overview"
When pressing the start icon on the display unit, the following will happen:
The chamber starts, the elevator starts, the sub conveyor and hopper start. Material is fed into the bale
chamber. The feed amount is controlled by the ultrasonic sensor S29.
When set chamber pressure is reached (elevator slow threshold) the elevator slows down in order to
reduce the material flow into the chamber until the bale is finished.
Then, the net/film knife opens and the feed rollers start feeding the net/film into the chamber. A pre-
defined number of layers of net/film is laid on the bale, and the knife cuts the net/film.
The chamber opens and the bale is transported to the wrapper by the sub conveyor. The ultrasonic sensor
above the wrapping table detects the bale. Then the wrapping table receives the bale and tilts to its
middle position. The chamber door closes.
When the chamber door is closed, a new baling cycle starts. At the same time, the wrapping starts on the
wrapping table; the wrapping arms start and the film cutters release the film. The wrapping arms lay film
on the bale until a predefined number of revolutions is reached, before the film cutters cut the film.
The finished bale is then dropped from the wrapping table, either manually from the display unit, or auto-
matically if the automatic bale drop is activated.
There are several conditions that determine the desirable number of layers with wrapping film; type of
material, type of film and storage conditions and duration are especially important. Please read the
manual enclosed with the film.
NOTE: 14 turns/laps of the wrapping arm equals approximately 6 layers of film on the bale.
4.6 FILM ROLLER STORAGE
