[. . . ] Avedore 2 burns 172, 000 tonnes of straw bales each year to provide heating for 200, 000 households and electricity for 1. 3 million homes. The bale size this plant has been designed to use is 1. 28 m x 1. 20 m, the size produced by the MF 2190. A similar power station at Ely in the UK also uses the same bale size as its benchmark.

The MF 2100 Series balers will quickly earn your trust, with their day-in, day-out consistency and dependability. These balers are built around a simple, but immensely strong, frame on which all components are mounted. [. . . ] Reliability and durability is enhanced by the extensive use of sealed bearings and common sense design. All reducing cost of ownership. 08 01 The new MF pickup with increased capacity. 02 Four feeding augers = Higher capacity feed. 03 Stuffer system = Proven, trustworthy design but now even more durable. 04 Wind guard = More control of the crop flow into the baler. 05 Packer crank = Even feed into pre-pack chamber. 03 01 02 04 05 09 Unique knotter system The double-knotter system pioneered at the Hesston factory has an unrivalled record of reliability, tying many millions of bales all over the world for over 30 years. It continues to perform this vital role in the MF 2100 Series balers. With the aim of perfect bale quality and protection, the knotters are chain-driven directly from the gearbox, enabling plunger, knotters and needles to be synchronised precisely. The renowned double knotter system has been with us for over 30 years and why change the best on the market. The system allows the baler to produce the highest density bales with the lowest possible strain and wear on the knotter components, increasing knotter reliability and durability and therefore reducing running costs. In order to achieve high density bales the twine is fed from the top and bottom of the chamber eliminating contact with the knotter components, allowing the highly compacted bales to be pushed out pulling the twine along ( as shown in Picture 4 opposite). The first knot finishes the bale on the way out of the chamber, the second then becomes the first on the new bale to be formed. As the twine is only inserted into the knotter on a tying cycle, there is no strain on the components this dramatically reduces the amount of wear, increases longevity and reduces running costs. Some the best engineering designs are simple and straightforward ­ this system is a superb example, further enhanced by the new knotter blower. Powered by the baler-mounted hydraulic pump, the knotter blower maintains a constant flow of air at 140 km/h through the knotter stack, instantly clearing any debris entering the knotter area. The design has been refined to incorporate a transverse impeller-type, hydraulically driven fan, which increases fan efficiency and has a lower power consumption. Extensive use of sealed bearings throughout the knotter stack prolongs component life and, again, minimises maintenance and lowers the cost of ownership. Now mounted in the centre of the bale chamber, the bale length star-wheel floats with the top chamber door, ensuring that the star-wheel gets firm traction in all crop conditions for improved bale length accuracy. In addition, the knotter bale trip lockout is built to a heavier duty specification for longer life. The knotters are lubricated by an AutoLube system, controlled from the terminal ­ lubrication intervals can be varied to take account of intensity of use. All models carry 30 balls of twine in the twine boxes. The balls are carried at a 30° angle making loading much easier. The twine boxes take up less room on the side of the baler allowing much better service access. 10 01 Knotters. 02 Knotter blower. 03 Knotter AutoLube system. 04 The doubleknotter cycle. 05 Star-wheel. 06 High capacity twine box. 07 Easy placement of twine. 03 05 06 The second knot tied starts the next bale First knot tied finishes the bale 01 02 04 07 11 Essential optional extras For high quality silage or chopped straw, the MF 2150, MF 2160 and MF 2170 can be factory fitted with a heavy-duty pre-cutter unit. It can also be specified for hay and straw only for the MF 2190. 12 01 Pre cutter unit. 03 Lowering the knife bed gives easy access to knives. This unit chops the crop to your required length and the packer tines take the crop and fill the pre-forming chamber. By retaining the packer drive, the all-important quality of the flakes is not compromised. The MF 2150 has a cutter with 11 knives, whilst the MF 2160, MF 2170 and MF 2190 have 19 knives, offering average chop lengths of 48 mm, 96 mm and 192 mm. The length of cut can be easily and quickly changed by lowering the knives from the cab and repositioning the selector pin. Lowering the knife bed also means sharpening can be effected quickly and efficiently. [. . . ] At Massey Ferguson, this distinction starts at the drawing board and doesn't stop.
