Comprima V 210 XC Krone Comprima V 210 XC Specifications & Technical Data (2012—2021)

Applying net, peripheral film and twine

The net wrap system is standard specification but you can also opt for the peripheral film wrap unit. This type of stretch film, which runs 1.28 m wide and is adhesive on one side, increases the quality of silage bales, because it exerts a greater pressure on the outer layers of the bale, reducing the amount of air trapped in it and making it easier to break up on the feeding floor.

The KRONE excellent RoundEdge net wrap

The excellent RoundEdge net wrap now offers even better edge to edge spreading technology than excellent Edge, protecting the perfectly shaped bales from the ingress of moisture and loss due to fragmentation.

The KRONE excellent StrongEdge net wrap

This is the extra strong net among the KRONE net wrap products. Knurling two threads into one warp thread, this net offers an enormous resistance to tearing, has larger meshes and excellent UV-stability – properties that make it particularly suitable for use in hot and sunny regions and coarse material.

The KRONE excellent Slide film wrap

The KRONE excellent Slide film wrap with five layers and a 25 μm thickness is a high-quality product that offers the best possible silage results and highest fodder quality.

The KRONE excellent Slide Extra film wrap

Manufactured to a specific technology, this film offers a particularly high oxygen barrier and a thickness of just 21 μm. This adds 400 m to each roll of film and cuts down the number of stops for replacement.

The KRONE excellent Slide Smart film wrap

This film wrap is a very cost-effective, 3-layer film wrap that offers all the good wrapping features. This wrap is used by KRONE customers around the world who operate their machines in normal conditions.

The KRONE excellent RoundWrap peripheral film

The KRONE excellent RoundWrap peripheral film is used instead of net wrap. The 5-layer film covers the bale over the edges and maintains the bale shape thanks to its excellent adhesive quality and so adds even more quality to your silage.

The double tines

The tines are 6 mm thick and have large-diameter coils – two properties that make them particularly resistant and hard-wearing. Spaced at 55 mm, they are arranged in a ‘W’ line on the pick-up. This staggered arrangement cuts out the risk of peak loads, because it avoids all tines being in work at the same time. As a result, the crop is always fed in a consistent flow and across the full working width - even in heavy crops, sloping fields or in curves.

The KRONE feed rotor

The feed rotor and the cutting rotor that make up the XCut cutting system stand out for superior crop feeds, quiet running and absolute reliability while delivering excellent quality cuts.

The feed rotor

Measuring 53 cm in diameter, the KRONE feed rotor with its two V-type rows of tines delivers a powerful, reliable and absolutely consistent crop flow into the bale chamber.

The rotor cutter

Featuring three rows of tines and a massive 53 cm diameter, the powerful XCut rotor has the capacity to provide consistent crop flows and ensure precision cuts while spreading the material across the full width of the feed chamber, which is essential for forming firm edges.

The quality of cut

The double tines pull the crops consistently through the blades. The gap between the tines and the blades is extremely small so that not a single haulm will pass the blades without cutting. This so-called controlled cut is very power efficient.

The driveline

The cutting rotor is powered by oversize spur gears which cope with the highest possible loads. They provide the rotor with the most dependable drive even in less than uniform swaths.

The feed chamber

Should the feed chamber block up in difficult conditions, the operator can simply lower the blade cassette hydraulically to remove the blockage easily and quickly. The hydraulic blade group control system will automatically retract the blades to clear the chamber and allow the crop to flow again.

Changing the blades

To fit or remove the blades, simply lower the cassette. Then release all springs on the individual blades in one operation and remove the blades conveniently from above.

Individual blade protection

The blades are spring loaded, which allows them to break back when hitting an object and then resume their working position automatically when the object has passed, a system that results in dependable and high-quality cuts.

The blade spacing

Depending on the required length of cut, the blade cassette of the XCut cutting system has a maximum of 17 or 26 blades. When 8, 9 or 17 blades are in working position, the blades are spaced at 128 mm or 64 mm whereas the use of 13 or 26 blades reduces the spacings to 84 mm or 42 mm.

Manual blade group control

The manual control is a long lever that takes little effort to operate. Retracting half the number of blades doubles the length of cut and retracting all blades terminates all cutting.

Hydraulic blade group control

The hydraulic blade group control system is an option and the system is operated from the tractor seat, hence saving valuable time.

The clean cut

The knife cuts the net or film across its full width. After a latch is released, the knife swings into the tensioned net or film and applies a clean cut.

The KRONE on-board electronic system and the operator terminals

The KRONE Medium electronic system brings fun to field work, making the Comprima round balers easier to use and notching up the work rate. KRONE offers a choice of four different terminals that cater for two different applications and needs.

The Beta II operator terminal

The easy-to-use Beta II terminal offers a 4.3-inch colour display screen and a easy-use touch pad with eight well-grouped keys. The unit displays baling pressures, bale diameters, start of tying/wrapping and bale counts and allows operators to retrieve all spool and sensor functions.

The Delta operator terminal

Delta has a 5.5-inch touch screen, a touch pad with 12 function keys and a dial, allowing operators to retrieve information on spool, sensor and diagnosing functions as well as yield data.

The CCI Cl 1200 operator terminal

Offering a large 12-inch colour touch screen, CCI 1200 displays the machine controls and camera footage side by side on the same screen. CCI 1200 is ISOBUS compatible and therefore a universal terminal that is ready for use on other machines as well.

The joystick and the camera

For added operator comfort, it also has inputs for an optional joystick (WTK) with customizable controls and for a CCTV camera and screen.

Existing tractor terminals

If the terminal on the tractor is ISOBUS compatible, it can log into the on-board electronic system of Comprima X-treme, which will then control the baler. There is no need for another extra terminal – a great boon for the user.

