Durable and resilient: Made from durable PE (polyethylene) material with 7-layer cast film technology, the packaging film has a good glossy surface, a more uniform thickness, and strong puncture and tear resistance to ensure safe packaging and long-lasting performance in harsh agricultural environments. UV resistant: The wrapping film is UV resistant and can be used for up to 12 months in light conditions, protecting your silage and bales from sun damage. Highly stretchable: The high elasticity of the wrap film enables tight, secure wrapping for all kinds of round bales and square bales, minimising air exposure and ensuring fast processing of straw and hay. Optimised fermentation: The agricultural silage film is designed to optimise the fermentation process, increase the nutritional value of hay, straw, and other agricultural products. Easy to use: The wrapper film is designed for silage and hay bales, with a core diameter of 52 mm, and can be easily installed and used on the machine. Good to know: Food packaging is not applicable. Colour: Green Material: PE (polyethylene) Length: 1800 m Width: 50 cm Thickness: 25 µm Core diameter: 9 cm
This agricultural stretch film is designed for farmers and agricultural professionals seeking optimal packaging, insulation, and fermentation for hay, straw, and other baled crops. Its key benefit is providing durable, UV-resistant, and highly stretchable protection that enhances nutritional value and minimizes spoilage. A key consideration is that this film is not suitable for food packaging.

How long can this film protect bales from UV damage?
The film is UV resistant and can be used for up to 12 months in light conditions.
Is this film suitable for wrapping food products?
No, this agricultural stretch film is not applicable for food packaging.
What are the dimensions of the film roll?
The roll measures 50 cm in width and 1800 m in length, with a thickness of 25 µm.
What is the core diameter of the roll?
The core diameter is 9 cm, designed for compatibility with standard bale wrapper machines.
What is the main benefit of using this film for hay and straw?
It helps optimize the fermentation process, increase nutritional value, and protect the baled products from environmental damage, thereby reducing spoilage.
Can this film be used for both round and square bales?
Yes, the high elasticity of the wrap film enables tight, secure wrapping for all kinds of round bales and square bales.
Troubleshooting
Film not stretching sufficiently
Check the pre-stretch settings on your wrapper machine. Ensure the film is threaded correctly through any tensioning or pre-stretching components. Verify that the film is not too cold, which can reduce elasticity.
Film tearing during application
Inspect the film roll for any nicks or damage before loading. Ensure there are no sharp edges on the bale or the wrapper machine. Adjust the tension settings on the wrapper if they are too high for the film's resistance.
Poor seal/air leakage
Ensure the film is applied with adequate overlap between layers. Check that the film is adequately stretched to create a tight seal against the bale. Avoid wrapping in excessively windy conditions that can disrupt application.
Film adhesion issues
Ensure the bale surface is relatively clean and dry. The adhesive properties are activated by the stretch and contact with the bale. Check that the film is not past its shelf life and has been stored correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Offers excellent puncture and tear resistance for reliable bale protection.
Provides up to 12 months of UV protection, crucial for outdoor storage.
High stretchability allows for tight, secure bale wrapping to minimize air exposure.
Aids in optimizing the fermentation process, enhancing fodder quality.
Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance in various weather conditions.
Cons
Not suitable for direct food packaging applications.
Requires a compatible bale wrapper machine for effective application.
Thickness of 25 µm may be insufficient for extremely abrasive conditions without careful handling.
Requires proper storage before use to maintain its properties.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your bale wrapper machine is in good working order.
Mount the roll of stretch film onto the machine's dispenser, ensuring it rotates freely.
Thread the film through the machine's pre-stretch mechanism (if applicable) and secure the leading edge to the bale.
Follow your specific bale wrapper machine's instructions for initiating the wrapping process.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most standard agricultural bale wrappers designed for silage film rolls.
The core diameter is 9 cm, designed to fit standard dispenser spindles.
Suitable for wrapping round bales and square bales.
Care:
Store the film rolls in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve their properties before use.
Keep rolls upright to prevent deformation.
Handle rolls carefully to avoid accidental punctures or tears.
Clean the bale wrapper machine regularly according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
