Welger RP 415

Lely Welger RP 415

Round balers with variable chambers are used under varying circumstances and therefore the demands that are made on these machines also differ widely. The Lely Welger RP 415 range features perfect specifications for use in silage hay and straw when there is no need to chop the crop. The feed rotor and wide pick-up have been designed for easy processing of wide swaths while the proven CPS ensures optimum bale density. The best indication for the outstanding quality and sustainability of these balers can be found in the name... Lely Welger!

Wide pick-up – Large swaths

The RP 415 model has a 2.25 m wide free running pick-up with five tine bars. Pick-up capacity is huge; the long 5.60 mm tines have large coils and are therefore ideal to retrieve the crop from high stubble. Due to their great flexibility, the tines can easily adjust to uneven ground contours, thus eliminating contamination. Suspension of the pick-up is adjustable and perfect ground contour following is ensured in combination with the height chains and pick-up wheels.

Good crop intake – Optimum results

An even and constant crop flow is of paramount importance to good output and bale shape. Especially with balers with a wide pick-up a good feed system means the difference between a smooth, continued operation and “jerking and jolting” feeding of the crop. Due to the two transport augers, the crop that is collected on the outside of the pick-up is effortlessly conveyed to the 1.25 m wide entrance of the baler. Thus, the outer layers of the bale are even and compact.

Large feed rotor – Maximum throughput

The Welger RP 415 model features a 500 mm diameter feed rotor with large tines. Due to the diameter of the rotor shaft, the opening to the bale chamber is maximal, which ensures a tremendous flow. Power requirements remain low thanks to the low resistance in the feed channel.

CPS – Best bales, highest speed

For round balers, the start of the bale is crucial in terms of bale shape and output. The mechanical part of the CPS ensures flexibility for the belts, making the starting of a bale smooth and easy. Especially in crops such as hay and straw this ensures a huge increase of output.

As soon as the bale has a core formed, the hydraulic CPS mechanism is engaged and due to the well designed geometry of the tensioning device for the belts, a highly consistent bale density is ensured thanks to the increasing pressure exerted by the belts. Thus, correct bale formation is ensured since baling density remains constant even up to the maximum diameter. The hard outer layer eliminates any loss of quality due to weathering and rain being absorbed.

Four endless belts – Endless trust

The four belts of the baler are constructed from five cord plies, alternated with rubber intermediate layers with strongly staggering connections of the layers. Result: a supple yet outstandingly strong belt that hardly stretches and contains no joiners. All in all: endless baling without replacement or repair.

Balercontrol E

As soon as the pre-set bale diameter has been reached, the BCE sends a signal to the operator after which tying (net, Combi or twine) is started either automatically or manually. BCE also shows the number of bales per day as well as the total number of bales.

Easy manual adjustment

The settings for bale size, bale density and net length are easily adjusted on the machine. Clear visible indicators show the density and the increasing bale size. A light indicates whether the tailgate is locked or not.

ADS – Extra power for heavy crops

To be able to convey additional power to the belts, the RP 415 models can be fitted with the ADS (Additional Drive System) feature. The additional drive make the baler more suited to silage operations.
