2024 Vermeer® Bale Wrappers BW5500

This BW5500 inline bale wrapper from Vermeer is designed to give large-volume hay operators and custom operators fast wrapping times and more operational control. The three plastic film pre-stretchers on the BW5500 help increase wrapping speed over machines with only two pre-stretchers. A digital controller allows the operator to apply a consistent number of wraps on bales with automation that consistently adjusts the wrap settings for environmental variations.

Features may include:

• The user-friendly and easy-to-read precision controller offers the ability to set a consistent number of wraps for each bale to receive. The controller adjusts hydraulic flow automatically to apply the right amount of wraps.

• Contains three 30-inch (76.2-cm) pre-stretchers to wrap faster and increases the time before plastic film refill is needed compared to a machine with only two pre-stretchers.

• The soft start feature is designed to reduce machine wear and limit the chance of plastic film tearing on startup, making your operation more efficient.

• Positioning the hitch on the BW5500 from the loading end allows you to pull the machine away from the line of bales without requiring a power drive on the bale wrapper.
