During the past 40 years, New Holland has produced more than 235,000 roll belt balers, and in celebration of this significant milestone, all new Roll-Belt models will feature a 40-year decal that will mark the success of these new models. The latest generation has redefined round baling with advanced roll belt technology that can improve capacity by up to 20 per cent and density by up to five per cent.
New Holland introduced the new Roll-Belt variable chamber baler series in 2013, featuring customised feeding systems like the SuperFeed and CropCutter rotor options. The new ActiveSweep crop processing solution offers a further choice to enable tailored baling.
Available on both Roll-Belt 150 (minimum 60hp) and Roll-Belt 180 (minimum 70hp models) models, ActiveSweep has been purpose-developed by New Holland to transfer the crop directly from the pick-up to the bale chamber for gentle handling. Ideally suited to those wishing maintain long unbroken stems, ActiveSweep is perfect for baling hay and straw, minimising losses and producing a bale that can be unrolled for easy feeding or bedding.
Despite its simplicity, ActiveSweep delivers excellent productivity. The “W” pattern tines actively feed the material into the bale chamber. Specifically designed feeder strippers prevent valuable crop being lost between the fingers and also prevent productivity impacting clogging. The new Roll-Belt ActiveSweep has a capacity increase up to 20 per cent compared to the previous stuffer system.
“ActiveSweep has been introduced to complement the rotor SuperFeed and professional CropCutter variants,” New Holland’s head of hay and forage product management, Bob Hatz, said. “This new feeding system has been designed for traditional hay- and straw-focused operations together with those that specialise in alfalfa and that are looking to preserve long unbroken crop. The new ActiveSweep design innovation add up to an impressive 20 per cent increase in capacity, making the baling process more efficient and profitable.”
