After the autumn harvest, farmers most often carry out the preparation of feed for livestock in order to ensure its normal nutrition in the winter. This process is time-consuming and can take a lot of time if dry grass is harvested manually. To speed up the harvesting work, special mechanized devices are used, for example, the PRF-110 baler, which can significantly reduce energy consumption and time for fodder harvesting.
Appointment of technology
Considering the model PRF-110, it is worth noting that it is used to collect dry grass and create compressed briquettes from it (rolls or bales). This form is convenient for transportation and subsequent storage. The machine is used for harvesting natural grasses or sowing types. The main condition that must be observed during operation of the device is the use of the PRF-110 baler to collect only dried grass. In addition, it is pre-knocked into rolls.
Also on the modern agricultural machinery market you can find not only the classic model, but also the upgraded version - the round baler PRF-110 B. The main difference is the presence of a special adjustment system. This additional device allows the operator to control the operation of the unit using a working processor. The equipment itself is equipped with a press chamber, where dry grass is constantly pressed. When the bale is fully formed, it is secured with twine, and then displayed outside.
Construction device
To ensure the proper functioning of such a unit, so that there are no problems requiring repair, it is worth familiarizing yourself with its design before using the device. It includes:
- the forehead, which consists of a shaft, a gearbox, as well as a container where the twine is placed, which is used for winding;
- a pick-up made on the basis of a drive shaft and a coupling;
- a straw compaction chamber;
- wheel drive;
- a hydraulic system that pushes already formed rolls;
- electronic part.
The meaning of the whole device is to raise and feed hay into the bale chamber during the movement. After that, dry grass or straw enters the drum. This part is mounted on a wheelbase and, in addition to it, a pressing chamber is mounted, which consists of such zones:
- The front part, where the drive shaft is located, as well as the arrow to determine the level of sealing.
- The back of the driven shaft.
A special pressing device, which has the form of a chain-slat conveyor, is installed around the entire circuit of the chamber. Such a mechanism is driven by a drive shaft. The main objective of this element is to spin dry grass / straw, with the transformation of the material into a bale.
The basic principle of agricultural machinery
The process of applying the round baler PRF-110 on the field looks like this:
- The equipment is connected to a tractor, which begins to pull it along. This is necessary so that the hay can go directly to the picker itself.
- Then the material goes directly to the drum and then to the press. Due to the fact that the whole mechanism moves in a circle, the hay first rises, but then falls due to the shape of the camera, which leads to curling.
- Further, upon receipt of dry grass, the created roll gradually increases in size. With a gradual increase in mass on the roll, the arrow, designed to control the density, moves away. As soon as she reaches a certain position, there will be a signal about the readiness of the bale.
- At the last stage, the twine / briquette is strapped. Upon completion, the hydraulics open the lid, and the finished bale rolls outward, remaining in the field.
Advantages of the PRF-110 baler
The wide distribution of such a model of the baler is due to the large number of advantages that it has:
- Loss of dry grass is greatly reduced due to the presence of a closed press chamber.
- A loose structure forms inside the bale, while the outer layer will be much denser. This allows you to maintain normal air exchange, which increases the safety of the material and its safety for animal health.
- The built-in automatic control system allows a person to regulate all the basic processes of hay / straw harvesting.
- Thanks to electrical equipment, almost the entire workflow is automated, which only increases the efficiency of the use of technology.
- When harvesting feed, the operator has a wide viewing angle, which allows you to skip any areas with dry grass.
- Due to the presence of the chain pressing mechanism, the technician is characterized by high reliability, durability, as well as reliability even during prolonged work on the field.
- Easy to use, that is, the baler has a clear operating principle and adjustment.
- Good parts availability. If any of the nodes of the mechanism stops working, it is possible to quickly buy spare parts.
Specifications
Consider the main technical characteristics of the baler PRF-110:
- Overall dimensions of the equipment - 383 × 230 × 210 cm.
- Briquettes and rolls that are created by technology have a length of 120 cm and a width (diameter) of 110 cm.
- Agricultural machinery can be safely attributed to semitrailer models.
- The weight of finished straw bales reaches 130 kg and a roll of hay - up to 200 kg.
- The maximum speed is up to 12 km / h.
Cost of technology
On average, in the modern agricultural machinery market, the price of such an aggregate ranges from 330-450 thousand rubles, it directly depends on the characteristics of the PRF-110 baler and the region of sale. However, for this money you can get a reliable unit for collecting and packing hay, which will last a long period of time.
The modern baler PRF-110 from the Belarusian manufacturer is a high-quality device that allows for long and voluminous work.
