High-capacity Multicrop feed hopper Multicrop The capacity of the feed hopper is approximately 13 m³, thus ensuring uninterrupted VARIO-Master V140 it works even when loading material at high intensity. To ensure the efficient processing of various materials, the hopper is equipped with dosing drum. Together with the feed screws, it ensures a steady flow of material into the elevator and the efficient processing of fibrous materials, such as grass or alfalfa.
Hydraulically controlled variable-volume compression chamber Two endless belts ensure consistent, high compaction of the material. The roll diameter and compaction density are set on the control terminal. Baling is possible 80–140 cm rolls of various diameters, adjusting the diameter every 5 cm. The hydraulic drive allows you to choose one of four the operating speeds of the compression chamber, adjusting it for different materials. Wrapping with netting or plastic film To maintain high roll quality, a reliable binding system is essential. As standard, VARIO-Master V140 supplied with dual-strap system, which allows the use of both network, both film. High bulk density 4 mm The thick-walled steel rollers are reinforced from the inside, and their special profile ensures high roll density and reliable rotation during pressing. Water Injection System The water injection system allows water to be mixed into the dry material during the pressing process. This helps improve the compaction of the material and creates better conditions for high-quality preservation. Return Lane The entire machine is equipped with return tape It collects the material that spills out during the pressing process and returns it to the inclined conveyor. This reduces material loss and prevents contamination. Long service life Large bearings and a precisely calibrated central lubrication system ensure reliable operation, reduced component wear, and a long service life for the machine.
Moving wrapping table The winding table moves under the pressing chamber and picks up the rolls directly from it. This ensures fast, gentle, and reliable transfer of the rolls to the winding zone. Double-wrap handle Installed as standard double-wrap handle with 2 × 750 mm Stretch film dispensers ensure high productivity. Patented plastic rollers allow for more efficient use of the film and enable more rolls to be wrapped with a single roll of film. Film-cutting mechanism The stainless steel blade ensures precise film cutting. The standard floating cutting mechanism allows the film to peel off easily, leaving no film residue stuck behind. Film Control System and Single-Film Mode If a roll of film runs out or the film breaks, the wrapping table automatically reduces the rotation speed until 50 % film overlap. The roll is then wound continuously without stopping. If it ends or is interrupted both rolls of film, the film control system automatically stops the wrapping process. Roll-off ramp The hydraulically lowered roll unloading ramp allows the wrapped roll to be gently placed on the ground and protects it from damage.

Regarding the ability to compress and wrap various loose materials VARIO-Master V140 It can be adapted for various tasks on the farm. Different harvest periods allow the machine to be used efficiently year-round, ensuring maximum productivity and utilization of the equipment. Corn Corn silage is made from the entire corn plant and is one of the most important feeds for high-yielding dairy and beef cattle. It is rich in energy, provided by the starch in the chopped corn kernels, as well as in fiber, which is essential for a balanced animal diet. As a result, corn silage provides excellent conditions for high milk yield and good fattening results. When the temperature is higher than 15 °C Depending on the temperature, the quality of the feed can deteriorate rapidly due to intense microbial activity. VARIO-Master V140 It ensures extremely high compaction of the material, which quickly removes air from the bale and creates optimal conditions for fermentation. This helps maintain the highest feed quality and ensures excellent shelf life. Corn cereal This is an excellent high-energy feed made from corn cobs and kernels. It is used to feed pigs, cattle, and other small ruminants. This type of silage has an exceptionally high energy value due to its high starch content and, compared to traditional concentrated feeds, offers a very good cost-benefit ratio. Crushed corn kernels give the feed more texture, making it easy for livestock to pick up and eat. Thanks to their compact roll shape, corn grain silage rolls are convenient to transport, store, and use when feeding in smaller quantities. Lucerne Along with corn silage, alfalfa silage is one of the most important staple feeds in cattle nutrition. High feed intake and particularly high structural efficiency contribute to higher milk yield. Growing alfalfa ensures a stable yield and improves soil quality. However, due to its low sugar content, it is difficult to preserve alfalfa using traditional methods. When baling it into bales with VARIO-Master V140, the quality of the silage improves significantly due to rapid, airtight sealing