Integrated Balers Fusion 3 Plus The McHale Fusion 3 Plus integrated baler wrapper consists of an 18 roller fixed chamber baler and an integrated vertical wrapping ring. It uses film-on-film technology to apply film to the barrel of the bale in the bale chamber. The McHale Fusion 3 Plus is a fully automatic machine, controlled by the McHale iTouch Control Unit, and also has an inbuilt camera to monitor wrapper operation.???? Patented Film Application In the development of the McHale Fusion 3 Plus, McHale realised that changes in temperature and sunlight could affect the chamber wrapping film. In that, as the day got hotter or cooler, the film was either being overstretched or under stretched, and this in turn would cause reliability problems and result in inefficient film use.??As a result McHale developed a patented application system which adjusts the breaking force on the roll of plastic in line with working conditions and allows for a continuously variable stretch, which can automatically adjust to changes in the day without the operator having to adjust any settings.?? The McHale patented film application system ensures consistent film stretch, reliable film application, while delivering optimum bale shape and bale density. Should an operator wish to use net wrap for hay or straw this can be done with a simple adjustment.?? Film-on-film Technology Film-on-film technology refers to the application of film to the barrel of the bale in the bale chamber. The film binds the bale together as it passes from the baler to the bale wrapper, eliminating the need for string or net wrap. The film that binds the bale together forms a wrap layer and gives better film or plastic coverage on the largest surface of the bale. The Advantages: Chamber Film Acts As A Wrapping Layer - The plastic which is added to the barrel of the bale to keep the bale together as it passes from the baler to the wrapper also forms part of the wrapping process and adds value by placing more plastic on the largest surface of the bale. Chamber Film Results In Better Shaped Bales - When plastic is applied to the barrel of the bale it can be stretched to approximately 20%. The stretch ratio is higher than what can be achieved with net wrap or twine and, as a result, the material is kept tighter, which ultimately results in better bale shape. Chamber Film Delivers Higher Quality Silage - As the plastic is being stretched as it is being applied to the barrel of the bale it expels more air than net wrap would and, as a consequence, results in better silage quality. Chamber Film Makes Recycling Easier - As plastic is used to both bind the bale in the bale chamber and to wrap the bale, on feed out the farmer will be left with one form of waste. This reduces the time needed to feed the bale and avoids the unpleasant and time consuming job of separating the twine or net wrap from the plastic before the plastic is to be recycled. **See brochure for full specifications
