Efficient silage film for optimum crop preservation

Silage film is an indispensable aid in modern agriculture. It is used to preserve silage and ensures that feed remains fresh and nutritious for longer periods of time. Thanks to its special properties (e.g. waterproof) and UV stability , it offers optimum protection against the weather and prevents the ingress of oxygen, which would accelerate spoilage.

Quality silage films for every need

There are different requirements for silo covers, depending on the area of application and the specific conditions on site. Our quality silage films are designed to meet these requirements. They offer high tear resistance and are available in different thicknesses and sizes to suit your exact needs.

Tarpaulin and cover film for biogas plants

The correct storage of biomass plays a decisive role in biogas plants in particular. Our silage films are ideal for covering fermentation tanks and ensure that the fermentation process runs undisturbed and the maximum energy potential is exploited.

UV-stable silage films for long-lasting protection

Solar radiation can damage silage films over time. Our silage films are characterized by high UV stability, which ensures long-lasting protection, even in intense sunlight. This preserves the quality of the silage over long periods of time.

Covering silage correctly in 5 steps

The airtight covering of silage: professional application enables high-quality feed

At the start of every ensiling process, it is important that the crop is placed cleanly in the feed silo. To ensure optimum protection and appropriate sealing at the side edges of the silo, the side wall film is laid out along the silo side walls. The film on the side walls should extend 1 meter into the feed silo at the bottom and be able to be wrapped around 1 meter above the feed silage. This effectively prevents corner losses.
After the crop has been harvested, a trough should be made in the silage along the silo wall before the side wall film is wrapped. This is where the sandbags will later be placed for optimum weighting.
Before the actual silage cover film is applied, it is recommended to use underlay film (also known as suction film) for all types of silage. Underlay films with a thickness of 40 μm are elastic and are pressed against the forage by adhesive forces, so to speak. The absorbent film thus ensures that very little air is trapped under the silage film. The silage tarpaulin is then laid on this underlay film.

A new development is special silage film in which the film is combined with an underlay film. This system not only saves material costs but also labor costs, as only a single sheet needs to be laid. This is particularly advantageous in windy weather.
Once the film has been laid, the silo protection grid is attached to protect the feed silo from damage caused by wild animals or environmental influences.

Finally, the silo grid is weighted down with the silage bags.

FAQ - Silage film

What is silage film and what is it used for?
Silage film is a special plastic film that is used in agriculture to cover silage heaps. Its main function is to protect the silage from the weather and to create an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment. This promotes the fermentation process and prevents the loss of nutrients and the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi.

How should silage film be used correctly?
The correct application of silage film is crucial for the quality of the silage. First, the silage pile should be evenly formed and compacted. The silage film is then laid tightly over the pile without any folds and weighted down at the edges to ensure a secure hold. It is important to repair holes or tears in the film immediately to prevent oxygen ingress.

How do I dispose of silage film after use?
After use, silage film should not simply be thrown away as it can harm the environment. Many countries and regions have special recycling or disposal programs for agricultural film. It is advisable to contact local authorities or agricultural organizations for information on the correct disposal methods.

Why is UV stability so important for silage films?

The UV stability of silage films is crucial to protect them from the damaging effects of sunlight. UV rays can make the film brittle over time and reduce its protective effect. High UV stability ensures the longevity of the film and the lasting protection of the silage.

How do quality silage films differ from conventional silage films?

Quality silage films are designed to meet the specific requirements of modern agriculture. They offer greater tear resistance, UV stability and are available in different sizes and thicknesses to suit individual needs.

Can I use silage film for purposes other than silage storage?

Yes, silage films are versatile. In addition to silage storage, they can also be used in biogas plants or as a tarpaulin. Their robust nature and weather resistance make them an ideal choice for various agricultural applications.
