Round baler implement with bale film welding

A baler implement comprising:

• a support structure;
• a bale formation system having a plurality of side-by-side forming belts circulating in an endless loop and defining a baling chamber configured to form crop material into a bale having a cylindrical shape;
• a wrap system configured to contain a supply of a wrap material and including a feed system configured for inserting the wrap material into the baling chamber to wrap the bale with the wrap material;
• a heating element moveable relative to the support structure between an adjacent pair of the plurality of side-by-side forming belts into the baling chamber, wherein the heating element is moveable between an inserted position in which the heating element is disposed within the baling chamber for contacting the wrap material in pressing engagement within the baling chamber for welding layers of the wrap material together, and a retracted position in which the heating element is disposed outside of the baling chamber.
