KRONE VariPack – High-Density Variable Chamber Round Baler

The KRONE VariPack is a high-capacity variable chamber belt baler specifically designed for dry crops such as hay and straw. Combining simple technology with high throughput and exceptional bale density, the VariPack is built for farmers and contractors who need fast, reliable baling during short harvesting windows.

Available in V 165 and V 190 models, with or without the XC cutting system, the VariPack produces bales from 0.80 m up to 1.90 m diameter. A wide EasyFlow pick-up, powerful integral rotor and high-speed belt chamber work together to provide consistent crop flow and well-shaped, dense bales.

Key Features

Variable Chamber Belt Baler

The VariPack range provides flexible bale diameters depending on the model:

• VariPack V 165: 0.80 – 1.65 m
• VariPack V 190: 0.80 – 1.90 m

Bale diameter can be conveniently adjusted from the operator terminal.

EasyFlow Pick-Up

The 2.15 m KRONE EasyFlow pick-up provides thorough crop collection and high hourly outputs.

Its camless design uses fewer moving parts, helping reduce wear and maintenance while robust double tines provide reliable crop collection.

High-Capacity Integral Rotor

The 530 mm integral rotor provides high throughput and a consistent flow of crop from the pick-up into the bale chamber.

Integrated feed augers reduce the number of separate moving components for a simpler and more reliable crop flow system.

XCut Cutting System

XC models are equipped with a 17-blade cutting system for precise crop processing.

Blade groups can be selected in 0 / 8 / 9 / 17 configurations, providing cutting lengths down to approximately 64 mm.

High-Density Bale Chamber

Heavy-duty endless belts maintain excellent contact with the crop for reliable bale rotation and high-density bale formation.

Baling pressure and soft-core settings can be adjusted through the operator terminal.

Bale Formation

Fast Bale Rotation

The belt chamber is designed to start bale rotation quickly and maintain reliable rotation as the chamber fills.

Adjustable Bale Diameter

The required bale diameter can be entered through the terminal in 1 cm increments, allowing bale size to be matched precisely to individual requirements.

Adjustable Soft Core

Operators can adjust the density of the bale core and outer layers to suit different applications, from high-density transport bales to softer-core bales for drying.

Low Maintenance Design

Automatic Chain Lubrication

Drive chains are automatically lubricated to reduce daily maintenance and promote long service life.

Grouped Grease Points

Grease points are grouped together for faster and more convenient routine servicing.

Simple Driveline

Only three drive chains are used to power the machine assemblies, reducing the number of wear components and simplifying maintenance.

Hydraulic Drop Floor

The floor beneath the rotor can be lowered hydraulically from the tractor to make clearing blockages quicker and easier.

Key Benefits

Exceptional Bale Density

The belt chamber is designed to produce dense, stable and well-shaped bales.

High Throughput

The 2.15 m EasyFlow pick-up and 530 mm integral rotor maintain strong crop flow for high daily outputs.

Flexible Bale Sizes

Variable chamber technology allows bale diameters from 0.80 m to 1.90 m, depending on model.

Ideal for Dry Crops

The VariPack has been specifically developed for high-performance baling of hay and straw.

Precise Crop Cutting

XC models provide controlled cutting with the 17-blade XCut system.

Reduced Servicing

Automatic chain lubrication, grouped grease points and a simplified driveline help minimise daily maintenance.
