McHale Fusion 3 Baler & Wrapper
78
The McHale Fusion 3 is a fixed chamber baler with the bale diameter usually
1230 mm - 1270 mm. However, bales in excess of 1270 mm, can be
produced if any of the following conditions exist:
(a) If not enough net has been applied to the bale (especially in high dry
matter material)
(b) Excessive feeding of the bale chamber, not allowing the bale to be
properly compacted to its correct size.
8.3 Wrapping process
The wrapping process starts automatically as soon as the bale has been transferred
from the bale chamber to the wrapping table (chamber door closed, rear roller in fully
raised position and the access door closed). After the bale is wrapped with the selected
number of film layers, two (2) cut & hold units grip and cut the film. The wrapping cycle
is completed and the bale is ready for discharging.
If “Auto Tip” is selected, the wrapped bale is discharged when netting of the next bale
starts.

NOTE: Check bale diameter for enough wrapping ring rotations
It is very important to note that bales in excess of 1300 mm will not have
enough “wrapping ring rotations” if the above exercise has been carried
out on a normal 1250 mm bale. Therefore, it is important to check the
bale diameter at every change in crop condition or in differing crop row
widths and densities.
NOTE: Bale will not transfer if dispenser ring is in wrong position
The bale will not transfer from the baler chamber if the dispenser ring is
in the wrong position. This is a safety feature and is normal. In this case
and audible alarm will sound and the “Dispenser Position” error symbol
will be displayed in the control box display. The forward and reverse soft
key indicators will become active on the control box. Press the
appropriate button in order to correct and once corrected the bale will
transfer and the wrapping cycle will begin.
