Emilia Bartolik|3 minutes to read

The agricultural industry demands reliable and durable components to maintain production continuity and ensure high-quality final products. Therefore, it is crucial to keep agricultural machinery in good condition. Kramp offers a range of solutions to facilitate work on your farm. One such solution is baler belts, which must withstand intensive use and harsh working conditions. Sławomir Szymczak, a product specialist at Kramp, discusses the characteristics of Kramp belts and the joining options offered by MATO connections and mobile splicing tools.

Types of Kramp Belt Structures

Kramp provides belts with three different structures:

  1. Rice Structure - Ideal for most applications, providing good grip and durability.
  2. Fine Structure - Optimal for more delicate materials, minimizing damage during baling.
  3. Chevron Structure - Mainly used in John Deere balers, ensuring the highest performance in tough conditions.

“These belts are available in various widths, allowing customization to meet the specific needs of each baler,” emphasizes Sławomir Szymczak.

Technology

Kramp baler belts are distinguished by their advanced three-layer technology, designed to perform even in the toughest conditions. The use of state-of-the-art production technologies and high-quality materials ensures these belts have a long lifespan and high baling efficiency.

Main Advantages of Kramp Belts

  • Flexibility: Reduces the risk of damage caused by tension.
  • Durability and Strength: Thanks to a patented blend of polyester and nylon layers.

Replacing Baler Belts

When replacing a belt, it is important to pay attention to its length, as old belts may be stretched by up to 50 cm compared to new ones. “Customers can bring the old belt to a Powered by Kramp, Grene store, or to one of our dealers, where it will be repaired or a new one made to the correct dimensions. Alternatively, all belts can be replaced according to the length, width, and structure table available for each baler model,” advises Sławomir Szymczak from Kramp.

MATO Connections and Mobile Splicing Tools

MATO connections are a reliable solution for joining belts. The MATO plate connector is made of high-quality stainless steel, featuring a low-profile design that ensures a smooth surface at the joint.

Advantages of MATO Connections

  • Smooth Surface: Eliminates snagging when using net wrap.
  • Durability: High-quality stainless steel ensures long life.

An installation tool, such as the U20 Profi 19 vise, is required for using MATO connectors, but customers can also take advantage of splicing services offered by selected Powered by Kramp, Grene stores, and selected dealers. “For more self-sufficient users, mobile splicing tools are available, allowing for self-repair and belt joining,” adds Sławomir Szymczak.

Why Choose Kramp Belts?

By choosing Kramp belts, customers can be assured of high quality and fit for almost any type and model of baler. These belts are designed to work in heavy conditions, making them an ideal choice for the most demanding farmers.

Summary

Thanks to advanced technology and high-quality materials, Kramp baler belts offer unmatched quality and durability. The availability of various structures and widths allows for the customization of belts to the specific needs of each baler, ensuring optimal performance and a long machine lifespan.
