Vicon bale wrapping system

The Vicon pre-stretcher
Vicon pre-stretchers provide even film stretch throughout the roll, are easy to operate and require low maintenance.
The unique pre-stretch roller profile keeps the stretched film at its optimum width and results in fewer problems with film tear. The rollers are made of aluminum which avoids the build-up of tack from the film, which can result in overstretch of film and film tear. A special pattern keeps air and water away as the film is being stretched.

Easy change of film rolls
Change of film roll is quick and easy with Vicon pre-stretchers. The empty core is released by pushing the upper handle sideways and up, all in one movement. Locate the new film roll, flick the handle back in position, and the roll is instantly locked. The pre-stretch rollers are kept clear during loading by an easy-to operate lock that automatically releases simply by pushing the lower handle after film roll exchange. Low lifting height of the film rolls is achieved thanks to the low profile design of all Vicon balewrappers.

Wrapping table with large widely spaced rollers
The table is fitted with four endless belts for gentle bale handling even of loose or awkward shaped bales. The two big diameter widely spaced rollers bring the bale deep into the table providing a large contact area on the bale. This ensures even bale rotation for maximum film overlap accuracy and reduces the chances of loose bales breaking up or misshapen bales falling off the table.

Easy and gentle bale handling
With their ingenious low profile design, Vicon bale wrappers avoid the use of unnecessary steel and heavy counter weights, making the design slimmer and lighter - without sacrificing strength! The lower weight reduces soil compaction, which can affect crop yields.
