Choosing Silage Stretch Film

This guide supports general product selection. Confirm the final choice through a trial on the real load, equipment and application conditions.

Film is one part of the silage system

Silage preservation depends on bale preparation, wrapping practice, film, equipment and storage management together. Film is only one part of this chain.

Bale surface and wrapping pattern

Bale shape, rough surfaces and sharp plant residue can affect film integrity. Check wrap count, overlap, application tension and uninterrupted wrapping against equipment guidance.

UV exposure and storage

Sun, temperature changes, ground moisture and animal contact can challenge film integrity in outdoor storage. Storage location and bale placement matter.

Find damage early

Inspect for holes, cuts and incomplete coverage after wrapping. Prompt repair in line with the relevant procedure can help limit further damage.

Start with the right technical data

Bale size, wrapper model, intended wrap count, field and storage conditions and annual volume are useful for sampling and product selection.

Request a technical assessment for your application

Share your load, surface, machine and intended-use details so we can assess suitable product options together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Are more wraps always better?

Wrap count should be defined with bale conditions and the wrapping procedure. Unnecessary layers can add consumption, while insufficient coverage can affect protection.

What should I do if film is damaged?

Identify the damage promptly and repair it according to the product application guidance.

How is roll width selected?

Start with the wrapper’s accepted roll format and bale type, following the equipment maker’s technical instructions.
