Two technologies from KUHN are combined to create the VBP 3200 series variable baler-wrapper combination. These baler-wrapper combinations begin with a VB 3260 or 3290 variable chamber baler with an OPTICUT INTEGRAL ROTOR and merge it with an innovative wrapping system.

The KUHN VBP 3200 series offer high versatility all year round. The baler-wrapper can be equipped with the patented KUHN TWIN-reel film binding system, which makes the machine even more versatile in silage conditions. This unique 2-reel film binding system ensures the highest silage quality at the lowest costs. A perfect bale seal for high-quality bale preservation is created when combining film binding with both 3D wrapping and INTELLIWRAP. Perfectly shaped and dense bales are produced by the PROGRESSIVE DENSITY bale chamber.
Operator comfort and maximum control are guaranteed using the PROCESS VIEW user interface on the ISOBUS controller.

INTEGRAL ROTOR Technology

The entire VBP range is equipped with our INTEGRAL ROTOR Technology. This simple, maintenance-free intake system guarantees an enormous throughput capacity at all times. The short distance between the rotor and pick-up tines maintains consistent crop flow. The design of this force-fed intake makes higher forward speeds possible for increased productivity and reduced crop damage. The INTEGRAL ROTOR has rotor tines made out of HARDOX® wear plates. HARDOX combines extreme hardness and toughness to reduce rotor tine wear. Longer wearing life of the rotor tines will help to provide time and money savings for the operator.
The short distance between rotor and pick-up tines maintains consistent crop flow.

OPTICUT Rotors

KUHN OPTICUT (OC) cutting rotors are designed for unlimited intake capacity and excellent cutting quality. OC cutting rotors, with patented* elliptical-shaped rotor tines, are acknowledged by users as one of the best cutting systems on the market. The silage is guided and drawn down to the knives from an early stage which improves flow and cutting performance while requiring minimal force - this also prevents unwanted blockages.
OPTICUT 14
The INTEGRAL ROTOR, with the 14-knife OPTICUT system, is designed to even out the swath and force-feed the crop into the baler for maximum throughput. The 14-knife OPTICUT cutting system provides a theoretical cutting length of 70 mm. Each single knife is spring-protected against damage from foreign objects. With GROUP SELECTION, the operator can choose to have 0, 4, 7, 7, or 14 knives in operation.
OPTICUT 23
The INTEGRAL ROTOR with the 23-knife OPTICUT system has the benefits of intensive cutting and mechanical protection. The 23-knife OPTICUT system provides a theoretical cutting length of 45 mm. Each single knife is spring-protected against damage from foreign objects. With GROUP SELECTION, the operator can choose to have 0, 7, 11, 12, or 23 knives in operation.
GROUP SELECTION enables easy knife changing and improved driver comfort.

DROPFLOOR & Rotor disengagement

The floor and knives can be hydraulically lowered from the tractor cab in the case of a rotor blockage. After the blockage is cleared, they can easily be brought back into work position.
In extreme circumstances, double security is provided by a standard rotor disengagement clutch. Both the rotor disengagement and DROPFLOOR technology ensure a fast clearance in case of a blockage and enables you to quickly continue your baling operation.
Both the rotor disengagement and DROPFLOOR technology ensure a fast clearance in case of a blockage

Fully automatic rotor deblock system

The baler's overload protection clutch activates whenever the baler's intake gets obstructed by the amount of crop being fed in. The DROPFLOOR automatically lowers and the knives are retracted. The operator is informed about the ongoing process via the terminal. After the PTO is re-engaged, the rotor restarts and the crop is guided unobstructed into the bale chamber, the DROPFLOOR and knives automatically return to their position.

Consistent, firm round bales

Progressive density increases belt tension as the bale grows

PROGRESSIVE DENSITY

The PROGRESSIVE DENSITY system increases the bale’s densityas the bale grows. The belt tensioning arm is subjected to steadilyincreasing resistance from two hydraulic cylinders and a springtensioner. The result is a very firm bale with a moderate core – nottoo soft, not too hard. With a tougher outer layer, straw bales willbe more tolerant to bad weather conditions, while silage bales willmaintain their shape for improved stacking and easier handling.

