Product features

VariPack Round balers
VariPack Round balers
  • EasyFlow and a minimum of moving parts
  • Integral feed rotor and integral rotor cutter for maximum throughputs
  • Blade cutting system on XC models for precision and smooth cuts
  • Effective bale start and roll for reliable bale starts and perfect shapes
  • Optional chute for easy net refills
  • Auto chain oiler and grease banks reduce time spent servicing

­KRONE VariPack is a belt baler that was specifically designed for baling dry crops. The design focuses on simple technology, high throughputs and high baling densities.

The KRONE EasyFlow pick-up
The KRONE EasyFlow pick-up
  • A clean rake – 2.15 m pick-up for thorough and consistent rakes without losses „
  • Safe – 6 mm thick double tines with large diameter coils „
  • Durable and hard-wearing – few moving parts reduce wear to a minimum

The wide EasyFlow pick-up makes sure no haulm is left on the ground even in difficult conditions and when working at high speeds. Thanks to its clutter-free build that relies on only very few moving parts, the unit stands out for minimum wear and maximum longevity.
 

The KRONE Integral rotor
The KRONE Integral rotor
  • Variable – choice of integral feed rotor or integral cutting rotor with 17 blades
  • Powerful – the 530 mm rotor ensures massive throughputs
  • Consistent flow – the rotor with integrated feed roller provides a uniform crop flow
  • Precision cut – the best quality thanks to the rotor for controlled cuts
  • Making things easy – the floor beneath the cut-and-feed assembly drops hydraulically for convenient removal of blockages

The integral rotor is available with or without a cutting system. Rugged by design, the unit performs dependably and reliability in challenging conditions. The integral rotor has feed augers integrated at its ends, a design that leads to a significant reduction of the number of moving parts. Fewer moving parts translate into better cleaning, less service and maintenance and a longer lifespan.

The KRONE bale chamber
The KRONE bale chamber
  • Effective – three smooth belts form dry crops into high-density bales „
  • Fast – baling at a circumferential speed of 110 m/min „
  • Convenient – the baling pressure and the soft core are set on the terminal

The VariPack chamber is made up of four endless belts that feature a smooth surface. This design makes VariPack the specialist baler for dry material such as straw and hay. The soft core kit allows you to produce bales for specific applications.
 

KRONE net wrapping
KRONE net wrapping
  • Versatile and flexible – applying net and twine
  • Straightforward – the net threads easily through the rigid net feeder
  • Great visibility – the operator watches the process on the move
  • Easy use – net/film feed starts automatically when the chamber is filled

The VariPack twine / net film wrapping system is simple, very reliable and easy to operate. The optional net chute helps handling the heavy net roll. It folds out and down to accommodate the roll and slides it into the cradle. The rigid net feeder makes for an easy net feed into the chamber. Spare net and twine rolls are stored on the machine to keep going on long working days.

The rear door
The rear door
  • Swift – less than five-second open/close cycles „
  • Efficient – hydraulic cylinders with stroke end cushioning

Highest densities and outputs are the outstanding landmark features of VariPack. More than that, these models also score on a simple design and exemplary accessibility. All this translates into particularly easy servicing and maintenance. The hydraulic cylinders that operate the rear door have stroke end cushioning for fast unloading cycles and maximum throughputs. An optional bale ejector is available for controlled bale depositing also on slopes.
 

Precise placement on slopes
Precise placement on slopes

The optional bale clamp can be used to hold the bale securely on slopes. The clamp can be closed using an additional control unit and the bale is collected after the tailgate is opened. When the bale is secure, the clamp can be opened again.

Keeping halts as short as possible is critical for high productivity in round baling. Therefore unloading the bale effectively and fast is the key feature of the bale ejector. At the same time, the ejector is designed to give optimum access to the blades.

The model line-up
The model line-up
  • Versatile – four models with or without cutting system give various bale diameters
  • Variable – flexible 0.80-1.65 /1.90 m diameters
  • Convenient – bale diameters are set on the terminal

The VariPack range lines up four models – the compact VariPack 165 (XC) and the large-diameter VariPack 190 (XC). The difference between these models is the cutting system and the design of the bale chamber.

Small tyres
Small tyres
  • Hitching choices – various attachment options for all conditions
  • Protects the crop – Different tyre variants for optimum soil protection
  • Safe stopping – a brake system is available as an option

VariPack is the machine for quick travel between fields, for undulating and boggy terrain and easy shunting in tight space. A wide range of additional options ensure the ­KRONE VariPack is perfectly geared to deliver in your specific conditions.
