Description

The Vermeer Catapult CPX9000 Bale Processor is a two-bale-capacity processor designed for demanding bedding and forage distribution applications. This standard-wear configuration includes seven standard cut control bars, automatic bale feed, a powered sidewall, dual blower fans, and right- or left-hand discharge with 260-degree rotation. Its horizontal spread distance of up to 100 ft (30.5 m) helps place processed bale material across broad areas, while the two-bale capacity supports efficient handling of bales up to 6 ft x 5 ft (1.8 m x 1.5 m). The CPX9000 is suited to operations requiring controlled bale processing and flexible discharge positioning from a properly matched tractor.

Efficient Two-Bale Processing

The CPX9000 can accommodate two bales with a combined bale weight capacity of up to 2,500 lb (1,134 kg). Its standard automatic bale feed system helps manage bale loading, while the powered sidewall is included as standard equipment. The bale processor uses a flail drum fitted with 30 tempered-spring flails to process bale material before it is moved through the blower system.

Adjustable Cutting and Broad Distribution

Seven standard cut control bars provide material-processing control, with adjustment through a hand lever offering five settings. The CPX9000 uses two blower fans measuring 38.6 in (98 cm), with the front fan operating at 1,500 rpm and the rear fan at 1,000 rpm. Processed material can be discharged to either the right or left side, with 260 degrees of discharge rotation. The horizontal spread distance is up to 100 ft (30.5 m), supporting applications where wide material placement is required.
