BiG Pack – The new generation

• High inertia and high speeds for a quiet running system
• Power is transmitted down clutch-protected drive shafts
• No shear pins in the drive train for maximum operator comfort
• Hydraulic starting aid is an option for smooth machine starts

KRONE has always preferred massive flywheels that are able to absorb peak loads and improve the fuel efficiency of such a big baler. All chains have been replaced by gearboxes and driveshafts for optimum efficiency throughout the entire powertrain. You won’t find shear pins on the KRONE BiG Pack drivelines but overload clutches protecting all drives.

Large flywheels prevent bounce and guarantee a quiet running system. The flywheels absorb peak loads and the machine maintains a consistent work rate whilst requiring significantly less tractor power – for more peace of mind, better fuel efficiency and minimum wear.

On start-up, the driveshaft to the BiG Pack is protected by a slip clutch. When there is an overload an automatic cutout clutch is activated protecting the baler effectively from the energy that is stored in the flywheel. The two clutches are located in front of the flywheel for easy access and servicing.

On KRONE big balers, power is transmitted to the packer and the knotters via robust, low-maintenance drive shafts, gears and overload clutches. Buying this technology means buying into dependability and comfort.

The VariCut belt drive, the bale chamber control system and the KRONE PowerClean system have their own hydraulic on-board system so these assemblies do not tap into the tractor’s oil reserve.
