Krone’s MaxFlow system optimises the crop flow on the company’s XC big balers. Thanks to a combination of innovative features, the new system improves the flow of material through the machine.
The modified contours of the pick-up scrapers result in an almost linear crop feed to the cut-and-feed rotor, another innovation featuring tines that are hardened by wide 20mm Hardox steel plates to enhance the material feed. There are three tines arranged around the circumference of the rotor. These innovations combine to improve the overall crop feed and optimize the quality of cut.
Additionally, the cutting system pulls the material much easier through the knives and the knives offer a much longer service life.
Another modification to the Big Pack XC series is the new knife drawer that features an enhanced cutting frame contour, another detail that optimizes the crop flow at a low power input. In addition, the Big Pack XC machines feature new and open auger boxes on the pick-up system, which effectively reduce the risk of blockages.
Another new feature is the standard-fit knife selection system on all X-Cut models. This selects 26, 13, 13, or 0 X-Cut knives (on 1.20m baling chamber models). The Big Pack 890 model is equipped with a 16-knife cutting system at a baling width of 0.80m and a choice of 16, 8, 8, or 0 X-Cut knives. The system offers two cutting lengths – 45mm and 90mm. This means that two sets of knives are available when cutting at 90mm length.
