Film-on-film technology refers to the application of film to the barrel of the bale in the bale chamber. The film binds the bale together which eliminates the need for string or net wrap. The film that binds the bale together forms a wrap layer and gives better film or plastic coverage on the largest surface of the bale. 

The advantages of chamber film 

•          Acts as a wrapping layer
•          Results in better shaped bales
•          Delivers higher quality silage
•          Makes recycling easier

The F5600 is controlled with an Expert Plus control console

It features a large graphic display; this allows the operator to monitor the baling process graphically from the control console.

The McHale F5600 Plus can revert back to the traditional method of using net wrap and the switch over process is simple. 

If the operator is doing hay or straw the switch back to net wrap is easy and user friendly.

Net loading has been optimised on the F5600 Plus baler by the simple yet effective “rock and roll” net loading system. 

The operator simply releases the straps on the spare roll of net on the machine platform and rocks the net roll from its storage position over the lip in the platform and rolls it into the net box.

Storage for an extra roll of net is provided on the baler platform.
