Silage wrap needs to be strong and resilient to resist tears and punctures. It also must adhere well and provide a sound oxygen barrier to support fermentation.
Silotite Five Layer and Silotite Pro are multi-layered films designed for trouble-free wrapping. They’re UV-stabilised and ideal for Australian conditions. For quality silage wrap Australia, check this out.
Tama Australia stocks a range of coloured silage wraps for round and square bales. The coloured wrap helps to identify the bale and reduce waste.
Triowrap(tm)
A robust silage film made of co-extruded multi-layers for superior strength. It is UV-stabilised and designed for Australian conditions. It is suitable for wrapping both round and square bales. It also offers high pre-stretch levels of up to 80%, which means more bales can be wrapped per reel and hour.
It has good opacity but not as high as silage stretch wraps. It is easy to handle and has a high level of weathering resistance.
An experiment investigated changes in fermentation variables and microbial composition while storing small-scale rectangular-shaped forage bales. The forage was harvested from a field of intelligent hiQ Orkel balers (Orkel AS, Fannrem, Norway) and wilted to three different dry matter (DM) contents overnight.
The forage was then baled into haylage with a low, medium and high DM content in small rectangular-shaped bales (0*80 m x 0*48 m x 0*36 m). Each bale was individually wrapped with ten layers of a white silage stretch film (Horsewrap 360 mm, Trioplast AB, Sweden). The bales were stored for short (2 months) or long (14 months) periods before opening and sampling. For quality silage wrap Australia, check this out.
TrioPlus(r)
Triowrap(r) is a multi-layered silage film that can wrap both round and square bales. It is designed to withstand Australian conditions and features an adequate oxygen barrier. It is also ideal for repairing holes caused by machinery or accidental tears. It is available in various colours, and $5 from every roll sold will be donated to the McGrath Foundation, APCR, and Children’s Cancer Fund.
Depending on the model, it is a co-extruded film with 3-7 layers. It is designed to withstand high-speed wrapping machinery and harsh Australian conditions. It has an excellent oxygen barrier to minimise spoilage and is UV-stabilised for up to 12 months. It is also suitable for tight bales.
SilaWRAP(tm)
The seven-layer film provides the best protection for a bale, minimising oxygen ingress and weed growth. It can improve feed quality, reduce hay losses, and even control mould and mildew.
The 7-layer film is available in various sizes, each designed for use on specific balers and wrapping machinery. These include a high-performance version for use on 3D and combi wrappers and a cost-effective option suitable for newer machines.
A 21-micron film, SILOPOWER offers the benefits of a 7-layer but at a more affordable price point. With 1900m of reel length, this film can help you achieve an extra two or three bales wrapped for each reel change. For quality silage wrap Australia, check this out.
Grass Cuvva
Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum tadpoleanum) is Australia’s most common lawn variety, especially in warmer areas. It is a beautiful, low-maintenance turf that looks good all year round, requires minimal watering and mowing, is heat tolerant, and can quickly adapt to the unique Australian climate conditions.
It has a high puncture resistance and is tough to withstand rigorous silage wrap machinery and harsh Australian conditions. It is also available in coloured wraps, which can raise awareness of a charitable cause or distinguish different silage cuts.
Unipak Grass Cuvva is made from a 7-layer blown coextruded film to maximise tack performance and offer good puncture resistance. It is ideal for wrapping softer grass, oat silage, and hay. It can be combined with net replacement film to improve bale formation and reduce oxygen ingress during the ensilaging process. It has a 70% stretch and is supplied on plastic cores.
When it comes to hay baling, producers are always looking for ways to optimise day-to-day operations. One of the most commonly adopted practices is to wrap hay bales to improve their quality and preservation. Silage Wrap helps to keep oxygen out and creates an airtight environment that can significantly increase the feed value of the hay. It is also cost-effective and can be done quickly and easily.
