BiG Pack - The new generation BiG Pack 1290 HDP (VC)
Overview:
Churning out more than 100 straw bales per hour at bale weights of up to 500 kg, this is the benchmark machine in terms of performance and density. Looking for efficient long-distance
haulage of straw and hay bales? Then HDP technology from KRONE is for you.
Features
These days roughly one in every 10 big balers sold worldwide is a KRONE BiG Pack 1290 HDP. This machine delivers high-density 120 x 90 cm square bales.
Get the field cleared fast
Harvesting a crop that yields 4 tons of straw per hectare and producing 500 kg bales rather than the 400 kg from a conventional big baler cuts the number of bales to be collected by two per hectare. Even though the machine uses higher quality twine – KRONE recommends the KRONE excellent HDP Strong² – twine costs drop by up to 25% courtesy of the higher baling density.
Cutting costs
The profitability and cost-effectiveness of straw baling depends to a great extent on the baling, transportation and storage costs. KRONE has the answer with the HDP system. The up to 25% higher density bales cut the production costs per ton, increasing the profit potential of professional straw sales. A BiG Pack HDP is your guarantee of success. It’s the smart way to work.
The HDP concept
Back in 2003, KRONE took an in-depth look at how to optimize the straw haulage chain.
Large-scale bale handling involves the following aspects:
- collection and handling is time consuming
- expensive labor
- expensive logistics
- inadequate use of truck capacity
- large storage capacities needed
The only way to optimize all parameters was to increase bale weights by increasing densities.
And so the concept of the High-Density Press was born.
