Developed at the Kverneland Group’s baler centre at Ravenna, Italy, FastBale claims to be both the world’s only non-stop fixed-chamber baler and the only non-stop fixed-chamber baler-wrapper combination.
The machine boasts a double-chamber system, with the first chamber completing two thirds of the bale. It then passes on to the second chamber where the bale is completed and net wrap is applied. The arrangement of the chambers in series mean that several rollers can be shared. The tailgate is opened and the bale is transferred on to the wrapper. The three stages in the process allow the baler to remain constantly on the move.
To make bale transfer simple and reliable, the engineers devised a wrapper frame mounted on a parallel linkage. This enables the wrapper to be lowered to meet the completed bale as it simply rolls from the main chamber. Kverneland claims this avoids the need for a complex mechanical transfer system.

The machine is fitted with twin satellite arms. The wrapping sequence travels over and under the bale, reducing the length of the machine. Once complete, the wrapper is lowered and the rear wrapper roller is then raised, releasing the wrapped bale on to the ground. Kverneland also says the FastBale is shorter than any other baler-wrapper combination on the market.
