Baler farm machinery use many kinds of bearings
1. Double row angular contact ball bearing
2. Special bearing for baler agricultural machinery
3. Insert bearing
4. Pillow block bearing
5. Mounted ball bearing unit
6. Spherical Roller Bearing
7. Hub bearing unit
8. Deep groove ball bearing
A baler or hay baler is a piece of farm machinery used to compress a cut and raked crop (such as hay, cotton, flax straw, salt marsh hay, or silage) into compact bales that are easy to handle, transport, and store. Often, bales are configured to dry and preserve some intrinsic (e.g. the nutritional) value of the plants bundled. Different types of balers are commonly used, each producing a different type of bale – rectangular or cylindrical, of various sizes, bound with twine, strapping, netting, or wire.
Industrial balers are also used in material recycling facilities, primarily for baling metal, plastic, or paper for transport. And so many baler farming machinery manufacturer in the world like:
- AGCO baler
- Ward baler
- Karas baler
- Foton baler
- NEWHOLLAND baler
- Kuhn baler
- enolos baler
- Sinobaler'
- STAR baler
The process of converting windrows of crop into bales, necessitates the pickup of crop, compacting and wrapping inside the bale chamber and ejection of the completed bale Much of this processing relies on rollers and for a square baler, a reciprocating plunger, so multiple bearings are required to produce an effective as well as a precise baling process
Application challenges
Baling can impose heavy loads on the machine components, which is why it is essential that the bearings can sustain these stresses It is also of great importance that at the same time, the bearings can exclude dust and crop wrap to minimize the time required for maintenance and service
•Many bearings exposed to heavy loads
•Dust and crop wrap
•Improving precision, and bale quality
•Increasing productivity
If the support bearings are not designed for these kinds of conditions, it can easily lead to damage and early life failure Such events can lower productivity, increase mainte- nance costs and reduce overall profitabilit
Typical conditions for baler applications
Operates with exposure to crop wrap and dust, in dry hay conditions and with higher moisture conditions when baling silage
Working environment of baler application
Operate in dry hay and Baled Silage, exposed to crop packaging and dust
Baler application solutions
Among the many products specially developed for harsh environments, easier offers its plug-in bearings (no re lubrication, fast and easy to install), a range of radial ball and roller bearings
-- Reduce maintenance and ownership costs
-- Prevent oil contamination of crops, soil or groundwater supply
