This working method of KNOLL MidiBalers ensures that bales of the best quality can be produced due to direct air exclusion which ensures the best feed quality. In addition, this combined mode of operation ensures economic use of the machine by using only one tractor and operator.

Thoughtful technology and an efficient process ensure the highest possible efficiency. A fully automatic process ensures easy operation.
Know-how from “our own house” which makes working with KNOLL MidiBalers a pleasure!

Compacte constructie
COMPACT DESIGN
The robust but compact construction of a KNOLL MidiFix allows the machine to be used in all conditions. The stable frame guarantees a long service life for the machine. The single-axle construction with large wheels makes the machine particularly maneuverable. The low center of gravity ensures perfect crop pickup by the pickup and excellent maneuverability.
Pick-up voor maximale gewasopname
PICK-UP FOR MAXIMUM CROP INTAKE
Making a good midi bale starts with a good pick-up of the base product. The pick-up of the KNOLL MidiFix with its 4 rows of tines ensures maximum pick-up capacity through its excellent soil adaptation. The steered pick-up with a working width of 1.70 m is equipped with large feed augers on both sides which ensure an optimal material flow to the rotor, even with wide swaths.
Rotorinvoer met snijsysteem
ROTOR FEED WITH CUTTING SYSTEM
A quality product can only be delivered when the crop is cut short and effectively. The rotor feed system of a MidiFix has been developed for optimal feed intake in all conditions. The cutting device is located at the bottom of the rotor. It is possible to work with up to 7 knives. Due to the small distance between the rotor tines and the cutting knives, the crop is cut effectively.
Optimale persdichtheid
OPTIMAL BALING DENSITY
The bale chamber is an important part of the machine. It consists of 14 heavy-duty rollers which rotate on roller bearings. These rollers have a special profile in order to create the highest possible press density. Directly behind the rotor is the special 'front roller', which ensures an optimal rotation of the bale - regardless of the type of crop being pressed.
Wikkelen van de baal
WRAPPING OF THE BALE
The KNOLL MidiFix is equipped with an ingeniously developed wrapping table. This system ensures the movement of the bale from the bale chamber to wrapping position in one smooth motion. The MidiFix is equipped with a double wrapping arm with two 500 mm film stretch units. The automatic film control immediately stops wrapping when there is an empty roll of wrapping film or when the film tears.

FAST & EFFECTIVE BALE TRANSFER SYSTEM

A feature of KNOLL MidiBalers is the rapid movement of the bale from bale chamber to wrapping position. This reduces the time of standing still. The bale transfer system ensures a direct transfer of the bale from the bale chamber to the wrapping position; fast, clean and efficient. The wrapping table in this machine moves by means of a cylinder which is attached to a command steering arm from loading to wrapping and unloading position. At the start of the baling process the wrapping table already moves to the loading position. Upon opening the bale chamber door, the bale then enters the wrapping table directly. From here, the bale moves to the wrapping position, where it is already wrapped a few seconds later. While the wrapping table moves to the wrapping position, the tailgate already closes. Baling can be started immediately. Two bale guiding rollers ensure stable guiding. This guarantees reliable movement of the bale in all conditions and also on sloping terrain.

A MIDI BALE FITS THROUGH ANY DOOR!

A midi bale has characteristics that make this type of bale particularly interesting for the end user. This type of bale is constantly increasing in popularity and has acquired its 'own' place in the market.

1) Low feed rate. Also useful for the small or hobby farmer
2) Small bale size. Less chance of heating and mold
3) Fits through any door. Light weight and easy to move
4) Packaged airtight and dust-free. Wrapped in wrapping film, long shelf life
5) Logistics. Midi bales are easy to move and transport

A midi bale has an average weight of 75-150 kg, depending on the product being processed.

In proportion, one midi bale equals:
3 - 4 small conventional haybales
- 1/3 large round bale

