Net Replacement Film

    Net Replacement Film, also known as barrel wrap, is less elastic than the regular net wrap. This means that the bale is held more tightly. The wrapping process also means there are often more than eight layers of plastic around the bale, making it difficult for air to penetrate. This improves silage quality and storage life.

    The film-on-film technology reduces the size of a bale by up to 5cm. This may not sound likemuch, but reducing the bale diameter from 128cm to 123cm increases the bale density by over 8 percent. Less oxygen inside the bale increases feed quality. Denser bales are also easier to handle as your attachments can grab them more easily.

    Another advantage is that there's no need to separate net and film when opening bales. This reduces feeding time, makes waste disposal easier and reduces costs. It's important to use a net replacement film of the correct width and thickness for your baler. Using film of the wrong size and/or not setting up your baler correctly for the film can cause problems. Talk to your agricultural machinery supplier about the best set-up for your baler.

    So if you want higher quality silage in easier-to-handle bales, as well as increased feed protection, consider switching to net replacement film. This latest advance in agricultural technology will make your silage production more efficient.
