Machine requirements & preparation
6.1 Net requirements
In order for the machine to produce well-shaped bales of excellent density, a top quality
net, that is as similar as possible to the specification recommended below, should be
used. It is of the utmost importance that the net is used and stored according to the
instructions of the net manufacturer.
McHale
recommend the use of a net roll which meets the following specifications:
Material: High quality, high density polyethylene
Density: Minimum of 10 g/m ± 10%
Elongation: 15% ± 3%
Strength (in direction of wrap): 900 N / 500 mm
Material width (ideal): 1,230 mm (Max. 1,300 mm)
Max. roll weight: 40 kg
6.2 Care of the net roll
The net roll should be protected from damage and moisture. Do not remove the
protective cover until it is ready for use. Net damage can cause undesired netter
performance and affect bale weatherability.
NOTE: Minimum turns of net recommended
For netting silage, a minimum of two layers of net is recommended.
When the material is drier, the netting amount should be increased to
four or more turns. A general rule to follow is to apply the amount of net
that will maintain the bale size.
ENVIRONMENT: Dangerous health effects of burning plastics
It is vitally important to observe health and safety rules in order to avoid
unnecessary environmental damage or danger to anybody near the
machine. This especially applies to the responsible disposal of plastics.
Never throw away or burn waste net or plastic. Burning plastics is toxic
as they release dioxins and furans. To inhale dioxins or to be exposed to
its fumes can cause deadly results. Respect the environment! Always
take waste materials to a recycling centre.
