Integrated Baler WrapperS Fusion 3 & Fusion 3 Plus

INTEGRATED BALER WRAPPER Innovative high output solutions for today’s farmer and contractor... Farmers and contractors all over the world are under pressure to reduce costs and increase output. On-going development of farming techniques has led to the need for thoroughly reliable, specialised machinery to meet these demands. Over the last decade the McHale range of balers have been operating across the globe, in some of the worlds most difficult conditions and have developed an award winning reputation for providing high output, excellent reliability, operator comfort and top resale value....

PATENTED BALE TRANSFER McHale Patented Bale transfer STEP 2 Reliable bale transfer on hillsides When working with other combined baler wrappers on hillsides, there may be issues with the bale cross travelling as it is being transferred from the baler to the wrapper. With the McHale Fusion 3 these problems are eliminated as the bale is supported in position by the sidewalls of the bale chamber during the transfer. This results in a reliable transfer even on tougher ground conditions. A fast smooth transfer The transfer of the high density bale occurs over the axle of the baler, reducing the...

Fusion 3- A fully automatic high output machine The McHale Fusion 3 is fitted with a servo operated load sensing control valve, which when combined with the expert plus control box makes the baling and wrapping process fully automatic. The machine is equipped with a 25 knife-chopping unit. Once the bale is formed, net is automatically applied and then the chamber splits like a clamshell. The lower section of the bale chamber then transfers the bale into the wrapping ring. Once the chamber is closed the operator can continue working and the fully automatic machine will start the wrapping...

BALES AND WRAPS IN A SINGLE PASS

1 Machine Guarding 2 Chassis Design 3 Split Drive Gear Box 4 Pick Up 5 Rotor Design The guarding on the Fusion 3 has been designed using a durable twin skin composite, which is able to absorb the daily knocks and scratches these machines inevitably endure. Once the guarding of the machine is opened up, the operator has easy access to the machine components. After extensive testing, the Fusion 3 is fitted with a 2.1 metre galvanised high intake pick up. The five tine bar pick up lifts even the shortest of crop. The pick up is fitted with lateral feed augers that smoothly guide the crop into the...

5. Rotor Design (i) As crop enters the spiral rotor, rotating tines feed the crop through the chopping unit. The double tines on the rotor ensure high output, while the spiral layout reduces load peaks as the machine works in heavy swarths. The rotor design encourages a uniform crop flow, which reduces the risk of blockages, thus maximising output. 6. Chopper Unit (i) The knives in the chopping unit of the Fusion 3 can be engaged and disengaged from the tractor cab. When engaged, the knives extend into the spine of the rotor, which ensures a consistent cut quality. Knives have hydraulic...

M*Hale BALING

3 SIMPLE STEPS TO REMOVING A BLOCKAGE Should a blockage occur the sound of the slip clutch alerts the operator who can hydraulically lower the floor from the tractor cab. This widens the feed channel and on re-engaging the PTO the blockage can be fed through. The floor can then be reset and baling can resume. 7. Drop Floor Unblocking System All Fusion 3 machines are fitted with the McHale tried and tested drop floor unblocking system, a feature which operators have come to love for its simplicity of use and effective unblocking cycle. As baling conditions are not always ideal, uneven swaths can...

(i) Bale Chamber Specifications At the heart of this machine is the 1.23 by 1.25 meter bale chamber, which is formed by 18 heavy-duty rollers. The bale chamber splits like a clam shell and the lower section of the bale chamber moves up and out, transferring the bale into the wrapping platform. This reduces bale transfer time and increases reliability. (ii) Roller Design The rollers are formed from high-grade tubular steel and have heavy-duty 50 mm forged shafts. (iii) Chamber Bearings All roller assemblies utilise high quality 50 mm bearings on the drive and nondrive side of the bale...

INTEGRATED BALER WRAPPER Greasing and Oiling An automatic progressive greasing system supports the Fusion 3 bearings. This is a pressurised system, efficiently delivering grease to all points, through individual steel pipes. The automatic oiling system ensures the chamber, rotor and pick up chains all receive a measured amount of oil. After a pre-set number of bales, a lube alarm will sound reminding the operator to top up the lubrication system. A greasing system supports the following bearings: - Chamber roller bearings on the drive and non drive side - Rotor bearings (drive and non drive...

INTEGRATED BALER WRAPPER BALE CHAMBER (iv) Roller Design & Sealing The roller ends are fitted with high performance self cleaning seals that have a unique reverse-thread sealing system, which hinders the crop from getting into the bearings. As the roller moves in one direction, the thread on the seal moves in the opposite direction, ensuring that any crop that tries to find its way into the bearing is automatically threaded out. The seals prevent the grease around the bearings from becoming contaminated by crop. (v) Bale Density Adjustment On the Fusion 3, the chamber pre charge pressure can...

PIVOT STRETCH NETTER Netter Release After the bale full beeper sounds on the control box, the net tension bars pivot forward allowing the net to feed into the bale chamber unrestricted. Netter Tension As the net comes into contact with the bale the net tension bars pivot back, applying maximum pressure. This ensures efficient net usage and that a tight layer of net is applied to the bale.

BALER WRAPPER

INTEGRATED BALER WRAPPER BALE CHAMBER DOUBLES AS A TRANSFER MECHANISM Bale Transfer When the netting process is complete the bale chamber splits horizontally. As the top section of the bale chamber moves up, at the same time the lower section of the bale chamber moves up and out, transferring the bale into the wrapping platform. Wrapping Once the bale chamber is closed, wrapping will automatically start and baling can resume, this delivers maximum output.
