The flagship of the range, the Vicon BW
1800 is a high output satellite wrapper which utilizes the latest
wrapping techniques to raise productivity to new levels. The BW 1800
operates using a clever operating technique rather than relying on
sheer power and weight. Its patented loading system doesn't require
the wrapper to lift the bale. Instead it gently rolls the bale onto
the table, which then tilts to a level position to start wrapping.
This ingenious design allows the wrapper to operate equally well both
behind a tractor and towed behind a baler. The unique 'Inline' layout
of the BW 1800 means that it loads and unloads bales in the same
direction as the baler leaves them, so avoiding the need for the
wrapper to be continuously driven across the swaths when working in
the same field as the baler.
Flexibility combined with high capacity
The BW 1800 is constructed for high capacity wrapping of even the
heaviest bales right up to 1400 kg. All versions of the BW 1800 are
ruggedly constructed with a twin support tower. This guarantees close
and accurate tracking of the satellites around the bale, even in the
roughest field conditions. The BW 1800 is available in both single and
twin satellite versions, with both models utilizing a simple and
effective spur gear satellite drive, giving reduced wear and maximum
reliability.
One man operation
The design of the BW 1800 makes it ideal for operation behind a baler.
All you need is a cable and hose extension kit and a drawbar
connection kit. Combining this option with twin satellites, the BW
1800 becomes a high capacity one-man baling & wrapping rig.
The contractor's choice
The Vicon BW 1800 is well suited to those operators looking
for an easy, high volume, one-man baling and wrapping operation. The
fully automated wrapping process makes things simple for the operator.
The in-cab electronic control of all functions allows perfect handling
whether the machine is used behind the tractor or in-line behind a
baler.
