2019 McHale Round Bale Wrappers 991 HIGH SPEED

For the 2010 season, McHale the bale wrapper specialists introduced a new model, the 991 High Speed, a bale wrapper, which can deliver 50% more output.

The McHale 991 high speed bale wrapper sets the pace for efficient and effective round bale wrapping. The 991 high speed bale wrapper features practical design, quality components and precision engineering making the McHale bale wrapping range the first choice for contractors and farmers.

Sales Manager at McHale John Biggins said, Over the last number of years contractors have been asking for a higher output bale wrapper. This demand has come about due to baler output increasing and also the move by some contractors to wrapping bales with six layers instead of four.

We have tested the 991 High Speed against the 991BE (a machine which is recognised in the market place as having an output of 60 bales per hour), for the test we made sure that oil flow and table rotations were the same, what we found was the 991 High Speed could wrap 3 bales while the 991BE could wrap two. Therefore it is fair to say that the 991 High Speed has 50% more output or can wrap 3 bales, while a similar single dispenser machine wraps two.

Features may include:

• The two 750mm aluminium dispensers maintain a consistent stretch, which maximises film usage. The dispenser units consist of two aluminium rollers, which are geared to each other with robust steel gears of different ratios. The two dispensers on the 991 High Speed are stepped so that there is an overlap where the two sheets of plastic come together.

• The lift arm can be activated with the press of a button; this will load the bale and return the lift arm to a position, which is clear of the table before the wrapping cycle starts.

• The McHale hydraulically operated cut and tie system cuts and holds the film in position ready to wrap the next bale. This time saving device eliminates the need to manually reattach the film.

• Film loading is made easy on the machine with the McHale lock and load system. When the operator removes the core of the empty film roll, the top roller locks in the open position, when the new roll is loaded the operator simply pulls the cord, at which point the top roller is released and locks the roll in position.
