The mid-range KUHN RW 1410 is the most versatile self-loading round bale wrapper. The manual version (M) is controlled with 3 cable levers including KBC 30 bale-and-wrap counter and autostop. The computer controlled version (C) provides all the information and possibilities for automatic operation of the entire wrapping process. Standard feature is automatic stop at the end of film or film tear.

The professional KUHN RW 1610 round bale wrapper is ideal for those wrapping operations where high capacity and high efficiency are required. Due to its strong design with low table height and standard large wheels located at the rear, there is no need for an active fall damper. This saves extra process steps and the bale can be unloaded on the go. Constant weight transfer towards the tractor avoids slippage in hilly circumstances. In addition, the RW 1610 can load and carry a second bale in the loading arm during wrapping. The wrapper is equipped as standard with a high-grip film cutter and film roll holder for 2 rolls. The wrapper can be operated via the 3 levers cable control (M version) with standard KBC 30 bale-and-wrap counter and autostop or computer control box (C version).

Excellent, high capacity wrapping

Round turntable

The KUHN round bale turntable wrappers are equipped with two rollers and four wide, spaced belts. This design provides a deep and stable cradle for the bale on the wrapping turntable. The two large bale support rollers provide more stability and guidance. The four belts provide maximum traction and even rotation of the bale. Even bale rotation is vital to ensure the optimal film overlap for conservation and crop quality during storage.

Conical pre-stretchers

The standard pre-stretchers, which hold a 750 mm roll, are made of aluminum to avoid tack build-up from the film. Both outer ends of the aluminum rollers are cone-shaped to maintain the optimum width of the film and reduce the risk of tearing. The special ribbed profile of the aluminum rollers keeps air and water away from the film. The location of the pre-stretchers makes it very easy to change the film rolls. The standard pre-stretch of 70% is reached by a low-maintenance and low-noise gear transmission. An optional 60% pre-stretcher gear kit can be installed to change the standard pre-stretch to 60% to adapt to difficult wrapping conditions.

The outer ends of the aluminum rollers are cone-shaped to maintain the optimum width of the film.

e-TWIN Technology

Besides a standard single stretch application, KUHN offers the unique e-TWIN system for fast, cost efficient and high-quality wrapping.

Unique advantages of e-TWIN:

Save up to 50% on wrapping time
Save up to 8% on film thanks to 90% pre-stretch
Tightly wrapped bales contain less oxygen, which increases forage quality
Extreme tear resistance under all circumstances

e-TWIN uses two standard 750 mm film rolls that rotate simultaneously. This means you halve your wrapping time compared to a single pre-stretch wrapper. With the unique pre-stretcher design, two film layers are pre-stretched and immediately stick together to form one strong laminated layer, allowing to achieve a higher pre-stretch ratio. The conical pre-stretch rollers are positioned in such a way that the two film reels are glued together with 2/3 overlap before they leave the pre-stretcher unit, providing a tear resistant double layer.

Film cutters

Once the desired number of film layers have been applied, the film is held firmly and cut. The well-known “scissor-type” cutters hold and cut the film. Due to its design, the film is caught across the full width. The film is held with a clamp, stretched into one solid string, and then cut before the bale is unloaded. The clamp firmly holds the film ready for the next bale.

A spring-loaded high-grip film cutter holds and cuts the film automatically.

Gentle bale ejection

Low-profile chassis design

The KUHN trailed wrappers feature a unique low-profile design ideal for stability when loading, wrapping or unloading a bale. The rear axle position results in a low table height eliminating the need for an (active) fall dampener. There is constant weight transfer to the tractor that prevents up-and-down movements of the drawbar and prevents tractor wheel slippage when driving uphill with a bale on the table or loading arm. The bale can be dropped on the go for maximum output!

Manual or computer control

The RW 1610 computer-controlled version (C), with integrated patented AUTOLOAD function, has increased overall efficiency and loading and wrapping capacity. The RF remote control with high distance safety control is optional.

Control systems

Two different control systems are available depending on model and driver preferences:

The manual version (M) is controlled with 3 cable levers and comes as standard with the KBC 30 bale-and-wrap counter and autostop. The bale-and-wrap counter counts the film layers and total number of wrapped bales. The autostop function will automatically stop the wrapping table once the total number of film layers have been applied. This transforms a manually controlled wrapper into a semi-automatically controlled wrapper.

The computer-controlled version (C) on the RW 1410 uses a terminal that provides all the information and possibilities for automatic operation of the entire wrapping process. As standard there is automatic stop at the end of film or film tear.

The enhanced RW 1610 computer-controlled version (C), with integrated patented AUTOLOAD function, has increased overall efficiency and loading and wrapping capacity. The RF remote control with high distance safety control is optional.

AUTOLOAD

The enhanced RW 1610 computer-controlled version (C) can load and carry a second bale in the loading arm during wrapping. Thanks to the integrated patented* AUTOLOAD function, the wrapper has an increased loading and wrapping capacity. It enables the operator to fully concentrate on the driving process, while the wrapping process is automatically started once the bale has been detected on the loading arm. Even picking up a second bale with the loading arm for transport, during the wrapping process, is fully automated.

Equipment

Bale turner

Turns bales during ejection, allowing them to be positioned on thei flat side after wrapping for easier handling and transport.

VT 30

The KUHN RW 1610 is controlled by the VT 30 control box and gives full command of your wrapping process. The VT 30, with 3.5” colour touch screen, has a highly user friendly interface with intuitive software. The RF Remote control is optional.

With Process View you are always informed about the current status of your work processes

PROCESS VIEW user interface

Thanks to the PROCESS VIEW user interface on the VT 30 terminal of the RW 1610 you are always informed about the current status of your work processes. The user interface allows you to choose which process is executed automatically or manually, and all processes can be paused at any time.

Drawbar and swivel headstock

The optional cat. 2/3 swivel headstock aids manoeuvrability. As the wrapper is attached further behind the tractor it gives it a larger turning radius in the field, therefore improved comfort during transport. In addition, the drawbar also provides extra storage capacity for the film rolls and has hose guidance for secured and neatly routed hoses. The swivel headstock enables easy coupling with several tractors without having to change the hitches.
