Vermeer - BPX9000 - Bale Processor Brochure

BALE PROCESSORSVermeer Corporation1410 Vermeer Road East • Pella, IA 50219 800.370.3659 • vermeer.com zzzzzzzzBPX9000There are two ways to design a machine. One approach is to strap your customers’ boots on and build something you assume they need. The other way is to let your customers wear their own boots as they tell you what’s really needed in the field. At Vermeer, we let our customers do the talking. Then, we build a machine that solves real problems. Before we set out to design the BPX9000, we listened closely to what our customers wanted and needed in a bale processor. And we kept hearing the same things.Simplicity. A bale processor that’s easier to load, operate and maintain, and can process bales smoothly and consistently. Durability. A bale processor that’s robust, heavy-duty and reliable, and is designed to maximize production. Versatility. A bale processor that can process round and large square bales of varying qualities, distribute it where and how you want it, and is easier to transport between jobs. Indeed, the BPX9000 is designed to meet the real needs of our customers. It enhances productivity and ease of operation. Operators can distribute consistent, uniform ribbons, hit tight spots along the bunk line or spread bedding evenly and consistently. And it requires less maintenance time. No more pulling the whole bed apart or spending hours cutting at net or twine wrapped around the rotor.The BPX9000 bale processor was designed and built from the ground up at our manufacturing facilities in Pella, Iowa. More importantly, it’s built to be what you need it to be. Simple. Durable. Versatile. Process large square bales with an optional square bale kit. Offset loader forks position the bale to the right hand side of the processor, and the moveable wall repositions so you can process large square bales. Now your round bale processor has enough control to process large square bales evenly and consistently as well.zzzzzzzz 13542The slat & chain bale rotation design feeds bales consistently into the rotor – reducing the need to reverse rotation. Heavy-duty sprockets and chains ensure even misshaped bales are processed smoothly. Long-lasting bushings replace ball bearings (from previous Vermeer processors) that can get damaged when net or twine wrap around them. And split shafts let you perform maintenance without removing the entire bed.1Cutting twine off of the rotor has been among the most hated jobs – until now. The exclusive cut control bars and self-cleaning rotor eliminate excessive net and twine on the drum. Or, you can alter the adjustable close clearance slug bar to clean manually and minimize the amount of net or twine mixed in the feed.24 See the process in action right from your cab. A low front screen provides improved visibility into the tub – so you can look into the machine as it’s processing. A vertical bale lift system makes it quicker and easier to lift bales and reduces stress on the machine. Plus, the robust T-style tongue frame has no welds or gussets at high stress points, increasing strength and preventing cracks. The frame is bolted high on the tub for enhanced durability. 5A unique offset rotor rotates and pulls material through for more consistent feeding and prevents uncontrolled fall-through from slowing down the machine. Process whole bales of varying shapes (with optional square bale kit) and qualities to produce uniform ribbons, hit tight spots along the bunk line or spread evenly up to 40' (12.19 m) for bedding. 3SELF-CLEANING POSITIONROTORMANUAL CLEANING POSITIONBPX9000 SPECIFICATIONSD I M E N S I O N S A N D W E I G H T S BX9000Length 15' (4.6 m)Height 8.5' (2.6 m)Width - Transport 8.2' (2.5 m)Width - Operation 11.2' (3.4 m)Weight 5060 lbs (2295 kg)Drawbar Weight 1460 lbs (662 kg)T r A c T O r r E q u I r E M E N T SHorsepower required 85 hp (63.3 kW)PTO speed 1000 rpmHydraulics type 3 - Double actingHydraulic pressure 2000 psi (137.9 bar)Hydraulic flow rate 8 gpm (30.3 lpm)G E N E r A L S P E c I F I c AT I O N SBale size capacity Two bales, 6' x 5' (1.8 x 1.5 m)Bale weight capacity 2500 lbs (1134 kg)Flail drum speed 1000 rpmFlail quantity 30Flail description7/16" x 5 9/16" (17.8 cm x 35.6 cm) tempered springFlail drum diameter 26.75" (67.9 cm)Flail drum length 78" (198 cm)Slug bar quantity 7Slug bar adjustment Hand lever with 5 settings Tire size - standard 14L x 16.1FLTorque protection - driveline Shear boltJack 5000 lbs (2267.96kg)S TA N D A r D D E TA I L S?
