The KUHN VB round baler-wrapper combination BalePacks are designed to maximize your silage quality and your return on investment. Following mowing, tedding and raking your crop, it is vital to prepare and seal it well to prevent the loss of the nutritional value. KUHN's round baler and wrapper technologies are combined into one machine to save time and increase productivity.
Two technologies from KUHN are combined into one machine to create the VBP 3100 Series Variable Baler-Wrapper Combination BalePacks. These machines not only produce high-quality 4x5 round bales, but tightly wraps them providing maximum efficiency and prolonged silage quality preservation.
Two KUHN technologies combined into one machine—the VBP 3200 Series Variable Baler-Wrapper Combination BalePacks. These machines not only produce high-quality round bales, but securely wrap them to maximum efficiency and preserve forage quality.
KUHN round baler-wrapper combinations are designed to maximize your silage quality and your return on investment. Following mowing, tedding and raking your silage it is vital to prepare and seal it well for storage to prevent the loss of the nutritional value. With use of a baler-wrapper combination, the bale is sealed within seconds using the latest technology and innovations, including KUHN's patented film binding technology and 3D wrapping.
A baler-wrapper combination, or combi baler, is a round baler and a bale wrapper in one. First the crop is compressed into consistent and dense bales in the bale chamber. Once ready, the bale is bound with net or film. Next, the bale is transferred onto the wrapping table and is wrapped with stretch film.
A variable bale chamber consists of a combination of fixed rollers and adjustable belts that can grow the chamber from small to large. As a result, a bale is compacted from the core to the desired diameter. The variable concept is very suitable for turning dry crops such as hay and straw into a nice bale with a high density.
A variable baler excels above all in versatility. Baling silage in the morning with a 4-foot diameter, baling smaller bales of hay in the afternoon and making large bales of straw in the evening. It can all be done with the same machine.
Advantages:
Harvesting quickly and cleanly, then preservation in airtight conditions is vital for a high forage quality. This is exactly what a baler wrapper combination does. The harvested crop is baled, bound and wrapped in quick succession, so there is no time to lose dry matter content.
Other benefits are:
High output boosts the profitability of your baling operation. That is why every building block is designed to ensure maximum capacity. Key elements are:
After the bale has left the bale chamber, it is important to maintain the bale density and shape. KUHN's binding techniques offer maximal holding force and optimal bale shape retention. In addition, film binding has many other advantages.
Net binding is the better option for dry crops such as hay and straw. The bale can breathe better because there is no film sealing around it. The KUHN net binding system, with active stretch technology, ensures a firm bale shape with constant high net tension throughout the entire binding cycle.

For silage conditions, film binding is the better option. When binding the bale with film, the extra layers of film around the bale seal the crop in an airtight manner, thus ensuring better preservation and form stability. The development of mold in the bale is limited.
If you purely examine the costs for film and net, then binding bales with film is slightly more expensive compared with using net. But you can more than recoup those extra costs thanks to the many benefits of film binding:
The KUHN film and net binding systems are two separate systems. Switching between the two is quick and easy—you do not have to change rolls and there are no tools needed.
You may take advantage of all the benefits of film binding while greatly lowering your film expenditures thanks to KUHN's patented Twin-Reel film binding. The crucial point is the use of two regular 750 mm stretch-film rolls instead of special wide mantle film, which enables you to use a much higher pre-stretch ratio. This extends the film change intervals by 30% while lowering your film binding expenses by 37%. Additionally, the optional KUHN binding system uses the same film rolls as used for wrapping. This eliminates the need for special wide mantle film, which simplifies your inventory management.
After baling and binding, an optimal and intelligent wrapping process is the secret to getting the highest forage quality. 3D wrapping and IntelliWrap technologies offer the tools to maximize the preservation level and 'seal your profit'.
3D wrapping distributes the total film quantity more uniformly and efficiently across the entire surface of the bale. 3D wrapping will first apply the film where it is most needed: the vulnerable bale shoulders. The cylindrical wrap ensures that more air is excluded and that the bale retains its shape, even after long storage periods.
For good preservation, the number of layers of wrapping film is very important. It should be adapted to the humidity of the crop and the desired storage time. With standard wrapping systems, you can only wrap an even number of layers. But sometimes you need an odd number. With the unique IntelliWrap technology, you can determine exactly what your bale needs with one layer more or less (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...). You don’t waste film and you use just enough to keep feed quality high during bale storage.
In general, baler-wrapper combinations can handle a broad range of crop types, from very wet to very dry and everything in between. Some examples include: silage grass, clover, haylage, hay and straw.
KUHN baler-wrapper combinations require a minimum PTO power of 80 kW / 109 hp. For more information, please consult the specifications on the relevant product pages: VBP 3100 Series/ VBP 3200 Series
All building blocks of the machine are designed to offer the best possible productivity for your business, combined with optimal user-friendliness. The balers feature several hydraulic systems such as rotor disengagement and integrated wrapper adjustment. Pivoting semi-pneumatic pickup wheels are optional.
