Instruction for Using Bale Wrap Net
Care of Bale Wrap Net
Store the rolls indoors, away from moisture, chemicals, and exposure to extremely low or high temperatures.
Keep the rolls in the original packaging until usage.
Check that cardboard cores of the rolls are dry and not swollen or damaged.
Baler
Clean the baler and remove all rust before baling.
Check and clean any snagging points in all parts of the baler which may tear the net.
Inspect each roller to check they are not damaged by stones or broken tines.
Check rollers are adjusted correctly and fully parallel to give a uniform pull of the net when feeding.
Sharpen knives correctly and frequently and ensure knives are clean and undamaged.
Adjust the brakes to achieve proper tension of the net. Check the braking system regularly.
Check that the tailgate, belts, and chamber rollers are not damaged.
Comply with the machine maintenance instructions and check all relevant parts.
Baling
Feed the crop evenly, from side to side.
Make sure the net is tight on the roll.
The net should always be on the outside of the bale.
Bale shape should be uniform and flat across its surface.
Make sure the net is cut clearly, to avoid loose threads.
The bale should be ejected from the baler immediately when the tailgate is opened, to avoid any damage on the bale surface that spinning rollers in the chamber may cause.
For over-edge, use nets specially designed for this purpose, otherwise, the lines will spread too wide and the bales may burst.
Storage of Bales
The curved surface, which is covered by the net, should face East-West. The circular plane surfaces should face North-South, to allow for more sunlight to aid in drying.
Do not stack bales directly on the ground.
When bales are stored for more than one season, consider indoor bale covers or indoor storage.
Beware of the side forces on walls with stacked bales. Don’t stack bales under leaky roofs.
Adequate space between stacked bales improves ventilation and airflow.
