rolls to perform the bale binding
function, the KUHN system uses

stretching the binding film by 70%
prior to application. Film loading
is also quicker and easier as each
roll weighs just 27kg, compared to
the wider rolls which can weigh
between 40-90kg.
The i-BIO+’s high-speed
wrapping ring allows film to be
applied at up to 50 revolutions per
minute and produces well-shaped,
tightly sealed bales for improved
crop preservation.
