In conventional bale wrapping the wrapping film is distributed unevenly on the bale. This adds many more layers on the center of the flat side of the bale, than at the edges and the round side. This is because the flat side gets a layer every time the wrapper passes by, but the edges don’t. Typically, to lay 6 layers on the whole bale, the area shown in the ring gets 26 layers.
The Wrapsave bale wrapper distributes the wrapping film much more evenly. The edges get more film and the center of the flat side of the bale gets less film than before. The new method puts the same 6 layers on the whole bale, but only 12 layers inside the ring as seen below.
The secret is to add the wrapping film diagonally onto the bale. The concept is simple but different from everything else. It is put into practice by the experienced development team at Orkel AS, widely known for their long history of baling technology since the 1980s.
This method can be used on both single wrappers and integrated in balers, known as combi balers or baler-wrapper combinations. The method is put into practice on a single wrapper, with lots of exciting solutions for great usability like automatic levelling in hilly conditions. It has already been used in various fields in Norway, wrapping hundreds of bales.
The work is revolutionary and has resulted in patents and patents pending for the core technology in Wrapsave.