PROGRESSIVE DENSITY PLUS

VBP 3200 series balers are standard equipped with PROGRESSIVEDENSITY PLUS. This pressure boosting system for the belttensioning arm provides 10% higher density in dry crops.

Fast, perfect bale formation

The 5 belt, 3 roller design of the VBP 3200 Series bale chamber ensures fast, consistent bale formation. The aggressive profile of the top chamber roller improves crop contact and reduces crop loss. The front segment of the baler is fitted with a large smooth roller and driven cleaning roller that prevents crop build up at the front of the machine. The unique mix of the KUHN PROGRESSIVE DENSITY system and smart bale chamber design guarantees perfect bale formation every time.
A BEKA-MAX continuous chain oiling system allows individual adjustment of the amount of oil on each chain. The sturdy and wide oil brushes on the chains ensure perfect lubrication.

Fast and reliable bale transfer

To minimise idle time and maximise output, a rapid bale transfer is required. The VBP features a quick tailgate operation and a bale transfer system with two loading arms. The first loading arm brings the bale to the back and immediately afterwards the tailgate can close. While the tailgate is closing, the second loading arm places the bale on the wrapping table. The side guide protection plates ensure a rapid and secure bale transfer even when working in steep or sloping fields. The 4-belt wrapping table with 2 large rollers and 4 side cones provide maximum bale traction, even bale rotation and proper film overlap, regardless of the bale shape.
The improved 'twin loading fork' system offers a fast and reliable bale transfer

Excellent binding &wrapping

Two regular 750mm stretch-film rolls binding a bale

KUHN TWIN-reel film binding system

The KUHN patented film binding system uses two regular 750 mm stretch-film rolls. This eliminates the need for special wide film, which simplifies your inventory management. Film binding improves the silage quality, bale shape, stability and opening of the bale. Using regular wrapping film enables you to use a much higher pre-stretch ratio compared to conventional wide film binding systems. This reduces your film binding costs by up to 37%. The stretched film, with tack between the layers, can withstand damages without the risk of bursting bales or sliding of the film during baler-to-wrapper bale transfer. KUHN TWIN-reel film binding extends the film change intervals by another 30%. Thanks to the limited weight per roll (not more than 27 kg), the rolls are easy to handle. This, combined with the low lifting height and the user-friendly film roll system, makes the exchange of film rolls an easy job. The film and net binding systems are two separate systems, which enable the operator to carry both film and net at the same time. Switching between the two is quick and easy – you don’t have to change rolls and there are no tools needed.

Guaranteed binding start

The starting string of the film ensures secure binding and a reliable start-up in all circumstances, resulting in minimum downtime. Regardless of rain or hilly terrain, the binding will start. The two strings of film ensure the binding material is applied on top of the bale. It is not neccesary to feed some extra material in the chamber at this point. From being pulled in as a string, the film quickly reaches the full width of the bale. Another film saving compared to a conventional wide mantle film system!
The starting string of the film ensures secure binding and a reliable start-up in all circumstances

Constant net tension & optimal air exclusion

The net binder with active stretch technology ensures a firm bale shape maintaining a constant net tension throughout the entire binding cycle. The net is fed into the front of the bale chamber to ensure it is taken by the bale immediately. The net roll can be loaded from the side of the machine and pushed into place via a roller for operator ease.

KUHN’s innovative design maintains constant net tension during the binding process. The net wrap system runs at a lower speed than the bale’s rotational speed to be able to consistently stretch the net up to 10% without breaking it. The pre-stretched net results in a bale that will hold its density.

The net binding system spreads the net to the corners of the bale to prevent air pockets once the bale is wrapped, which will preserve the forage quality for longer.
Active stretch technology ensures a firm bale shape with constant net tension.

INTELLIWRAP System

For good preservation, the number of layers of wrapping film is very important. It should be adapted to the dry matter content 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.
With the unique INTELLIWRAP technology you can determine exactly the required number of film layers needed.

3D wrapping

KUHN’s 3D wrapping is an intelligent and innovative way of applying stretch film to round bales. It 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.

Use of both INTELLIWRAP and 3D wrapping provides well-shaped, tightly sealed bales that will maintain silage quality over long storage periods.
