Omnicut
The ultimate in crop cutting
Next to the standard integral rotor Vicon
offers the OmniCut Intake rotor. This large
diameter rotor takes the crop directly from
the pick-up en spreads this evenly to the
pre-chamber.
Where crop chopping is required, the operator
can choose to engage all 23 knives, with a
theoretical cutting length of 45mm, or select
alternate banks of 11 or 12 knives within
seconds. Every single knife is hydraulicly
protected against foreign objects.
Inspecting, sharpening and changing the
knives is a quick and easy job. The knives of
the OmniCut rotor are mounted on a frame
that slides out from the right hand side of
the baler.
Integral Rotor Technology
Vicon’s integration of a feed rotor into the
pickup raises intake performance to a new
level. Large diameter, heavy duty auger flights
are incorporated directly onto the outer
sections of the rotor, giving the crop nowhere
to go, but inside the baler.

Suits your Demands
in Every Crop
High efficiency plunger
The plunger is driven directly from the main gearbox. The drive is
transmitted by two crank shafts and two conrods which ensure even
loading on the plunger. The Plunger is supported by extra large
guide rollers (150 mm in diameter) which run on hardened rails,
resulting in minimum friction and minimum wear. In addition the
guide rollers are placed at the easily accessible outside of the bale
chamber, greatly reducing thte risk of fouling and damage. Due to
the optimum shape of balechamber and plunger a very high density
is reached. All greasing points from the plunger are connected to
one central greasing point near the knotters.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic bale density is controlled from your tractor seat, so
there is no need to leave your tractor. The oilflow is directly driven
from the main gearbox. By the use of a 3 meter long balechamber
this results in a denser bale. The bale is still completely in the
balechamber during tying. This prevents unwanted expansion.

Non Stop Baling
The Vicon LB series features a unique fully automatic protection
system for all vital parts in the event of an overload.
The main drive is protected by cam type torque limiters which are automatically activated in
case of an overload. They are located as close as possible to the components they protect,
including the feeder fork, rotor and pickup. No more time wasted replacing shear bolts, since
they have been completely eliminated from the main drivelines.
When a cam clutch is activated, the intake of crop is stopped. The clutch re-engages when the
operator reduces tractor PTO speed. The feeding system then works at low speed to clear
the blockage automatically before normal operation resumes. For maintenance and service
the pre-chamber inspection door easily can be opened for a clear entrance.
Increased reliability with reduced maintenance time
The automatic greasing system reduces maintenance time by taking care of all the greasing
points on the baler. This automatic greasing system is being monitored by the ISOBUS
software.

Easy access
With pivoting twine boxes the needle frame
and drivelines are very easily accessible for
monitoring and maintenance. The twine
boxes itself are closed to prevent pollution.
9
Binding without Stress
Less maintenance, more security
The knotters guarantee perfect bale density
by rapid and smooth tying. If the twine is not
running, this can directly be seen in the
tractor cab on the Terminal
Twine release during baling
During baling the twine release is in its normal
position and is holding tension on the twine
to ensure maximum density in the bale.
Twine release during binding
When the needles are coming upwards, the
twine release is becoming active and turns
backwards. The tension on the twine is
reduced and a tension free knot can be made.
Last bale ejector
After releasing the bale chamber pressure
the bale easliy can be moved out of the
balechamber. Standing next to the
balechamber the operator has excellent view
of the process. The bale is being moved out
of the balechamber by two rows of forced
steered tines.

Putting your Energy
into Good Use…
Vicon LB balers are putting the engery into good use
With an LB baler on the field you will have huge capacity against low fuel consumption. Next to that and even as important the baler works in
all crop conditions. Normal agricultural crops like silage and grain are no issue but also the though engery crops like tropical grass and hemp.
These crops can be baled without any adaption to the baler.
The balers are standard equiped with heavy duty bearings, special hardened plunger knives and rails.
