2024 Kuhn OWS 6500

The KUHN OWS 6500 inline round and square bale wrapper offers exceptional wrapping productivity, while minimizing film and fuel use. The OWS 6500 has the ability to quickly wrap 3’x3’ and 3’x4’ large square bales, up to 6 feet in length, and 4- and 5-foot round bales up to 6 feet in diameter.

With the OptiWrap® OWS 6500, KUHN now offers the ability to inline wrap both round and square bales. The OWS builds on previous wrapper technology, and offers exceptional wrapping productivity, while minimizing film and fuel use. The OWS 6500 has the ability to quickly wrap 3’x3’ and 3’x4’ large square bales, up to 6 feet in length, and 4- and 5-foot round bales up to 6 feet in diameter.

Features may include:

• Forty years of KUHN wrapping heritage have proven these pre-stretchers in various conditions around the world. The standard pre-stretchers, which each hold a 30” (750 mm) roll, are made of aluminum to avoid build-up of tack from the film. Both outer ends of the aluminum rollers are cone-shaped to maintain the optimum width of the film and reduce the risk of film tear on the edges. The special ribbed profile of the aluminum rollers keeps air and water away from the film. The location of the pre-stretchers makes it very easy to change the film rolls. The standard pre-stretch of 70% is reached by a low-maintenance and low-noise gear transmission.

• Greater management and control of the wrapping process can be achieved by our unique IntelliWrap system. IntelliWrap uses simple electronics and efficient hydraulics to control the wrapping process and allows the operator to easily adjust film layers by one-layer increments. Settings such as film layers, seam layers, bale width and loading gap can digitally be set from the VT 30 monitor. Additionally, IntelliWrap records the bale count and the settings used for ten individual jobs, resulting in easy record keeping or billing for custom operators.

• The OWS 6500 features a standard 13-horsepower Honda iGX engine that automatically adjusts between high, medium and low idle depending on load, saving fuel. This wrapper also includes a priority hydraulic flow divider that controls the plunger and hoop drive together to rapidly feed bales into the wrapper, maximizing bales per hour. The priority hydraulic flow divider increases productivity and fuel savings by automatically adjusting the hoop and plunger speed depending on the number of film layers selected. Optimally allocating flow between the hoop and plunger, as film layers change, maximizes the hydraulic system performance and efficiency.

• The OWS is equipped with a standard hydraulic propulsion and steering system.

• The KUHN OWS features BaleEye, a sensor, that detects when a bale is present on the loading platform, triggering the plunger and hoop cycle. Conveniently increase the loading delay via the monitor to give the operator more time to load the bale or decrease the delay to increase productivity. With this photoelectric solution the operator does not have to worry about this component wearing out, being affected by loose debris or not being able to detect odd-shaped bales as with competitive mechanical sensors.

• The OWS 6500 features two propulsion wheels for optimal hoop traction in adverse conditions. Non-pneumatic drive wheels, made of industrial-grade polymer, are maintenance free and never go flat. Additionally, these drive wheels are designed with a concave surface, which partially surrounds the hoop, improving hoop stability and traction.
