SIPMA

Sipma wrappers are some of the most popular agricultural machines used for wrapping hay, straw or silage bales with film. Their robust design, efficiency and precise operation guarantee efficient work during harvesting. In order for these machines to operate reliably for a long time, it is essential to use high-quality spare and operating parts. In this article, we present the key parts of Sipma wrappers, their importance and tips for selection and maintenance.

The most important parts for Sipma wrappers

1. Film pressure roller
   • Responsible for evenly feeding film onto bales.
   • Ensures precise wrapping and bale stability, which is crucial for proper silage fermentation.
2. Film cutting knives
   • The component responsible for precisely cutting the film after the wrapping process is complete.
   • Regular sharpening or replacement of the knives prevents film tearing and loss of tightness of the wrapped bale.
3. Film tensioners
   • Control the tension of the film during wrapping to ensure optimal tightness and even coverage.
   • Worn tensioners can lead to improper film alignment.
4. Chains and gears
   • Key drive components responsible for the rotational movement of the platform and wrapper arm.
   • Regular inspection of the condition of chains and sprockets prevents breakdowns and downtime.
5. Hydraulic cylinders
   • They control the raising and lowering of the wrapper arm and the movements of the platform.
   • Damage to the actuators leads to machine operation problems.
6. Swivel plates and rollers
   • They are responsible for the rotation of the bale during the wrapping process.
   • Their wear can affect uneven bale wrapping.
7. Control elements
   • Modern Sipma wrappers are equipped with advanced electronics and controllers that oversee the wrapping process.
   • Sensors, displays and controllers must be in working order for the machine's operation to be precise and trouble-free.
8. Wheels and tires
   • Adequate tires ensure the stability of the wrapper when operating on varied terrain.
   • Worn tires can reduce machine performance and lead to damage.

What is the importance of quality parts?

Using the right spare and operating parts for Sipma wrappers is crucial for:

• Operational efficiency - quality components ensure continuous machine operation and minimize the risk of breakdowns during the season.
• Wrapping precision - efficient knives, tensioners and rollers ensure that bales are wrapped evenly and tightly with film.
• Savings - regular replacement of worn parts prevents major breakdowns, which involve higher repair costs.
• Durability of the machine - proper maintenance and replacement of consumable parts extend the life of the wrapper.

How to choose the right parts for Sipma wrappers?

When buying spare parts, it is worthwhile to be guided by several important aspects:

1. Wrapper model
   • Select parts compatible with a specific model of Sipma wrapper (e.g. Sipma OS 7510, Sipma OZ 7500, Sipma TEKLA).
2. Original parts or replacements?
   • Original Sipma parts guarantee the highest quality and perfect fit, although they are slightly more expensive.
   • High-quality replacements are an economical solution that also performs well in regular operation.
3. Material of manufacture
   • Choose parts made of durable and resistant materials, especially for chains, blades and rollers.
4. Availability and delivery time
   • During the farming season, any interruption in service is costly, so choose parts that are available off-the-shelf.
5. Manufacturer and warranty
   • Bet on reliable suppliers that offer quality guarantees and technical support.

Maintenance tips for Sipma wrappers

In order to keep your wrapper working efficiently and reliably for many years, it's worth taking care of regular maintenance:

1. Cleaning after operation
   • Remove film residue, dirt and dust from machine components, especially from rollers and discs.
2. Lubricate moving components
   • Lubricate chains, sprockets and actuators regularly to minimize component wear.
3. Inspect knives and film tensioners
   • Check the sharpness of knives and the condition of tensioners to ensure precise cutting and even stretching of film.
4. Check the hydraulic system
   • Regularly check the hydraulic oil level and the condition of the cylinders. Replace seals as needed.
5. Seasonal inspection
   • Before the season begins, perform an inspection of all key components to minimize the risk of failure.

Summary

Properly selected parts for Sipma wrappers are essential for efficient and trouble-free operation. Regular maintenance, wear control and the use of high-quality components affect the precision of wrapping and the durability of the machine.