Robuust aandrijfsysteem
Robust drive system
To withstand high loads in difficult harvesting conditions, the MidiFix is equipped with a robust drive system. The feed & bale chamber drive are split into 5 sections with short drive chains. This reduces the load and increases the lifetime. The entire drive line is protected by a cam clutch. With this drive concept, a long service life and smooth work progress are guaranteed.
Modern besturingssysteem
Modern operating system
The control system of a KNOLL MidiFix works fully automatically and relieves the user. The computer is equipped with a 7'' color screen with touchscreen and push buttons. The system with visual process display informs the user about all work steps of the machine. With the camera system, you have a good overview of the work process and the machine.
Progressieve persdrukinstelling
Progressive press pressure control
Due to the high press density, the crop is compacted to a minimum and this ensures shape-retaining midi bales. A KNOLL MidiFix is equipped with a mechanically adjustable baling pressure regulation. When adjusting the press pressure regulation, the position of the press pressure cylinders changes and this increases or decreases the press density. This system has 5 positions which can be adjusted to any type of material.
Dropfloor tegen gewasblokkades
Dropfloor against crop blockages
KNOLL MidiBalers are equipped with automatic central lubrication for the drive chains. This maintenance-friendly system guarantees a long service life for the machine. The oil lubrication system supplies oil to all chains of the bale chamber, rotor and pick-up according to a fixed interval. The oil is distributed evenly over the chains by means of lubrication distributors. The large storage tank ensures long-term availability.
Automatisch oliesmeersysteem
Automatic oil lubrication system
KNOLL MidiBalers are equipped with automatic central lubrication for the drive chains. This maintenance-friendly system guarantees a long service life for the machine. The oil lubrication system supplies oil to all chains of the bale chamber, rotor and pick-up according to a fixed interval. The oil is distributed evenly over the chains by means of lubrication distributors. The large storage tank ensures long-term availability.
Centraal punt vetsmeersysteem
Central point lubrication system
All bearings of the press chamber can easily be provided with grease by the central point lubrication system which is present on the MidiFix. From the central lubrication blocks, grease can be manually pumped into the lubrication lines. In this way, all bearings are equally lubricated, which contributes to a long life of the machine.
Externe bediening wikkelaar
External control wrapper
Important functions of the wrapping system can be easily controlled on the KNOLL MidiFix by the presence of external control functions. This makes it possible and easy to operate or (re)start the wrapper in case of film breakage or an empty roll. This reduces downtime and ensures capacity.
Load Sensing systeem
Load sensing hydraulics
A KNOLL MidiBaler can optionally be equipped with Load Sensing. In this case, the hydraulic control system adjusts the amount of oil to consumption. As a result, various functions are performed simultaneously and fuel consumption is reduced. This is both a conservation for the machine and tractor. Incidentally, the machine can still be used with tractors without Load Sensing pump.
Balenkantelsysteem
Bale side unloading system
The bale sidetipper of a MidiFix ensures that a wrapped bale is placed on its flat side in the field after being unloaded. From the direction of travel, the bale is set down on the left side. The use of the sidetipper makes it possible to easily load the bales at a later stage using a bale clamp.
camera en werklamp
Camera & LED work light
De bewegingen en acties van het wikkelsysteem van een KNOLL MidiFix kunnen makkelijk gemonitord worden door de aanwezigheid van een camera op de machine. Het beeld hiervan wordt getoond in het automatisch werkscherm van de computer. Tevens kan tijdens schemering of gedurende avonden de LED-werklamp eenvoudig ingeschakeld worden via de computer voor extra verlichting.
Wikkelen met één folierol
Operation with one film roll
When a wrapping film roll is empty, the machine stops automatically due to the presence of the film breakage detection system. The user is then given the option of switching on operation with one roll of film. The number of wraps is doubled so that the bale is provided with the correct amount of wrapping film.

Automatisch vetsmeersysteem

Optioneel kan iedere type KNOLL MidiBaler uitgerust worden met een automatisch vetsmeersysteem. Een vetsmeersysteem wordt volgens een vast interval geactiveerd waardoor alle lagers en glijsystemen simpel en doeltreffend gesmeerd worden. 

Dit systeem werkt volautomatisch en bestaat uit pomp met een reservoir van 4 liter inhoud. Vanuit de pomp wordt de juiste hoeveelheid vet verdeeld door middel van verdeelblokken. Vanuit deze verdeelblokken wordt ieder lager van vet voorzien. 

Een automatisch vetsmeersysteem verlengt de levensduur van ”draaiende delen” op de MidiBaler en verzekerd een goede en betrouwbare werking voor een langdurige periode. 

PDH-10 additief doseersyteem

Het volautomatische PDH-10 systeem zorgt voor de beste kwaliteit kuilvoer. Dit systeem is in eigen beheer ontwikkeld.

De pomp is voorzien van een RVS pompunit die bestand is tegen diverse soort ‘zuren en toevoegmiddelen’. Elk soort additief kan automatisch worden toegevoerd gedurende automatische werking van de machine.

Bediening en instellingen van dit PDH-10 systeem zijn geïntegreerd in de software van de machine.  

balenklem voor ronde midibalen

KNOLL produceert ronde balenklemmen welke speciaal ontworpen zijn voor het formaat baal welke met een KNOLL MidiBaler of MultiBaler gemaakt wordt. 

Deze balenklemmen kunnen geleverd worden met diverse aankoppelingen, zodat deze met ieder type voorlader of laadvoertuig te gebruiken zijn. 

Load Sensing hydraulieksysteem

Een KNOLL MidiBaler voorzien van een Load Sensing hydraulieksysteem gaat efficiënt om met de energie welke benodigd is. Een Load Sensing systeem zorgt ervoor dat er enkel olie gevraagd wordt door de machine wanneer dit nodig is. De pomp van de tractor levert nooit meer olie dan door de MidiBaler gevraagd wordt. 

Een Load Sensing hydraulieksysteem zorgt voor een perfecte afstemming tussen tractor en de KNOLL MidiBaler. Dit resulteert in een effectief gebruik van de MidiBaler en voorkomt onnodige warmte ontwikkeling van de olie en onnodig brandstofverbruik.