The Comprima fixed chamber balers

The KRONE F 125 and F 125 XC models impress by their simple, uncluttered and solid build along with their superior stability and exceptionally easy use and service.

The Comprima F 125 – the all-round machine

The Comprima F 125 and F 125 XC models produce fixed 1.25 m diameter bales. These versatile machines go into silage, hay and straw and impress by exceptionally light pulling, unmatched throughputs and greatest densities.

The semi-variable round baler Comprima F 155 (XC)

The Comprima F 155 model produces 1.25-1.50 m diameter bales. Operators simply set the required diameter in 5 cm increments on an easy-to-use system. The machine combines many advantages of fixed and variable bale chambers. For example, its uncluttered build makes it more cost-effective and easier to service and maintain than a variable chamber round baler. It produces bales of various diameters by building the pressure from outside, resulting in bales that have a very small and soft core at larger diameters, making them heavier in weight.

Comprima with variable bale chamber

Comprima V and CV from KRONE stand out for providing superior flexibility and uncompromised stability as they perform in enduring and heavy-duty applications. They allow operators to set bale diameters steplessly from 1.00 m to 2.05 m to handle different crops, conditions and customer requirements.

The variable chamber round balers Comprima V

The Comprima V 150 (XC), V 180 (XC) and V 210 XC with variable bale chambers allow operators to enter the required bale diameter to the operator terminal in the tractor cab. The diameters can be set steplessly from 1.00 m to 1.50 m or to 1.80 m or 2.05 m. This way, you are set to handle all crops and conditions. Smaller bale sizes are often preferred in grass silage, whereas larger bales are more typical in hay and straw. It is also possible to choose a softer core, which is useful in hay, as it allows moisture to evaporate from the bale.

The semi-variable bale chamber

The Comprima F und CF 155 XC models have semi-variable bale chambers that produce 1.25-1.50 m diameter bales of great densities and tidy shapes. The diameter is changed in 5 cm increments. Thanks to their simple and uncluttered build, these balers are particularly easy to service, resulting in less time spent on attending the machine and increased productivity. The bale diameter is set by refitting two pins, and the general bale density is adjustable too.

The variable bale chamber

The variable bale chamber on the Comprima V and CV models produces steplessly adjustable bale diameters of 1.00 m to 1.50 m or 1.80 m or 2.05 m. The specific diameter is entered into the cab-based control unit. Further custom parameters include the bale and core densities, which are set on a hydraulic pressure control valve, with an electrical option available. The pressure increases as the bale grows to ensure particularly uniform densities.

The baling principle on the fixed chamber

At the beginning of the filling cycle, the bale chamber has slightly 'boxy' proportions, which leads to a milling effect. This, in turn, increases the bale density at this early stage of baling. As the chamber fills up with material, the elevator changes its path and becomes circular until the bale reaches its set diameter and density.

The unique semi-variable baling system

Three components are key to this technology: the tensioning arm, the suspension strut, and the tensioning kinematics. The top tensioning arm is pulled down as the bale chamber fills up, increasing the available space inside the chamber and allowing more material to enter. The path of the tensioning arm is limited by a pin set on the outside of the machine, which defines the diameter of the bale. The use of a suspension strut in combination with tensioning kinematics leads to maximum densities, both in the core and the outer layers.

The baling principle on the variable chamber

The variable bale chamber is formed by two belt-and-slat elevators that shape the bale as it grows to its preset diameter. The system uses a double swing at the front and the tensioning arm at the rear, which combine with springs and hydraulic rams to progressively increase the pressure as the bale grows. This technology produces an exceptionally high baling pressure.

The NovoGrip belt-and-slat elevator

Thanks to its special design, the NovoGrip belt-and-slat elevator suits all types of crops - straw and hay, wilted material, and wet silage, performing reliably in all these conditions and treating the crop gently as the slats mesh with the bale for maximum densities and effective bale roll.

The full width

The wrapping unit applies the net or film across the full width of the bale and covers its edges. KRONE has eliminated stretching the film at the start of wrapping and gathering it before cutting, which saves time and material.

The well-shaped bales

The brake for the net/film and the bracket that spreads the film to bale width ensure an effective and full-cover wrap.

The KRONE EasyFlow pick-up

The EasyFlow pick-up pivots sideways and is known as the pick-up that clears the field effectively even in the most difficult conditions and at high work rates. More than that, its rugged build with very few moving parts gives an exceptionally dependable performance.

Better without cam track

KRONE had good reasons for opting against cam track controlled tines on the EasyFlow pick-up. Instead of using many moving parts that are prone to wear, KRONE prefers special strippers that ensure the angle and length of the tines is always correct.

The crop press roller

The crop press roller supports the work of the pick-up by detecting the size of the swath and preparing it for effective gathering. Its height is adjusted easily to adapt to the current crop, the swath volume and ground speed.

The guide wheels

The EasyFlow pick-up is guided by two small side-mounted gauge wheels. The pick-up height is changed by refitting a pin in a hole pattern.

The hitch ring

Comprima has a standard 40 mm hitch ring for bottom- or top-mount attachment. A notch system adjusts the drawbar quickly to the required attachment height. In addition to this, there is a choice of three further hitch options available to meet specific needs in specific countries.

The ball hitch

There is also a K80 ball hitch available for bottom attachment. This warrants smoothest rides, better manoeuvrability and minimum wear.

The air brake

An air brake system is standard specification on both the single axle and tandem axle models. A hydraulic brake is available for the export machines.

The hydraulic oil filter

For utmost reliability, the hydraulic system on Comprima V, CF and CV has an upstream oil strainer that indicates visually the level of oil contamination.
