BiG Pack

• „High inertia and high speeds for a quiet running system
• „Power is transmitted down clutch-protected drive shafts
• „No shear pins in the drive train for maximum operator comfort
• „Electronic baling pressure control for even bale densities

The on-board hydraulic system with automatic baling pressure control ensures firm bale shapes and tidy edges, even in wet conditions and in different crops. Two sensors measure the current force of the plunger. A control system compares this measurement with the operator settings and the on-board hydraulic system automatically adapts the pressure exerted on the chamber walls.

For a smooth machine start, all BiG Pack HDP II models are equipped with a hydraulic start assist system consisting of two hydro motors that accelerate the flywheel before the tractor pto is engaged. The intermediate gearbox on the drawbar has two advantages: it reduces wear on the straight drive shaft and boosts the pto speed – a clever solution that helps maximize the flywheel’s inertia.

Perfectly protected: On start-up the BiG Pack is protected by a slip clutch. In the event of an overload on the machine side an automatic cut-out clutch is activated.

Direct drive: On KRONE big balers, power is transmitted to the packer and the knotters via robust, low-maintenance drive shafts, gears and overload clutches. Buying this technology means buying into dependability and comfort.

Automatic mode: The operator selects a density between 0 % and 100 % on the control box, and the baling force control automatically adapts the pressure in the baling chamber.
