A flexible compactor for customers wanting fewer kilos of forage per bale.

The MC850 flex model, an evolution of the MC850 model, is characterized by its unique kit which allows the compactor to limit the bales’ weight. Through intuitive settings, customers requiring low volumes of feeding may seamlessly regulate their bale size, producing smaller Orkel bales than before.

The weight of a flex bale starts at approximately 100 kg, and may range up to 450 kg, according to customer preference. Compared to the initial MC850 model, the MC850 flex model is equipped with a kit and specialized bale settings, limiting the bale diameter to 50 cm. Furthermore, the compactor’s wrapper unit is re-sized to fit a 200 – 300 mm wide wrapping film. Combined, the additional characteristics of the MC850 flex model creates an easy-to-handle compactor unit.

In line with other Orkel models, the MC850 flex compactor is currently compatible with over 25 different materials and is still expanding to new areas of use.
