Lever B : Control cradle rotation This lever allows the cradle rotation to wrap the bale.
Fig.11 – Stretching setting fig.13 – Filmstretching height Fig.12 – Stretching ratios It is always important to know that the stretch ratio of a film is also influenced by such factors as weather, machine operating temperature and humidity. The values given in the table are solely intended as guidelines.
4.4.3 REEL INSTALLATION To install film reel you must to proceed as follows (fig.14): 1- Move the rolls away from the support reel pushing the lever (A). At the end of the stroke the rolls will be coupled up on the stop (B); 2- Push the upper plug (C) towards the top till hooking release.
4.5 FILM OVERLAPPING The bale wrap happens through combination of two movements: first movement along vertical axis rotation, which has given from the cradle, and the other along horizontal axis rotation, which has given from rolls rotation. The ratio between wrapped surface of the bale for every cradle tour and the stretched film height has called film overlapping level (fig.17).
The functioning of holder/cutting device happens 2+2+2 Overlapping as follows: Film height Once wrapped the bale, during lifting of the (mm) cradle for unloading, a system with a cam close the pliers; at this phase the sliding blade Diameter Cradle tours has wound up by device (E) The film has blocked within plugs Used film (m)
