Features may include:

• The fixed bale chamber produces 1.25 m (4'1") or 1.55 m (5'1") diameter bales

• The variable bale chamber produces 1.00 -1.50 m (3'3"- 4'11") or 1.00 -1.80 m (3'3"- 5'11") diameter bales

• The chain-and-slat elevator handles the most difficult conditions

• The camless EasyFlow pick-up boosts throughput and reduces wear and tear

• The selectable MultiCut cutting system features 17 blades

• Twine tying system for four threads

• The well-proven net wrapping system for even higher throughputs

• Two separate and endless elevators give dependable operation in the most difficult conditions

• A heavy-duty design that copes with very heavy material

A combined grip on the bale: Fortima is equipped with two chain-and-slat elevators, one operating at the front end and the other at the rear to develop high baling pressures and produce perfectly shaped bales.

Stunning simplicity: As more and more material enters the bale chamber, the two chain elevators press layer by layer to form tight and well-shaped round bales. The slats mesh with the crop to provide positive bale rotation at any stage of the baling cycle. The baling pressure is supplied by a hydraulic ram that actuates the tensioners at the front and rear ends. As soon as the bale has reached its preset diameter, twine or net wrapping is triggered. As a last step, the tailgate opens and the bale is ejected.

Carefully designed down to the smallest detail

• Bale density is controlled infinitely variably

• The extra spiral roller speeds up bale starts

Small-diameter bales: Small diameters are typically required in silage applications, because small bales are easier to handle, break up and feed. The 1.00 - 1.30 m (3'3" - 4'3") diameter bales produced by Fortima V 1500 suit most wrappers perfectly.

Large-diameter bales: Large-diameter bales are often preferred in straw and hay as they offer better efficiency, save wrapping material and reduce labour costs.
