Effect of some operating parameters On pickup baler performance

Abstract: The performance of the pick up baler in terms of field capacity , field efficiency , baling losses , bale density , size requirements for storing bales , fuel , power , energy and cost was investigated as a function of change in baler forward speed , material feed rate , straw moisture content , and plunger speed during baling rice straw, wheat straw , and berseem ( Egyption clover ) .

The experimental results reveal that the bale density , baling power , size for storing bales , and criterion costs were in the optimum region under the following condition :
- Pickup baler forward speed of between 2-3 km/h
- Baler feed rates of between 2.1 to 3.0 ton/h , 1.7 to 2.5 ton/h , and 4.1 to 5.7 ton/h during baling rice straw wheat straw , and berseem respectively .
- Material moisture contents of between 12 to 15%, 9 to 12 % and 20% to 25 % for baling rice straw , wheat straw ,and berseem respectively .
- Plunger speed of 97 m/min.
