Fodder is one of the essential parts of a bale, and it helps protect the crop from early damage and prolongs the growing season. The type of hay you use depends on the type of crop. While some hay is recommended for softwoods, some types of hardwood will burn more efficiently and should be treated with a different type of hay. There are three different types of hay-like wet logs, dry logs and slash-and-burn, and each one is applied for different situations.
Dry logs are those that are not wet. They have had the bark removed, making it lighter, more porous, and easier to ignite. Silage used on wet logs goes through a unique process before it is put into the bale. As a result, you will find silage wraps being used on some plantation farms.
SilageWrap net wrap has the advantage of having high UV permeability, making it suitable for sun protection. In addition, this type of silage wrap has UV-resistant adhesives and bead blasting to improve penetration. You can also opt for annealing to increase the resistance to abrasion and heat.
Silage wraps with low density, but high quality is often called slash-and-burn. The sheets are fragile, but they are tough and resistant. Some farmers opt for this type of bales, and they may reuse the sheeting if they are not being used on another farm. However, many farmers consider it wastage to purchase a new sheet every few years. They are also better off recycling the lower density sheeting by reusing the plastic bags that the bales were packed in.
Low density but high-quality UV resistant fibre is called ASTM or astatubland. This type of low density but high-performance fibre was initially developed for use in the U.S. military. The UV resistance is so high that ASTM for urethane (otherwise known as tar paper) has higher durability than conventional tar paper, making it an ideal choice for packaging.
Astm is made from polyethylene, and it has a strength-to-weight ratio similar to high-density fiberboard. Low moisture, tear and puncture resistance makes it an excellent silage wrap film. It is straightforward to cut, although it takes a lot of practice to get the right angles. It also means it can be easily damaged when exposed to heat, although this comes with the advantage of having a longer shelf life when stored away.
A silage wrapper is a lightweight, waterproof, and breathable product that allows easy handling, especially processing and shipping. It means it is suitable both for use in processing plants and in the home by consumers. Although, in the case of the sun, it has a slightly lower reflectivity index than ordinary tar paper, and it is advisable to place the bales inside an enclosure during storage to prevent sunlight from penetrating.
Farmers are finding a range of advantages to using these clear wraps as they have been saving money by reducing operating costs and being more environmentally friendly. However, it is still essential to make sure you’re buying the best materials for your specific needs. It is where retailers and manufacturers can offer specialist advice. For example, if you’re looking to save on shipping costs, you should order your Silage Wrap. In addition to cutting down on delivery costs, you’ll find that when you’re prepared with the best information for your needs, you’ll be able to produce quality products and services and increase your chances of increasing your market share.
