Why should I switch from traditional net wrap to Net Replacement Film (NRF) given the higher initial cost?
The ROI is driven by reduced dry matter loss. While NRF costs approximately 20-30% more per bale, it reduces spoilage by 5-10% through a superior oxygen barrier. For a commercial farm, the value of the preserved silage far exceeds the incremental cost of the film. Additionally, NRF creates higher-density bales, saving approximately 5% in transport and storage space.
Is your NRF compatible with my existing baling equipment?
Our NRF is engineered for universal compatibility with all modern "Film-on-Film" (FoF) capable balers, including brands like McHale (Fusion 3 Plus), Kuhn (i-BIO+), Krone, and Pottinger. We provide standard widths (1280mm/1380mm) to ensure seamless integration without mechanical adjustments.
How does your 5-layer technology differ from standard 3 -layer films?
The 5-layer co-extrusion process allows us to isolate specific functional resins. We concentrate ultra-high-strength polymers in the core layers for puncture resistance against stiff stalks, while placing high-tack adhesives in the outer layers for an airtight seal. This structure allows for a thinner yet stronger film (e.g., 19μm performing like a 25μm 3-layer film), optimizing cost per bale.
What is the UV stability and shelf life of the wrapped bales?
Our film is fortified with high-loading HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers), providing guaranteed UV protection for up to 12 months in high-radiation environments (tested up to 160 Kly). This ensures that bales can be stored outdoors through a full season without film degradation or nutritional loss.
Will the film freeze to the silage or break during winter feeding?
No. Unlike net wrap, which allows moisture to penetrate and freeze silage into the mesh, the smooth surface of our 100% Virgin LLDPE film prevents ice bonding. The high elongation rate (>70%) ensures the film remains flexible even at -20°C, allowing for clean, one-piece removal during winter feed-out.
