BALE RESTRAINT
The position of the bale restraint has an important role on
how much of the bale is exposed to the crossbeater. The closer
the bale restraint is to the fan motor the more straw will flow
through the machine. If you have damp, matted bales we
suggest moving the bale restraint away from the fan of the
11
machine and slowing the bed speed down.
To adjust the bale restraint beam remove the three M12 bolts
located in the holes on both sides of the restraint beam, and
loosen the fourth bolt in the slot. Reposition the bale restraint
beam by aligning the necessary holes, replace and tighten bolts.
PERFORMANCE
The blow distance is dependant upon a number of factors. The main factor is the flow of oil to the fan motor. The higher the oil
flow the greater the blow distance. Keeping the fan motor spinning at high speed is important. Other factors include bed chain
speed, bale restraint position, bale condition and material type.
Higher output
is achieved by a rapid tumbling action of the straw on the bed chain.
