KUHN INTEGRAL ROTOR: 30 years of proven performance

For 30 years, the INTEGRAL ROTOR has been recognised for its high intake capacity, smooth crop flow and reliable performance. By combining crop transfer, feeding and distribution within one rotor, the system creates a continuous crop flow from pick-up to bale chamber. While the core principle remains unchanged, KUHN has continuously refined the technology to meet evolving customer needs and harvesting conditions.

Simple by design, efficient in operation


The strength of the INTEGRAL ROTOR lies in its simplicity. Integrating crop transfer, distribution and feeding into one rotor ensures a direct and uninterrupted crop flow, while reducing the number of moving parts. The result is efficient crop handling and dependable performance across a wide range of conditions.

Successful concepts are often based on simplicity," says Peter van Hoek, Product Manager at KUHN. "For 30 years, the INTEGRAL ROTOR has demonstrated its value through its efficient crop flow and a simple, robust design. At the same time, we have continuously developed the technology to keep pace with the needs of modern customers.

Benefits in the field

The continuous crop flow enables high working speeds, even in heavy crops and uneven swaths. The rotor also distributes the crop evenly across the bale chamber, contributing to consistent bale formation and uniform bale density. With fewer moving parts, maintenance requirements are reduced, supporting reliable operation throughout the season.

Continuous innovation


Over the years, KUHN has continued to enhance the INTEGRAL ROTOR concept. One example is KUHN's patented* elliptical rotor tine design, which creates a slicing action as the crop passes the knives. This contributes to smooth crop flow, excellent cutting quality and efficient crop intake.
 

Across our complete baler range


The INTEGRAL ROTOR is used throughout our baler range, including round balers, large square balers and baler-wrapper combinations. Its continued use across multiple machine categories highlights the enduring relevance of the concept for both farmers and contractors.
