Silage Plastic Products We Offer
We cater to a wide range of silage storage and baling needs across Australia, providing tailored solutions for diverse farming operations and climates. Whether you’re managing high-volume contract baling, on a commercial feedlot or storing seasonal silage on a family farm, we have the right product to meet your requirements.
We use only premium-grade raw materials under ISO:9001 manufacturing standards to ensure our film, net and twine products all meet our intended standards.
Silage Wrap Film
Used to wrap bales tightly, sealing out air and moisture for optimal fermentation. Available in both 5-layer and 7-layer manufactured films to match the task and material at hand as well as storage durations. Designed to maintain required stretch rates, puncture resistance, and airtight protection over time.
Silage Covers
Ideal for covering silage pits and bunkers. Our black and white silage covers are UV-resistant, weather-tough, and available in a wide variety of sizes to suit any layout. Whether used on flat bunkers or stacked piles, these black and white silage covers form a reliable barrier against oxygen ingress, rain, pests, and light. Want even better results with pit silage? Speak to us today about our EVOH Oxygen Barrier Underliners.
Net Replacement Film (NRF)
Ideal for modern baling operations seeking to enhance speed and efficiency. NRF replaces traditional net wrap, improving oxygen sealing while reducing labour and rewrap time. Offers excellent bale coverage and stack stability. New modern combi baler / wrappers are increasingly being manufactured to be compatible with NRF. And the quality of the silage that ‘film on film’ produces is undeniable.
Baling Twine
Strong, durable, and engineered to suit a wide range of baling machinery and crop types. Our baling twine is ideal for us with high-density baling, big square and small square baling as well as old school round baling applications. Our twine range will provide long-term, secure storage.
Product Applications
Silage plastic plays a crucial role in various agricultural storage practices. Our high-performance films and covers are used across a wide range of applications, ensuring maximum protection and quality retention at every stage of the feed storage process.
Ensures airtight sealing of forage bales, preserving vital nutrients and preventing spoilage.
Acts as a weatherproof barrier, maintaining anaerobic conditions in bunker silos or trench silage systems.
Safeguards feed stored in open yards or silos from rain, UV rays, and contamination.
Minimises the risk of mould, heating, or nutrient loss caused by oxygen ingress.
Acts as a robust barrier to prevent animal intrusion and withstand the harsh Australian sun.
Our products are compatible with a wide range of feed types and storage methods. Whether you’re baling or wrapping wrapping lucerne, clover, maise, sorghum, ryegrass, cereal crops or pasture silage, our plastic solutions will assist your operation’s specific requirements. From intensive commercial operations, dairies and feedlots to smaller-scale family farms, our silage plastics offer unmatched versatility and dependability in the field and on the ground.
Importance of Using Silage Plastic
Using high-quality polymer raw materials in silage plastic is crucial for proper performance and behaviour of the film in its role preserving feed, enhancing livestock productivity, and improving overall farm efficiency. A good silage plastic acts as a first line of defence against spoilage, contamination, and the harsh Australian climate, making it one of the most essential tools in modern forage conservation.
When silage is wrapped or covered properly, the internal environment remains anaerobic, which is crucial for maintaining the fermentation process that preserves nutrient content and palatability. This has a direct impact on the overall health and productivity of livestock.
By preventing oxygen ingress, silage plastic helps preserve proteins, sugars, and digestible fibres in your feed. The result is high-energy forage that supports strong animal growth and optimal milk or meat production.
Spoiled or mouldy silage leads to significant losses, both financially and nutritionally. Silage plastic forms a protective barrier that keeps out air, water, insects, and vermin, all of which contribute to feed spoilage and mould formation.
Good-quality wrap reduces downtime when wrapping through tearing and breakage, which means less time spent rewrapping or double handling damaged bales. This translates into smoother workflows and labour cost savings.
Healthy livestock begins with high-quality feed. Properly stored silage results in more consistent rations, better digestion, fewer health issues, and improved weight gain or milk yield. Inconsistent or poor feed can lead to digestive upset, reduced productivity, and increased veterinary expenses.
Silage plastic allows you to preserve excess forage during periods of harvest abundance and store it safely and securely for leaner months. So feed availability across seasonal changes, improve overall farm planning.
By reducing feed spoilage and improving resource efficiency, silage plastic contributes to more sustainable farming practices. Less waste means better returns on your crop investments and a reduced carbon footprint.
Investing in durable silage plastic ultimately leads to more consistent farm outcomes, lower costs, better animal performance, and peace of mind knowing your feed is protected from the elements and time-tested to perform.
Tips and Tricks When Using Silage Plastic
Want to get the most out of your silage film or cover? Follow these best practices to improve wrapping efficiency, enhance silage quality, and maximise your investment in every roll.
Time is critical after baling. Wrapping bales within two hours of baling significantly reduces oxygen exposure and ensures ideal fermentation. Delays allow moisture variation and microbial growth, leading to spoiled feed. Fast wrapping helps lock in nutrients and stabilise pH levels early.
Incorrect machine settings can result in insufficient film stretch or over-tightening that may lead to tearing. Ensure your wrapping machine is correctly calibrated for the film you’re using. Consistent tension ensures proper cling, compression, and air exclusion from the bale.
Don’t skimp on film layers. A minimum of 6 layers at a 50% overlap is recommended for best preservation methods, especially for large bales or in regions with frequent rainfall. Heavier bales or silage with higher moisture levels benefit greatly from extra coverage, improving the oxygen barrier and minimising edge damage.
The storage site should be free of sharp objects, sticks, and debris. Lay bales on smooth, level ground, ideally on a layer of gravel or dry soil. Avoid stacking in pyramid formations, as this puts undue pressure on lower bales and can cause deformation or punctures. Instead, stack in tight rows with good ventilation. Be aware of vermin and act quickly if you notice any evidence of animal activity affecting wrapped bales integrity.
Wind, rain, and UV rays can all compromise the integrity of film. Always wrap in calm, dry conditions when possible. Avoid storing bales near tree lines, fences, or structures that could puncture or tear the wrap.
Australia’s intense sunlight can quickly degrade non-stabilised plastic. Always choose UV-stabilised silage film designed for Australian conditions. This ensures your bales are protected throughout the storage period up to 12 months—without risking wrap breakdown or feed exposure.
With these practices in place, your silage will retain its quality and nutritional value, enabling your livestock to thrive and your operation to run efficiently.
