LB 1270 - LB 1290 Big Square Balers
Specialists in the Art of Baling 2 Leader in baling technology The ability to produce top quality bales in all crop conditions sets Vicon LB balers apart from all others. Perfect shaped bales, combined with huge output and outstanding long durability, ensure that an LB baler will be a profitable investment. Vicon has many years of experience in square baler technology and this knowledge has been put to good use, to ensure ease of operation over long working days while achieving consistently high daily outputs. Profitable operation Bale quality and density are fundamental to the profitable operation of a square baler. Unique Vicon innovations such as Power Density and Integral Rotor Technology make a real difference in field performance. Vicon LB balers have the ability to pack the absolute maximum into each bale, increasing the potential for profitable operation by reducing the cost per ton of crop baled, whether operating in silage, hay, straw or energy crop. Service Vicon LB balers are designed to keep service requirements to an absolute minimum. In the event of a breakdown, an extensive network of professionally trained dealers is fully qualified to provide expert support.
Flexibel Solutions The LB 1270 makes bales from 120 cm width, has a bale height of 70 cm and can make bales up to 300 cm. With or without a 23 knife cutting device. The LB 1290 makes bales from 120 cm width, has an adjustable bale height of 80 or 90 cm and can make bales up to 300 cm. With or without a 23 knife cutting device. 3
Intake Excellent Intake Performance 4 Integral Rotor a constant flow of crop for optimum throughput Vicon s Integral Rotor Technology raises intake performance to a new level. Large diameter, heavy duty auger flights are incorporated directly onto the outer sections of the rotor. Crop is positively handled by feeding tines arranged in a helix pattern, maintaining an even feed, regardless of variations in swath condition. This means the heaviest of swaths are force-fed through the intake system, resulting in higher forward speeds for outstanding productivity. Smooth crop flow Large diameter, height adjustable guide wheels with pneumatic tyres carry the spring balanced pickup over every ground contour, resulting in the cleanest raking job. A crop baffle plate above the pickup helps to even out the flow of material, pre-compressing the crop in front of the rotor regardless of conditions. For the most awkward swaths, the baffle plate can be equipped with a roller press to guide it over the swath for even smoother material flow. Heavy duty driveline with camclutch protectioin
Omnicut The ultimate in crop cutting Next to the standard integral rotor Vicon offers the OmniCut Intake rotor. This large diameter rotor takes the crop directly from the pick-up en spreads this evenly to the pre-chamber. Where crop chopping is required, the operator can choose to engage all 23 knives, with a theoretical cutting length of 45mm, or select alternate banks of 11 or 12 knives within seconds. Every single knife is hydraulicly protected against foreign objects. Inspecting, sharpening and changing the knives is a quick and easy job. The knives of the OmniCut rotor are mounted on a frame that slides out from the right hand side of the baler. Integral Rotor Technology Vicon s integration of a feed rotor into the pickup raises intake performance to a new level. Large diameter, heavy duty auger flights are incorporated directly onto the outer sections of the rotor, giving the crop nowhere to go, but inside the baler. 5
Power Density With the unique Vicon Power Density feeding system uniform bale formation is assured. Power Density constantly adapts to the size of crop entering the pre-chamber regardless of wether the baler is working in a small second cut silage crop or a large swath of dry brittle straw. The result; less balehandling, lower twine and wrap usage and lower haulage cost per ton of crop baled. Crop is fed from the intake rotor inro the pre-chamber. A single feeder fork (red) works at twice the speed of the plunger, continuously clearing the entrance to the pre-chamber and pre-compressing the crop. As the pre-chamber is filled, pressure is exerted on wedges (white) at the top of the pre-chamber. At a certain point the pre-set pressure on the wedges is overcome, triggering the feederfork to take an extended stroke, sweeping the pre-compressed crop up into the bale chamber where the plunger compresses the crop to form the bale. The ability of the Power Density system to always feed a consitent volume of crop to the bale chamber ensures consistent, well shaped bales in all conditions. 6
Suits your Demands in Every Crop High efficiency plunger The plunger is driven directly from the main gearbox. The drive is transmitted by two crank shafts and two conrods which ensure even loading on the plunger. The Plunger is supported by extra large guide rollers (150 mm in diameter) which run on hardened rails, resulting in minimum friction and minimum wear. In addition the guide rollers are placed at the easily accessible outside of the bale chamber, greatly reducing thte risk of fouling and damage. Due to the optimum shape of balechamber and plunger a very high density is reached. All greasing points from the plunger are connected to one central greasing point near the knotters. Hydraulic system The hydraulic bale density is controlled from your tractor seat, so there is no need to leave your tractor. The oilflow is directly driven from the main gearbox. By the use of a 3 meter long balechamber this results in a denser bale. The bale is still completely in the balechamber during tying. This prevents unwanted expansion. 7
Non Stop Baling The Vicon LB series features a unique fully automatic protection system for all vital parts in the event of an overload. The main drive is protected by cam type torque limiters which are automatically activated in case of an overload. They are located as close as possible to the components they protect, including the feeder fork, rotor and pickup. No more time wasted replacing shear bolts, since they have been completely eliminated from the main drivelines. When a cam clutch is activated, the intake of crop is stopped. The clutch re-engages when the operator reduces tractor PTO speed. The feeding system then works at low speed to clear the blockage automatically before normal operation resumes. For maintenance and service the pre-chamber inspection door easily can be opened for a clear entrance. Increased reliability with reduced maintenance time The automatic greasing system reduces maintenance time by taking care of all the greasing points on the baler. This automatic greasing system is being monitored by the ISOBUS software. 8
Easy access With pivoting twine boxes the needle frame and drivelines are very easily accessible for monitoring and maintenance. The twine boxes itself are closed to prevent pollution. 9
Binding without Stress Less maintenance, more security The knotters guarantee perfect bale density by rapid and smooth tying. If the twine is not running, this can directly be seen in the tractor cab on the Terminal Twine release during baling During baling the twine release is in its normal position and is holding tension on the twine to ensure maximum density in the bale. Twine release during binding When the needles are coming upwards, the twine release is becoming active and turns backwards. The tension on the twine is reduced and a tension free knot can be made. Last bale ejector After releasing the bale chamber pressure the bale easliy can be moved out of the balechamber. Standing next to the balechamber the operator has excellent view of the process. The bale is being moved out of the balechamber by two rows of forced steered tines. 10

Putting your Energy into Good Use Vicon LB balers are putting the engery into good use With an LB baler on the field you will have huge capacity against low fuel consumption. Next to that and even as important the baler works in all crop conditions. Normal agricultural crops like silage and grain are no issue but also the though engery crops like tropical grass and hemp. These crops can be baled without any adaption to the baler. The balers are standard equiped with heavy duty bearings, special hardened plunger knives and rails. The Vicon LB, a Solid baler which produces Solid bales in all conditions. 13
