2025 Kuhn OWR 6000 Inline Wrapper

The KUHN OWR 6000 round bale inline wrapper offers exceptional wrapping productivity, while minimizing film and fuel use. This inline wrapper is designed for demanding farmers and custom operators looking for maximum productivity and profitability in a wrapper.

The new KUHN OptiWrap® OWR 6000 inline round bale wrapper offers exceptional wrapping productivity, while minimizing film and fuel use. This inline wrapper is designed for demanding farmers and custom operators looking for maximum productivity and profitability in a wrapper. The OWR 6000 has the ability to quickly wrap round bales of various sizes, including 4- and 5-foot-wide bales up to 6 feet in diameter.

The OWR 6000 leverages KUHN’s 35 years of experience with individual wrappers by utilizing the same pre-stretchers with an industry leading 70% plastic stretch ratio. This higher stretch ratio provides more efficient plastic utilization and better bale compression reducing plastic cost per bale. Greater management and control of the wrapping process can be achieved by our standard IntelliWrap™ technology. IntelliWrap uses a simple display to control the wrapping process and allows the operator to easily adjust film layers by one-layer increments. The BaleEye photoelectric sensor accurately and reliably detects a bale on the loading platform with no mechanical moving parts unlike competitive mechanical sensors. To maintain performance, the OWR 6000 features two propulsion wheels for optimal hoop traction in adverse conditions. Non-pneumatic drive wheels, made of industrial-grade polymer, are maintenance free and never go flat.

Thirty-five years of KUHN wrapping heritage have proven these pre-stretchers in various conditions around the world. The standard pre-stretchers, which each hold a 30” (750 mm) roll, are made of aluminum to avoid build-up of tack from the film. Both outer ends of the aluminum rollers are cone-shaped to maintain the optimum width of the film and reduce the risk of film tear on the edges. The special ribbed profile of the aluminum rollers keeps air and water away from the film. The location of the pre-stretchers makes it very easy to change the film rolls. The standard pre-stretch of 70% is reached by a low-maintenance and low-noise gear transmission.

The KUHN OWR 6000 inline wrapper features BaleEye, a sensor, that detects when a bale is present on the loading platform triggering the plunger and hoop cycle. Conveniently increase the loading delay via the monitor to give the operator more time to load the bale or decrease the delay to increase productivity. With this photoelectric solution the operator does not have to worry about this component wearing out, being affected by loose debris or not being able to detect odd-shaped bales as with competitive mechanical sensors.

Compression of the bales in the tube is maintained utilizing the hydraulic system on the drive wheels. A simple dial and gauge allow the operator to adjust pressure in the system, pressing bales together to limit air spaces in the tube helping maintain feed value during storage.
