Knotter for CLAAS Baler Part No. 0008475323 and 000864690 Agrosikora

Characteristics of the knotter for CLAAS square balers

Knotter for CLAAS square balersis a precise, multi-element mechanism responsible for tying straw or hay bales during the baling process. It is one of the most critical systems in the baler, as it enables the final stage of forming the finished product for transport or storage.Knotter for CLAAS square balersmarked with part number 00 0847 532 3 or 00 0864 690 0, consists of a series of cooperating components: twine retainers, needles, knives, and tensioners, which together allow for the automatic tying and cutting of the twine after the baling cycle is complete. Differences between these numbers may result from design versions, modifications, or the scope of the set's completeness.

Location of the knotter in a CLAAS machine

Knotter for CLAAS square balersis located directly above the baling chamber at the rear of the machine. Typically, several knotters are mounted in a row – each responsible for tying one section of the bale, ensuring the stability of the entire cube.Knotter for CLAAS square balersis used in self-propelled or towed balers, such as the MARKANT or older models of the QUADRANT series. Although very rare, it is also used in special combine harvester attachments in configurations integrated with a baler collecting straw directly from the swath.

Application and functions of the CLAAS knotter

Knotter for CLAAS square balersis responsible for performing a durable tie on every bale. Key tasks include guiding the twine around the bale, forming the knot, and automatically cutting the twine after the cycle is finished.Knotter for CLAAS square balersoperates in an automated manner, synchronised with the work of the compression plunger. The design must ensure high reliability and accuracy, as the baler operates in conditions of high dust, debris, and continuous load. The correct functioning of the knotter is crucial for maintaining bale integrity, reducing material loss, and optimising field operations.
