More robust than ever.

ROLLANT 520

ROLLANT 520

Bales everywhere.

Robustness and reliability under the toughest operating conditions have made the ROLLANT the best-selling silage baler in the world. Reinforced rollers, intelligent chain lubrication and the optional MAXIMUM PRESSURE SYSTEM II (MPSII) in the tailgate ensure that it stays that way.

MAXIMUM PRESSURE SYSTEM II for the ROLLANT 520.

  • 3-roller segment with two large, adjustable springs
  • Excellent value for money for denser bales
  • Softer or harder bales as needed
  • Perfect bale shape even in difficult conditions

The steel roller bale chamber with MPS is your guarantee of rock-hard bales with high core compaction. That’s because of the extra pressure delivered by MPS, the pivoting 3-roller segment in the ROLLANT tailgate. At the start of the baling process, the three MPS rollers project into the bale chamber. During the process, the rollers are then pushed up into their end position by the bale as it increases in size.

 

The benefits for you: The bale rotates right from the start and is compacted already from a diameter of 90 cm. With the pressure freely adjustable from 60 to 120 bar, the end result is perfectly compacted, high-density bales – even at high ground speeds.

High pressure with particularly robust steel rollers.

For quality forage, crops need to be compacted quickly into high-density bales. In the ROLLANT, this is done with highly robust steel rollers with profile webs, which ensure an active crop feed. As a result, the crop is pressed into firm, round bales with excellent shape retention even in damp conditions. All bearings and drive shafts are designed for this baler’s high power and throughput.

Hydraulic pressure control.

The locking mechanism via a hydraulic ram enables the tailgate to adjust to and lightly resonate in line with the rising pressure as the bale size increases. The bale is able to rotate at all times, and the baling process is neither slowed down nor inhibited in any way.

 

Opening and closing in record time.

The double-acting hydraulic rams are highly responsive to ensure that you are able to open and close the tailgate extremely speedily from the tractor cab.

 

At a glance.

  • Axle screwed onto the 15-mm-thick end plates
  • Ribbed profile for perfect bale rotation even in wet harvesting conditions
  • Continuous, laser-welded baling roller walls for increased stability of the baling roller
  • Forged axle for greater stability
  • Bale chamber diameter of 1.25–1.35 m

Smooth crop flow.

The cam controlled pick-up adjusts to any ground contours, even at high working speeds and while negotiating curves. Large guide wheels with tool-free adjustment keep you safely on track at all times.

Easy unloading.

Blockages in the intake can be cleared quickly and easily by reversing the rotor mechanically using the rotor lever. The optionally available hydraulic rotor unblocking unit can be activated from the cab and allows the baler to be driven right up to its performance limits without any problems.

 

  • With a working width of 2.10 m, the pick-up easily captures even very wide swaths.
  • The ingenious pick-up design and location reduce forage losses and contamination.
  • The crop flow remains consistent even in curves and at high speeds.
  • Roller crop presses and a baffle plate increase the throughput even further.

Maximum crop flow output: ROTO FEED.

The rotor blades of the feed rotor are arranged in dynamic helixes to ensure uniform intake and efficient throughput. The system is particularly well-suited to delicate types of forage such as alfalfa. The helical arrangement protects crops and produces top-quality forage.

ROTO CUT – a fine 70-mm cut.

The ROTO CUT feed system runs at over 7,000 chops per minute. Four rows of tines gather in the crop evenly through the knives. The crop is guided precisely over the centre of the blades and chopped exactly. A special system of strippers keeps the rotor clean at all times. The precise angle of the feed tines effectively prevents crushing of the crop as it passes through. Uniformly chopped slices improve silage quality and facilitate easy distribution both in silage preparation and later on in the feed mixer.

Tying.

In great shape with the new net wrapping.

Whether twine or net, you'll be sure to get everything right with the ROLLANT 520. The new net wrapping system works more reliably than ever and saves a lot of time: Wrapping is fully automatic and takes only a few seconds. The sophisticated net guide allows the net to be applied tightly across the full bale width and firmly secures the edges as well. The result is firmly wrapped bales with a good bale shape.

Roll changes are a breeze.

If you wrap your bales with net or film, you need to handle heavy rolls. However, with the convenient loading bay on the ROLLANT, changing rolls is a breeze.

Your alternative: twine tying.

With twine tying, you have a choice of manual or automatic twine start. The automatic system starts the process once the set final pressure is reached, with the operator receiving a visual and acoustic alert.

Ergonomic CEMIS 700 control terminal.

  • New terminal with convenient user navigation and touchscreen
  • 7” display with very high resolution
  • Two camera inputs

Constant chain lubrication.

The new distribution units in the 6.3-litre lubricator supply each individual chain with exactly the amount of oil needed for long and smooth-running operation. You can save on cash, in addition to saving valuable maintenance time.

Modern design.

The proven ROLLANT fixed-chamber concept is subject to continuous development and improvement by our engineers. For the new generation, they have revised the design completely. One glance at the new lines makes it clear that this is one of the most robust balers in the world.
