full width. The film is held with a clamp, stretched into a solid string, and then cut before the bale is unloaded. The hydraulic clamp continues tofirmly hold the film for the next bale.8

ELECTRONICSCCI 100The ISOBUS compatible CCI 100 terminal has a large 21,6 cm (8.5”) color screen withoutstanding clarity. Baling adjustments can be easily made via the touch screen or by useof the intuitive, large, soft-touch keys. The CCI 100 terminal can also be used with manyother ISOBUS compatible machines on the market.VT 50The KUHN ISOBUS VT 50 terminal has a14,5 cm (5.7”) color screen with outstandingclarity. Adjustments can easily be done by thetouch screen and the large soft-touch keys onthe sides. The VT 50 terminal can be usedspecifically with the KUHN ISOBUS machines.9
