- KUHN Farm Machinery has extended the option of its innovative TWIN-reel
film binding technology to its FB 3130 baler.The TWIN-reel system was already available for the larger FB 3135 and
the addition means both models in the fixed chamber FB 3100 range now
feature the option. 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 makes them easier to load
into the mantle. The film features a higher pre-stretch ratio compared
to conventional films, offering the potential to reduce binding costs by
up to 37%.Rhodri Jenkins, KUHN’s grassland product specialist, says the
technology offers operational savings too. “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.” - KUHN has become the first machinery manufacturer to partner with
Agriculture Plastic & Environment UK (APE) to support easier ways to
recycle agri-plastics. The TWIN-reel film binding system helps farmers
to only handle one waste product after feeding the bale rather than
separating a net and film.
