Agricultural wrap manufacturer Berry Global has highlighted the potential benefits of using its Baletite wrap in tandem with SilotitePro for film-on-film wrapping.
Film-on-film sees Baletite used instead of netwrap, applied to the bale in the opposite direction to the outer bale wrap to avoid oxygen ingress and provide additional protection to the bale.
According to trials conducted by Dr Dave Davies, from Silage Solutions Limited, in real working farm conditions, demonstrated that F&F wrapped bales had:
- 7.5% less DM (Dry Matter) losses on F&F bales compared to netwrap bales due to an enhanced fermentation process.
- 80% less DM losses on F&F bales compared to netwrap bales due to mould formation on the bale.
- an overall 52% reduction on F&F bales compared to netwrap bales in DM losses.
“We are continually looking for ways to add value for our customers, developing solutions that take advantage of the latest innovations in film and baler technology,” said Bart Geeraert, Commercial Director of Berry Global’s Flexible Agriculture business.
“Film&Film provides superior protection, ease of use, and easier recycling when compared to traditional netwrap. We have seen excellent results in the field with farmers already using the combination of Baletite and SilotitePro and we are sure that new users will see the same benefits in the quality of their bales.”
