Bio Baler

[tommer9]

I went to a demonstration of an awesome machine today. A good friend of mine runs a company on Bodmin Moor, called Moor Heat, and has just invested in this bit of kit. It basically mulches anything you throw at it.....gorse, blackthorn etc etc etc.

The 1/3 ton bales have the equivalent energy to a third of a barrel of crude. They take about 3 months to dry, and will go in a biobale burner to create heat that will then dry logs, materials for wood briquettes etc etc.

There are 2 in the UK i believe, and 16 in the world. He goes all over the country with the kit if anyone is interested BTW.

Its just a big bar made from 4x4 box section to protect the tractor as it bends the stuff down.

i like that ! !!! does it do a cleaner job if he slows down a gear or two ? not a criticisim just an observation ?

[tommer9]

Npo it think its prtty much ' thats the speed'. Actually it is incredibly clean after he has passed with that machine, and the bales are as they want them, in order to dry iun the required time. The bales dont heat up at all, like chip does, and in 3 months are at 30% moisture iun the middle. The system is excellent where ramorum infected plants are present. The bales can be made, the kit is disinfected, and the bales transported (covered) to the storage site, where they are covered for 3 months in breathable membrane, then chiped into covered artic lorries, then sent to biomass plants, meaning that infected sites can be properly cleaned up and the infected material completely remioved. The advantage here aswell is that almost no re-seeding takes place as nearly all material is removed.
