What You Need to Know About Round Baler Chains Used For Balers
What are Baler Chains?
Baler chains are heavy-duty chains used in baling equipment to transfer power and ensure the movement of mechanical parts within the baler. They connect key components such as the feeder, plunger, and bale chamber, enabling the compression and formation of hay or straw bales.
Types Of Baler Chains
In agricultural machinery, round and square balers usually use high-strength, wear-resistant industrial chains to adapt to harsh working environments and withstand large loads. Common chain models include:
A Type Steel Agricultural Chains
A-type steel agricultural chains are commonly used in agricultural machinery. They are highly strong and wear-resistant and are suitable for the drive and conveyor systems of balers.
CA Type Steel Agricultural Chains
CA-type steel agricultural chain specially designed for agricultural machinery and is often used as the core component of round and square balers. It has good tensile strength and wear resistance.
Heavy Duty Roller Chains
Suitable for heavy-duty and high-strength applications, often used in balers requiring higher load capacity. Requires stronger sprockets and machinery due to its weight and load capacity.

Application Of Baler Chains
Baler chains are used in various applications within the agricultural sector:
Hay Baling: Most commonly used in hay baling operations, where the chain helps to move hay into the baling chamber and compress it into manageable bales.
Straw Baling: Straw is typically more fibrous and dense than hay, so baler chains must be designed to handle the tougher material without excessive wear.
Silage Baling: Silage baling often involves wet material, which requires chains that are resistant to corrosion and moisture damage.
Cotton Baling: Cotton balers also use chains to help compress the harvested cotton into bales.
