7. Baler requirements and preparation
7.1 Net requirements
In order for the McHale
Fusion 2
to produce well-shaped bales of excellent density a
top quality net, that is similar as possible, to the specification recommended below
should be used. It is of the utmost importance that the net is used and stored
according to the instructions of the net manufacturer. Note: For netting silage a
minimum of two turns of net is recommended, but when material is drier, netting
amount should be increased to four or more turns. A general rule to follow is to
apply the amount of net that will maintain the bale size. The maximum bale size
recommended is a 1.3 m diameter bale. In order to achieve the best possible
performance, McHale recommend the use of a net roll which meets the following
specifications:
¾ Material: High quality, high density polyethylene.
¾ Density: Minimum of 10 g/m
2
±10%.
¾ Elongation: 15% ±3%.
¾ Strength (In direction of wrap): 900 N/ 500 mm.
¾ Material Length 2000 – 4000 m ±200 m.
¾ Material Width (Ideal) 1230 mm, Note: 1260mm max.
7.2 Care of the net roll
The net roll should be protected from damage and moisture. Do not remove
protective cover until ready for use. Net damage can cause undesired netter
performance and affect bale shape.
7.3 Care of the net wrapping system
Before operating the baler ensure that the following procedure is followed to ensure
improved netter operation:
¾ Clean off rubber and aluminium feed rollers and check for any tacky material.
Note: Never use cleaning agents such as benzene, petrol, turpentine oil or
similar cleaning solvents to clean rubber feed roll, otherwise damage may
occur!
McHale recommend to use any of the following:
¾ A cloth soaked in Soapy water
Note: Once roller cleaning is carried out, apply talcum powder to the
rubber feed roll.
