ROUND BALER FOR VINEYARD AND ORCHARD PRUNINGS • Biomass residue from farming accounts for a considerable amount of wood waste that is not currently being properly recycled. • Recovery of prunings for use in energy generation can provide farmers with a significant source of additional income and solves a major waste disposal problem. • The recovery process for pruning residue consists essentially in treatment of residue farming biomass (prunings) through shredding and drying in order to obtain biofuel (wood chips) which can then easily be used by the farmer or marketed.

ROUND BALER FOR VINEYARD AND ORCHARD PRUNINGS The R98 is a fixed chamber round baler equipped with chains and shafts that has been on the market for some years and which in addition to its traditional use for baling forage has also proved particularly useful for baling vine and orchard prunings. This model forms bales 1200 mm in diameter and 980 mm in width. The compact dimensions of the baler (1850 - 2000 mm depending on the tyres fitted) mean that it is ideal for use in vine/orchard rows of 2500 - 2800 mm. ^ DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR WORKING (1) MATERIAL - SPECIFIC PICKUP wmH PRUNINGS AND...

ROUND BALER FOR VINEYARD AND ORCHARD PRUNINGS (D FIXED TOOTH ROTOR The rotor is made up of a large diameter tube which allows prunings to flow upwards towards the compression chamber. Special materials are used for the teeth in order to ensure high levels of resistance and surface hardness. The teeth are arranged in a spiral and converge towards the centre in such a way that the bale does not put excessive load on the walls of the compression chamber during formation. The tooth is geometrically designed in order to aid pickup of material from the ground and easy passage to the compression...
