Taarup BIORound Bale Processor

Compact machine with excellent manoeuvrability

The Taarup BIO is a fully integrated baler

and wrapper combined in a very compact

solution. It allows you to bale and wrap

round bales in one operation, saving time

and not least money. Thanks to this

unique wrapping solution, the Taarup BIO

maintains high overall capacity levels.

The bale is wrapped while still in the

baling chamber, without any additional

operations in between. This ensures that

the bale is sealed immediately, providing

the best basis for first class silage and

minimising the risk of nutrient loss.

Bale and wrap in one operation

The Taarup BIO - a compact high-capacitysolution.

Low weight minimum ground impactThe Taarup BIO sets a new standard forsilage making. Its highly compact and light-weight design features a fully integratedbaler and wrapper in the same chamber.

Excellent overview during operationThe Taarup BIO allows excellent visual

monitoring due to its compact design. The

control box allows the driver to monitor the

entire baling and wrapping process. The

upper part of the baling chamber hood is

raised during wrapping, giving the driver

an excellent view of the wrapping process

and subsequent bale tipping. If a larger

tractor is used in combination with Taarup

BIO, it is even possible to see over the

machine when reversing.

Control box for ultimate comfortThe Taarup BIO gives reliable control over

the entire machine. Functions such as

the number of film layers, amount of net,

cutter-unit, pick-up and bale counter can

all be easily set and monitored from the

control box.

With a total weight of only 3250 kg, theTaarup BIO causes minimum ground impact.

Instant wrapping yields optimum silage qualityCompared to conventional baler and wrappercombinations, the Taarup BIO provides for optimum silage quality. During the wrappingprocess the bale stays in the baling chamber,ensuring that it does not expand, so minimisingthe amount of air trapped in the bale.

The Taarup BIO provides for optimum silage qualityWith Taarup BIO, the bale is wrapped with

stretch film whilst still in the baling cham-

ber. With a conventional baling/wrapping

system the bale tends to expand when

being transferred from the baling chamber

to the wrapping table. Immideate wrapping

and closing of the bale ensures optimum

fermentation.

The Taarup BIO ensures betterbales Bales produced by the Taarup BIO have

considerable higher density than bales

made with competing systems. Bales

made with the Taarup BIO will retain their

diameter of 1.25 m. By contrast, conven-

tional bales contain a higher volume of

air and requires a greater quantity of

stretch film due to their larger diameter.

5

The Taarup BIO has a fixed round bale

chamber with a pick up width of 2.10 m.

This wide pick up ensures a uniform

flow of material into the baler. The con-

trol box informs the driver when the

bale is finished, and ready for wrapping.

Once the upper part of the baling chamber

is raised, the bale is ready for immediate

wrapping. The Taarup BIO comprises a

very fast wrapping solution featuring two

integrated prestretchers. They ensure the

high overall capacity level of the machine

despite having to remain stationary

during the wrapping process. After

wrapping, the lower part of the baling

chamber is lowered allowing the bale

to rolls gently to the ground.

Good manoeuvrability

The Taarup BIO has a lightweight design

and a total weight of only 3250 kg. This

produces less soil compaction, and

removes the need for a high powered

tractor, thus reducing fuel consumption.

This compact, lightweight and agile

machine is highly manoeuvrable and

is suitable for smaller fields, easily

negotiating awkwardly corners. Its

compact design makes turning in the

field, or reversing very easy, ensuring

high efficiency during operation.

The Taarup BIO is ideal for working on

hill slopes with steep gradients. The light-

weight design makes it possible to use the

same tractor requirements as for a normal

baler.

Easy turning on headlands with TaarupBIO makes it a perfect machine forsmaller fields.

The Taarup BIO is perfect on hill slopeseven with smaller tractors due to its lowweight.

Negotiating an uphill slope.

The bale maintains the correct positionin the chamber.

The Taarup BIO s compact design ensuresaccess through narrow gates where largermachines might have problems.

A hydraulic lever ensures that bales are tipped onto the flat side, even onhill slopes.

Even on hill slopes or in smaller fields, the Taarup BIO’sexcellent manoeuvrability makes it the perfect solution.

The 2.10 m wide pick-up ensures smoothfeeding of even the largest swaths. The 14-blade cutter unit increases theamount of material in each bale by up to 25%.

Low-friction plates that significantlyreduce power consumption are availableas an option.

A spiral-formed springloaded armsmoothly binds the netting across thefull width of the bale. The net roll can be easily replaced using the specialsupporting chain.

Well-compressed balesThe Taarup BIO features a fixed chamber

baler with a bale diameter of 2.10 m.

Its 18 steel rollers, each with a diameter

of only 190 mm, produce excellent bale

compaction, and reduce the amount of air

trapped inside. The baling system offers

very reliable performance even in extreme

conditions.

The baling chamber s 18 steel rollers are

made of 3 mm-thick steel, giving tremen-

dous stability and reliability.

The strong ball bearings can be greased

through easily accessible greasing points.

‘Wrapping ring’The wrapping ring, fitted with two Taarup

pre-stretchers, is well balanced, and runs

on four supports. The quick start-up and

slowdown ensure fast wrapping. The wrap-

ping ring is positioned close to the bale,

minimising the amount of trapped air.

Wrapped in 15 seconds!From the moment the cover is opened, it

only takes 15 seconds to produce a bale

wrapped with 6 layers of film with a 50%

overlap. The wrapping ring ensures very

high speed meaning that even though the

machine has to remain stationary during

wrapping, it maintains excellent efficiency

and high output.

High-speed wrappingThe Taarup BIO features two pre-stretchers attachedto a specially designed ring. The pre-stretchersrotate around the bale at very high speed and ensurefast and efficient bale wrapping. The wrapping speedis considerably higher than conventional satellitewrapping equipment and is the key to achieving the high overall capacity level of the Taarup BIO.

Full control of film overlapThe base of the baling chamber, on which

6 rollers are mounted, is used as table

during the wrapping process to ensure

precise bale rotation.

The rollers are closely synchronised with

the two pre-stretchers ensuring a constant

50% film overlap during wrapping, which

is essential for producing optimum silage

quality. The control box keeps the driver

informed about the number of film layers

during the entire wrapping process.

Bale held in positionDuring the wrapping operation the bale

is held in the correct position by support

rollers. This ensures that the bale remains

in position even on hill slopes and pre-

vents any wear and tear caused by high

friction contact between the film and the

steel sides of the machine.

Gentle unloading to avoid damage on thewrapped bale.

The lower part of the baler chamber isused as wrapping table to ensure precisebale wrapping.

Film rolls are changed by pushing a handle and removing the empty core.Insert the new film roll and flick the handle back into position.

The Taarup BIO can be supplied with anaccessory to ensure continuous wrappingeven if a film breaks or only a single filmroll is left.

Bale wrapping is even possible on hillslopes because the bale is held firmly in position relative to the wrapping ring.

Careful unloading

10

After wrapping it is highly recommended

that the bales are placed on the flat side

with the highest number of film layers.

Taarup offers a bale turner for the BIO,

which is an efficient system that carefully

turns the bale.

A rubber fall mat for additional protection of the bale is available as an option.

The optional bale turner tips the balesoff carefully and gently without

damaging them. The lower part of thewrapping table is lowered and the bale

is easily tipped off and turned by thebale turner.
