Haylage film

Haylage film - the basis for successful ensiling

The haylage liner forms the basis of the silage covering system. Applied directly on top of the silage mass, just below the bunker film, it acts as an oxygen barrier that restricts the access of air. It is an essential step to aid the fermentation process and improves the quality of stored silage.

The film for covering a silage heap, e.g. maize, is the main protective layer of silage against external influences. With suitable weather resistance, the heap film provides long-term protection and minimises feed losses.

Key features of agricultural haylage film from Wimar

• Effective oxygen barrier - silage films effectively limit the access of air, allowing optimal fermentation and improving silage quality.
• Weather resistance - the prism film withstands fluctuating temperatures, precipitation and intense sunlight very well thanks to its UV protection. The underlay film, although thinner, also shows high resistance to mechanical damage.
• Flexibility and perfect adhesion - thanks to its flexibility, the stretch film for wrapping haylage adapts precisely to the shaped heap, minimising the risk of damage.

Dimensions of silage film by metre:

Stretch film:

• Width: 5 m to 7.5 m
• Length: 15 m to 20 m
• Thickness: 22-25 microns
• Layers: 5-7

Backing film:

• Length: 50 m
• Width: 6 m to 10 m
• Thickness: 40 microns
• Layers: 3

Prism film:

• Length: 33 m
• Width: 6 m to 14 m
• Thickness: 120 microns
• Layers: 3

Why choose a combination of underlay and prism film?

By choosing both silage films, farmers can minimise forage losses, improve silage quality and increase the efficiency of the entire production process. It's a solution that guarantees high quality forage throughout the season and allows silage to be stored for long periods without fear of degradation.
