Performance under transportation: When transporting bales, it’s natural that they get thrown around a bit more than you’d like. This is unavoidable, but that’s why it’s important to have strong, durable wrapping. Net replacement film creates a tight, cylindrical bale. It’s more durable because there’s no weak spots, and that means it can stand up to a lot more handling than bales wrapped in traditional net wrap. With less risk of damage, you have a much greater chance of producing high quality silage.
Environmentally friendly: Net replacement film is a much more environmentally friendly option than old net wrap. This is because the wrap used for the inner baling is made from the same kind of industry films or plastic materials as the outer packaging. When it comes time to recycle, it’s easy to sort the used packaging. With net wrapping, it’s often difficult to sort the fine web-like netting from the actual fodder and silage film.
Time and effort: Net replacement film is made to specifically suit the newer generation of combination round baler machines, or combo bale wrappers. Ultimately, this means the process becomes basically a one-man job, saving valuable work hours and labour costs. This is one of the many reasons why net replacement film is a much smarter choice than traditional net wrap.
If the net replacement film is used efficiently, it can also reduce the film that is being applied on the secondary layer, by substituting the first cycle of film.
