BioBa Baler er
- Simple concept:
- In a single pass with only one operator
- Cut the stems and brushes - Compact into a dense round bale
- Benefits:
- Low Capital cost
- Small dimension machine
- Handling bales with conventionnal equipment
- Easy storage
- Bale dry out naturally
- Versatile machine for many purpose: natural forest, under power
lines, willow plantation, etc…

In the best condition, the BioBaler can produce
up to 45 bales per hour.
However, several factor will affect the productivity,
and finally the cost per dry tons of material (see next page)

However, the running cost of the BioBaler, might
be offset, by the value of the bale produced, and when considering the net cost of the BioBaler (running cost less bale value generated), the
- peration might be less expensive than
traditionnal clearing for example under power lines with foresty mulcher by example

BioBa Baler er features tures
Power is mechanically driven
from Tractor to the baler and mulching head to increase the efficiency.
Require 1000 RPM PTO intake Min. 200 HP (120 KW) Tractor
engine and more.

BioBa Baler er features tures
4 hydraulic features:
Swivel drawbar (allow to move the baler offset
from the tractor, on the left or right)
Front tail gate over the cutting header (control the
flow of biomass)
Lifting system 24 inches clearance(go over
- bstacle easily)
Back door (ejecting the bale)

After being harvested, the bales has the
advantage that they can be tranported easily with conventionnal equipment, and stored in the field,
- r close to the site where they will be use for.
SLIDE 25
Bale are drying ng out natural turally ly
Several observation across the world validated
the fact that biomass in a shape of a round bale produced by the Anderson BioBaler, will loose a lot of moisture content within 8 weeks during summer time.
Those observation, some documented, some
- thers not, noticed a decrease of the humidity
from 55% at the harvesting time, down to 18-20% 8 weeks later.