and effective compaction. Sugar beet pulp Sugar beet pulp silage has a very high energy value, is easily digestible, and is highly palatable to livestock. It is an excellent supplement to grass silage because, due to its negative nitrogen balance in the rumen, it helps balance the protein content in the diet. Sugar beet pulp silage contains little lactic acid, so its overall acidity is also low. To produce high-quality silage, it is particularly important to ensure high compaction and clean baling while the pulp is still warm. VARIO-Master V140 Rolls cool down faster, so they can be used for feeding sooner. Grass Grass silage is one of the most important staple feeds for cattle. The feed is produced from optimal grasses, grasses and clover mixture. Grasses with a high sugar content ensure a good fermentation process. When using VARIO-Master V140, thanks to the high density of the bales, even grasses with a higher cellulose content can be optimally compressed. Wood / wood chips Whether it's wood shavings, wood wool, bark mulch, wood chips whether pellets – VARIO-Master V140 can compress all of these materials into compact rolls. This makes transportation easier and helps save valuable storage space. The rolls can be transported by tractor, stacked on top of each other, or placed on pallets. The material, compressed into a roll, remains clean and dry. Complete feed mixture This is a balanced mixture of roughage and concentrate. The dry matter and energy content are precisely balanced, so rations made from this mixture have a positive effect on milk yield and animal health. To prepare the mixture for storage, the already fermented silage is mixed and preserved again. VARIO-Master V140 It allows you to prepare feed mixes quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. The rolls are easy to transport, making this an excellent solution for the feed trade as well. Cereal cereal This is silage made from the entire grain plant. The most commonly used types are barley, wheat, or triticale. Growing these crops ensures a stable yield and offers additional benefits when planning crop rotation. However, due to its relatively low energy content and the greater difficulty of preserving it using traditional methods, it is not easy to prepare silage from cereal grains. VARIO-Master V140 ensures optimal compaction of the material and rapid, airtight sealing, making it easy and reliable to produce high-quality silage. Other materials The VARIO-Master V140 can be used not only for feed but also for compressing various other bulk and organic materials, such as:

This helps save electricity and protects the drive, shafts, and transmission from additional loads. Technical Specifications
The system consists of weighing table, weighing terminal, and label printer with GÖWEIL logo or the client's logo. Four weighing cells are integrated directly into the wrapping table, and the display is mounted on the control panel. The wrapped rolls are weighed automatically, so the work process is not slowed down. Rolls can be weighed individually or analyzed as a whole batch. All settings can be easily configured on the terminal. The label printer displays information about the roll’s weight, date, time, and the uploaded logo. If labels are not needed, this feature can be disabled on the terminal. Adhesive labels and marking tapes are standard products available at specialty stores. The weighing system can also be installed on machines that are already in use. Unlike the uncalibrated version, calibrated weighing system It is certified for precision weighing and can be used in situations where official weight data is required in accordance with applicable metrological requirements. Integrated into the roll unloading ramp roll tilting mechanism allows you to gently place the roll on left or right side. When this feature is turned off, the roll moves forward as usual. Storing rolls placed on their ends, they can be removed more quickly and safely; moreover, this helps preserve the roll's shape and the film's integrity. Several key factors are important for producing high-quality silage:
If not all of these factors are optimal (for example, due to unfavorable weather conditions), silage additives helps improve silage quality, reduces the risk of improper fermentation, and prevents the feed from spoiling later on. Using self-priming pump with a filter and an electronic flow meter, silo feed-in via two stainless steel nozzles It is fed directly into the compression chamber. This ensures that the additive is evenly distributed throughout the material being compressed. The dosing system is ideal for both for lactic acid bacteria preparations, both low-corrosivity acidic silage additives. Note: The liquid additive container is not included in the package. Important: After each workday, the silage additive dosing system must be rinsed with water. The package includes
450 liters containers stainless steel container It is mounted directly on the machine and ensures that it is completely emptied. This allows for the efficient use of the entire silo load, reduces residue in the hopper, and makes it easier to clean the system after use.
