TOP QUALITY BALES
CONSISTENTLY GOOD RESULTS
Outstanding Quality FastBale Premium’s unique twin chamber concept produces bales of outstanding quality. The incoming crop flow is first directed into the pre-chamber, where it is fully compressed. Once the pre-chamber is full, the incoming crop flow is then directed to the main bale chamber and simultaneously the pre-compressed crop
from the pre-chamber is also transferred to the main bale chamber. The bale is then fully formed in the main chamber until the required density is reached. This unique double compression of the crop results in bales of superior density compared to those produced by conventional balers.

SMART
WRAPPING CONCEPT
Fast & stable wrapping platform Twin satellites wrapping at up to 50rpm give FastBale Premium class leading wrapping capacity. With their unique horizontal mounting position they avoid crop build-up associated with many traditional systems. The wrap-around rear frame also eliminates any possibility of bales rolling off the wrapper when working on steeply sloping land. Film cut and hold utilises the ‘gather and cut’ principle, which reduces stress on the film and provides more reliable start-up at the beginning of the next cycle. Wrapped bales are discharged by raising the rear roller. This gentle action drops the bales with no rolling momentum, minimising the possibility of film damage, while also reducing the risk of bales rolling away when working on sloping land.
FastBale Premium non-stop technology brings added benefits when working with Film-on-Film Conventional baler-wrappers have to stop to apply the net to the bale, which takes at least 5 seconds, plus more time to open/close the tailgate. Wrapping with net replacement film needs more wraps due to the ‘tail’ which has to be formed at beginning and end of cycle. This results in the binding cycle taking over 10 seconds – so at least 5 seconds extra spent stationary for every bale made. FastBale Premium continues baling during binding so all of this time is saved. Switching from film to net requires no mechanical adjustment, other than to change the roll over, different stretch ratios can be easily selected on the control terminal by the operator.
Film-on-film Kverneland FastBale Premium is available with a film-on- film option. Benefits of this technique include improved silage quality, easier handling and feeding out of bales and simpler recycling of plastic waste.

COMPACT SIZE
– EASY TRANSPORT!
Despite its non-stop capability FastBale Premium’s extremely efficient packaging makes it very compact. Its small size is a huge advantage for ease of transport. With a class-leading transport width of only 2,76m* FastBale Premium has more compact overall dimensions than its main competitors.
* With 600/55-26.5 wheels
Short overhang – easy field access
Film rolls are also protected during transport by the satellite arms. The minimal tail swing allows easy access to even the tightest fields and gateways.
The innovative wrapping system breaks new ground for compactness. During transport, the rear roller and satellites are folded to the vertical position, considerably reducing overall length, while all wrapping elements are safely clear of any obstructions.

FASTBALE – NON-STOP HOW IT WORKS
Kverneland FastBale Premium features two bale chambers – a full sized main chamber and a pre-chamber which is about two thirds of the size of the main chamber. Baling starts in the conventional manner with the main chamber producing the first bale. However, once the bale is fully formed, instead of having to stop to apply the net, FastBale Premium diverts the crop flow to the pre-chamber. This allows the net to be applied to the bale in the main chamber and for the bale to be ejected onto the wrapper. When the pre-chamber is full, the incoming crop flow, together with the pre-compressed crop are both then transferred into the main bale chamber. Here the bale is formed to its final size and density.

Kverneland FastBale Premium eliminates transfer systems seen on other baler-wrapper combinations. Completed bales are discharged directly from the bale chamber onto the wrapper, reducing complexity and speeding up the process. With the bale on the wrapper, it is then raised allowing the twin satellites to wrap the bale.
Quality bale production with no stopping - one seamless process.
Completed bales are discharged directly onto the wrapper.

SMART BALING
TURNING SOLUTION
Compact bale turner The optional bale turner utilises the lifting action of FastBale Premium’s rear wrapper frame to turn the bale while still on the move, maintaining the non-stop capability of FastBale Premium.
This ingenious option is very compact – during the bale wrapping process the bale turner is stowed under the front wrapper roller.
This smart solution also means the bale turner does not need to be folded away manually prior to road transport, once again reducing downtime and operator effort. If the bale turner is not required, it can be left in place and simply locked in its parked position with the operating link disconnected, allowing bales to be discharged in the conventional manner.

Introducing the New Premium-designed Drawbar! The newly designed drawbar is designed to sustain heavy stress in all field conditions.
The new shape allows a better-turning angle in small fields and tight headlands. The new shape allows the driver to do all maneuvers easier and safer. The robust design and unique shape come with a more extensive access area to the gearbox for easier and faster PTO exchange, hydraulic hose access, and maintenance. Regardless of whether a tractor is equipped with a high or low hitch point, the drawbar can be adapted for all kinds of tractors without affecting any operational aspects. Optional Hydraulic Jack Stand When it comes to the tractor coupling, uncoupling or just parking the FastBale Premium, the optional hydraulic jack comes into play by reducing the exchange time and fatigue that the operator needs to perform during this operation.
Besides, the exchange time reduction can also be helpful when you park the FastBale Premium to reduce the weight load on the back of the tractor.
New drawbar.
Automativ Greasing System Bale chamber rollers and rotor bearings are lubricated by an automatic greasing system, while chains are provided with an oiler system with individually adjustable outputs to each chain.

IN CONTROL
FULLY AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Easy to use control system
In normal operation FastBale works fully automatically, with even the completed bale drop being automated (auto drop can be over-ridden at any time when working on sloping land). Equipped with a Tellus GO terminal or optional double screen Tellus Pro terminal, the operator is kept fully informed with an animated display showing the real-time status of both the pre and main baling chambers and the wrapper. The operator can see at a glance the status at each stage of the baling process, allowing output to be matched to machine capacity and prevailing crop conditions. FastBale is extremely versatile, and as well as baling and wrapping non-stop, it can also work in dry crops with the wrapper in the raised position, with bales discharged directly out of the main bale chamber. Baling in the main chamber only can also be selected for baling very dry crops such as straw.
Always Connected Kverneland Sync ensures seamless connectivity to online services, with smooth data transfer to IsoMatch FarmCentre and Kverneland ServiceCentre. Machine tracking, performance reporting, remote service, and enhanced safety are just a few of the benefits that Kverneland Sync delivers.
FastBale is fully ISOBUS compatible as standard and can be operated on any ISOBUS equipped tractor without the need for an additional terminal.
