Silo covers (nylon silage)

Silage covers

Silo covers are used to protect and preserve fresh animal fodder against external factors in fattening and dairy farms. These covers are usually produced in opaque form to protect fodder from sunlight. Semanplast Parse has the ability to produce these coatings according to customers’ requests.

Silage is actually packaged fodder that helps farmers and ranchers provide food for cattle and sheep during the cold winter and fall seasons when pastures do not have adequate vegetation. For ensiling, the forage is chopped before it is completely dried, then fermented to preserve nutrients such as sugars and proteins, and finally covered with stretch nylon. By creating anaerobic conditions in the fodder, the silage coating allows the fodder to be stored for a long time and its taste does not change much.

These coatings are usually produced with a thickness of 22 to 25 microns, and according to their production with a five-layer machine and special additives, they can provide a strength equal to 40 MPa. In this way, they create a suitable insulation against moisture. .

We are able to reduce the thickness of the films to 22 microns and still maintain the quality against punctures and tears. As a result, the length of the roll will increase by about 13%, and this will be equivalent to 1700 meters longer, with which we can make three Packed more bales and also greatly reduced packing time.
