Straw Picking and Baling Machine Delivery to the Netherlands

Our factory has finished producing two silage straw picking and baling machines, and they are now loaded for shipment to the Netherlands. The customer’s company focuses on dairy production and organic feed processing, overseeing approximately 1,500 hectares of pasture and farmland.

Currently, the company is looking to efficiently recycle the stalks from corn and wheat harvests into silage and biomass fuel, aiming to replace the traditional incineration process.

Analysis of the customer’s needs

1. Fast and efficient operation: in Dutch agriculture, crops are typically planted with 1.2 meters between rows, necessitating the use of a narrow picker to protect the root systems.
2. High-intensity continuous operation: during the harvest season, it’s essential to process 80-100 acres of farmland each day, with each bale weighing between 400-600 kilograms to ensure compatibility with the automated handling system.
3. Low failure rate assurance: the rainy conditions in Northern Europe demand that equipment be waterproof to IP65 standards and capable of efficiently compressing wet straw.

Straw picking and baling machine customized solutions

1. With a 1.65m wide adjustable picker, the tine spacing is perfectly aligned with Dutch farmland standards. The working speed has been boosted to 12 km/h, allowing the machine to handle up to 120 tons of straw daily.
2. Utilizing pressure sensing technology, the bale density is maintained at 190-210 kg/m3, and it offers a dual bale mode using either PE film or mesh rope, enhancing moisture-proofing by 50%.

Why choose to buy our machines?

1. The purchase cost is 35% lower compared to similar equipment in Europe, and it consumes just 5.2 liters of fuel per hour, resulting in excellent operational cost efficiency.
2. In line with the agronomic needs of the Netherlands, the width of the picker has been modified from the standard 2 meters to 1.65 meters, and it now includes extra ridge avoidance sensors.
3. From the time of drawing confirmation to the delivery of two straw picking and baling machines, it only takes 50 days, which is twice as fast as the average delivery cycle of European suppliers.

In summary, these two straw picking and baling machines will assist the customer from the Netherlands in recovering 8,000 tons of straw annually. Additionally, the capacity for silage production will see a 20% increase, and it is anticipated that the investment will be recouped within three years.
