EN | VARIO-Master V140 | Baler-Wrapper Combination | Goeweil

The VARIO-Master is capable of turning a large number of materials including maize, CCM, alfalfa, sugar beet pulp, grain, mixed feed, hemp into perfectly shaped round bales. The variable bale chamber makes it possible to produce highly compacted bales with a diameter of 80 - 140 cm. The seamless work flow provides for maximum compression and quick exclusion of air.

OPTIMAL FEED QUALITY<br />

Every farmer wants to provide their animals with the best-possible feed. Using silage<br />

offers a number of benefits and has become virtually indispensable to modern feeding.<br />

In order to achieve first-rate silage quality, several factors need to be considered. The<br />

high compression of the feed is top priority along with a rapid air-tight seal and a<br />

clean production process. This is all combined to optimal effect by the <strong>VARIO</strong>-<strong>Master</strong><br />

<strong>V140</strong>.<br />

A study by The Agricultural Research and Education Center Raumberg-Gumpenstein<br />

clarifies the difference between the compression of corn silage for bunker silos and<br />

round bales:<br />

"For silage round bales, microbial group 2 is strikingly low (bacteria associated with spoilage:<br />

bacillus, micrococcus, coagulase-negative species of staphylococcus - orientation<br />

value: 200) with values of 6.0 - 6.5 CFU/g. This can be attributed to particularly rapid<br />

anaerobic storage."<br />
