Overview


The McHale Fusion Vario is a fully automatic variable chamber integrated baler wrapper, which consists of a high output baler and a vertical wrapping ring. The machine benefits from two unique patents; a patented bale transfer system and a patented vertical wrapping ring.

The Fusion Vario also has the ability to make bales of hay and straw from 0.6m to 1.68m (2′ – 5′ 6 “) but in haylage or silage, it produces bales from 1m to 1.45m  (3′ 3 ” – 4′ 8 “) to allow for wrapping.

 

Advantages of the Fusion Vario


ONE MACHINE

The Fusion Vario provides the operator with the flexibility to produce various size bales without the need to return to the yard to change machines for baling different types of crop over the course of a day. As it is an integrated baler wrapper, only one operator and tractor is required to carry out the task of baling and wrapping which leads to reduced costs in labour.

REDUCED CROP LOSS

The single belt on the McHale Fusion Vario reduces crop loss compared to multiple belts which is particularly beneficial when baling short chopped crops such as alfalfa.

BALE ONLY PROGRAMME

When baling hay or straw, the operator has the ability to carry and place bales in pairs of two for easy collection.

Features

High Speed Transfer System

Features

High Speed Transfer System

The McHale Fusion Vario is a unique machine which benefits from two McHale patents. As the transfer cradle moves the bale towards the wrapping ring, the wrapping roller closest to the bale chamber pivots out of the way which reduces the height the bale has to travel to get to the wrapper. This clever system saves time, as the patented system moves the bale quickly ensuring the McHale Fusion Vario delivers the highest possible output

Features

Wrapping System

Features

Wrapping System

In normal working conditions, the ever efficient wrapping process is always completed ahead of the baler, meaning that the wrapping platform is always ready and waiting to capture the next ejected bale.

Tip Roller

Features

Tip Roller

The McHale Fusion Vario can produce bales of various sizes, from 1–1.45m (3′ 3″–4′ 8″), for wrapping with the high speed vertical wrapping ring. On adjustment of the bale size from the iTouch control console, the patented tip roller adjusts its height in line with the selected bale size to ensure the plastic always goes onto the centre of the bale, regardless of the bale diameter. This ensures the correct overlap is always achieved resulting in an even distribution of plastic on the bale.

Heavy-Duty Pick-Up

Features

Heavy-Duty Pick-Up

The specially designed McHale pick-up is positioned close to the rotor to improve delivery of the crop through the rotor to the bale chamber. Large diameter lateral feed augers help direct crop to the bale chamber ensuring a consistent and even crop flow for producing high density bales

Features

Adaptive Intake

Features

Adaptive Intake
