KRONE VariPack Plus – High-Performance Variable Chamber Round Balers

The KRONE VariPack Plus is designed specifically for high-output baling of dry crops such as straw, hay and haylage. Combining straightforward engineering with reinforced components, fast crop flow and exceptional bale density, it is built for farmers and contractors who need maximum performance during short harvesting windows.

With the EasyFlow pick-up, high-capacity Integral Rotor, precision cutting system and three-belt variable chamber, the VariPack Plus delivers reliable bale formation and excellent crop handling. The range includes models capable of producing bales from 0.80 m up to 1.90 m diameter.

Key Features

High-Performance Dry Crop Baler

The VariPack Plus is designed for demanding dry crop applications where high output and dense, well-shaped bales are essential.

EasyFlow Pick-Up

The 2.15 m camless EasyFlow pick-up uses robust 6 mm double tines arranged in a chevron pattern for clean and consistent crop collection.

Its simplified design uses fewer moving parts, helping reduce wear and maintenance.

Integral Rotor

The high-capacity Integral Rotor combines feeding and auger functions within one unit, creating smooth and consistent crop flow into the bale chamber.

Precision XCut System

XC Plus models use a 26-blade cutting system with blade group selection of:

• 0 blades
• 13 blades
• 13 blades
• 26 blades

This provides cutting lengths down to approximately 42 mm.

High-Density Belt Chamber

Three smooth endless belts form dense and stable bales while maintaining reliable bale rotation.

The chamber operates at a high circumferential speed of up to 130 m/min for excellent throughput.

Automatic Belt Cleaning

Two cleaning rollers continuously remove material from the belts and guide rollers, helping maintain reliable performance.

Bale Formation

Two-Drive System

Two belt drives help ensure reliable bale starts and consistent bale rotation, particularly when working at high outputs.

Adjustable Bale Diameter

The required bale size can be set from the operator terminal, allowing the baler to be adapted quickly to different crop and handling requirements.

Adjustable Soft Core

Bale pressure and soft-core settings can be controlled through the terminal to suit different applications.

Fast Bale Unloading

Automatic Rear Door

The rear door is automatically controlled to speed up unloading cycles.

Under 5-Second Cycle

The tailgate can complete its opening and closing cycle in less than five seconds, helping minimise downtime between bales.

Stroke-End Cushioning

Hydraulic cylinders with stroke-end cushioning provide fast and smooth rear door operation.

Bale Ejector

The bale ejector places the finished bale safely onto the ground and is designed to work effectively even on sloping terrain.

Wrapping System

Net Wrapping

Net wrap is standard for fast and secure bale binding.

Net & Twine Option

Net and twine configurations provide additional flexibility for different crop and storage requirements.

Standard Net Roll Chute

A roll chute is fitted as standard, allowing heavy net rolls to be loaded more easily into the cradle.
