The fixed chamber models
Fortima F 1250: 1.25 m x 1.20 m (4'1" x 3'11") diameter bales
Fortima F 1600: 1.55 m x 1.20 m (5'1" x 3'11") diameter bales
Enclosed bale chamber with strong slat-and-chain elevator
Firm and well-shaped bales produced from low input power
The unit eliminates the risk of pushing up crop in uneven windrows. As a result, the machine operates at maximum pick-up and output levels while the crop is flowing smoothly and consistently through the machine.
Roller crop guard: The unit eliminates the risk of pushing up crop in uneven windrows. The machine operates at maximum pick-up and output levels while the crop is flowing smoothly and consistently through the machine.
Massive augers: Massive augers feed the material from the sides to the middle of the machine, ensuring a smooth flow from the wide pick-up unit into the narrow bale chamber.
Closely spaced tines: Boasting five rows of tines spaced 55 mm (2") apart, EasyFlow picks up even the short stems. The deflector plates are galvanized for ultimate durability.
Optimized design for an optimized crop flow: The EasyFlow pick-up forms a compact unit that comprises either a feed rotor or a cutting rotor. The clearance between rotor and baling chamber was increased and the rotor was arranged right behind the pick-up itself to increase the intake capacity and ensure a consistent flow even in short stems.
The cutting-edge concept
Perfect cuts: Up to 17 blades in the KRONE MultiCut rotor cutting system deliver short chops that make for quick payback on your investment thanks to higher bale densities, enhanced silage quality as well as easier and faster bale break-up on the feeding floor. Short straw chops absorb liquids more readily, spread more easily. A maximum of 17 blades are narrowly spaced at 64 mm (2.5") to produce bales that are easy to break up and spread. The blades are arranged in one row for an excellent quality of cut.
Fully protected: The automatic ‘Non-Stop’ auto-reset system and the hydraulic 0-blade selection system are standard specification. The hydraulic 0-blade selection is used to remove potential blockages from the feed channel.
The controlled cutting system by KRONE: The double tines pull the crops consistently through the blades. The clearance between the blades and the double tines is very narrow so the crop cannot escape and the cuts are clean and precise.
The chain-and-slat elevator
A gripping system
Round balers harvest straw, hay and wilted silage around the world in a wide variety of conditions that require full operational reliability. The chain-and-slat elevators respond to these requirements and operate dependably in all these conditions.
The KRONE chain-and-slat elevator is gentle on the crop. By meshing with the material, it ensures effective bale roll and highest densities.
Longevity and high density: The heavy-duty chain-and-slat elevator runs on massive guide and drive rollers. The use of more chain links distributes the load more evenly and the use of massive rollers increases the angle at which the chains change direction, reducing the wear on the elevator, increasing its capacity and leading to smooth running. Individual chain links are easy to replace as required.
