Within the new Comprima Plus range, there are four models on offer – two variable chamber units and two semi-variable chamber units.

The updated models are fitted with Krone’s EasyFlow 2.15m camless pickup with its helical tine arrangement. This arrangement is set to optimise crop distribution across the 530mm diameter Hardox rotor.

The range offers 17 or 26 knife chopping units providing a theoretical chop length from 128mm to 42mm. Rotor tines are also helically arranged to promote even feeding of crop into the baler chamber.

Within the chamber, the firm’s NovaGrip belt and slat system now has larger, sturdier chains and sprockets. The NovaGrip belt has been beefed up from 115mm to 147mm in semi-variable models and from 90mm to 115mm in variable chamber models. The baler’s driveline is also more heavy duty, being fitted with 38mm chains compared to the previous 32mm chains. Units are supplied as standard with automatic chain and bearing lubrication systems. The firm believes these upgrades deliver higher bale density.

Bale size is manually adjusted in 5cm increments on semi-variable models by the moving two pins at the chamber’s rear. Plastic film can also be applied to the bale once formed as well as standard conventional net wrapping.

Bale density on variable chamber models can be controlled from the cab at the press of a button while bale diameter can also be read from the baler’s terminal.

Comprima Plus Combi

The combination baler wrapper unit is now equipped with a new twin-dispenser wrapping system capable of wrapping at 36rpm. A new transfer system transfers bales using gravity with the aid of lifting mechanism on to the wrapping table. Under the baler’s side panels, there is space for 12 rolls of film while the rear of the baler sees ample space for accessing its chamber. Larger wheels are now compatible, accommodating rim sizes of 22.5in. All machines are Isobus-ready as standard. CCI Isobus terminals are also available as an option. The Comprima can also be optionally fitted with Tractor implement management (TIM). This system exchanges data between tractor and baler via Isobus which can then automatically control the tractor’s functions such as stopping forward movement to net the bale.

The new twin dispenser wrapper unit operates at 36rpm.
