Simple by design, excelling in the field
The new Bellima fixed chamber round baler from Krone
Spelle, 21 Sept 2011. The name says it all - Krone Bellima is a real beauty. The new baler has evolved from the KR 125/130 model, a machine that has proven itself countless times in the past. Simple by design, and operated by a low-hp tractor, the low-maintenance fixed chamber round baler produces rock-hard bales from silage, hay and straw.
Like all Krone round balers, Bellima features the new and camless EasyFlow pick-up, which is mounted right on the rotor discs on either end of the pick-up, a design that eliminates the need for a traditional cam track and hence a major area of wear.
This camless technology provides a number of obvious benefits: Firstly, the machine now has a simpler design after shedding quite a number of moving parts that would be subject to wear and tear. Operators report they noticed a decrease of up to 60% in wear on the new machine. More costs are saved on reduced service and maintenance. In addition, the camless EasyFlow pick-up operates at a 30% higher speed than a standard pick-up with cam and also offers noticeably quieter running.
Bellima is available with a choice of two pick-ups. Bellima F 125 features our camless 1,400mm EasyFlow pick-up (work width to DIN 11220), which is controlled hydraulically and can be locked at the desired depth. The design reduces the gap between the pick-up and the bale chamber to enhance the smooth transfer of the crop and help optimize the intake and maintain a steady flow of crop.
The extra wide EasyFlow pick-up version with packer is standard specification on the Bellima F 130 model, which gives particularly accurate tracking in curves and corners or on sloping terrain and is excellent with gathering wide swaths. Its packer works closely to the four rows of tines, and the starter roller inside the baling chamber provides a smooth and consistent flow of even short material into the machine. Boosting the machine’s filling rate and capacity, the packer is a tremendous boon for the machine’s overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Sharing more than just its exterior styling with Fortima, Bellima also follows Fortima’s interior technical design. For example, it uses the same well-proven chain elevator technology, which has narrowly spaced slats to reduce friction and power loss in order to provide superior bale feed and baling performance. The bale chamber is fully enclosed to minimize fragmentation. As the slats mesh with the material, they give the elevator a better grip for a more positive rotation of the bale – an enormous benefit in very dry or very wet crop. This way, no power is lost to friction, and tractor input is kept low.
Bellima is extremely user-friendly since it uses no electronics at all. The operator starts the twine and net wrap system conveniently and quickly from the tractor’s spool. The net and twine rolls are housed in the front of the machine. The storage compartment offers room for six rolls of twine or two net rolls. The number of net wraps is set on an adjuster and the number of twine wraps is set on a stepped wheel without the use of tools.
Bellima is further evidence of Krone’s long experience in round baler manufacturing. At our Spelle factory, we have been building round balers for more than three decades and have held a market leader position in many countries for quite a number of years. KR 125/130 still ranks among Krone’s ‘legacy balers’ and among the most frequently demanded balers in the second hand market.
