The client for this collaboration is a farmer operating a medium-sized livestock farm. Given Namibia’s arid climate, grass storage is paramount to the farm’s operations. Consequently, he sought a silage bale making machine to assist with silage production.
Initially, he was quite sensitive to the product’s price. After in-depth discussions, reviewing our extensive case studies in the African market, and learning about the spare parts package we provide, he ultimately chose the 55-52 model fully automatic baling and wrapping machine.
Core configuration of this silage bale making machine
For African field operations, we equipped this unit with a high-performance power kit:
- 18hp electric-start diesel engine: Powerful and robust, with one-touch start capability, enabling independent operation even in remote, off-grid pastures.
- Integrated battery charging system: This key feature won the client’s approval, ensuring the power system remains in optimal condition during extended operations.
- Compact body design: Dimensions of 2135*1350*1300mm, combined with an overall weight of 850kg strike a balance between stability and transport flexibility.
Turn machine performance into profit
The client’s initial price concerns were resolved once we analyzed the ROI (Return on Investment) based on the silage baler machine’s high-output technical specs:
- Rapid production: This TZ-55-52 silage bale making machine processes 60–65 bales per hour, delivering an impressive output of 5–6 tons/hour.
- Superior density: Achieving a density of 450–500kg/m3, the bales weigh between 65–100kg. High-density baling is essential for superior fermentation and long-term nutritional preservation.
- Cost-saving consumables: With a low plastic net consumption of only 2.5kg per ton, the machine significantly reduces daily operational expenses.
Why choose Taizy as silage baling machine supplier?
The Namibian client’s final decision to order was based not only on machine specifications but also on trust in three key areas:
- Established African market presence: We provided localized proof of success with case studies from Sudan, Kenya, and South Africa, proving our machines thrive in high-temperature and dusty environments.
- Complimentary spare parts package: We included a core wear-and-tear parts kit with the machine, addressing customer concerns about downtime repair costs and significantly enhancing the product’s perceived value.
- High cost-performance ratio: The 1.1-3kW wrapping power supports 3-phase electrical switching, flexibly adapting to existing farm power infrastructure.
Customer feedback
The 55-52 model baler-wrapper is now operational in Namibia.
“The high-density bales (550×520mm) facilitate forklift handling and stacking. Silage stored this way exhibits minimal nutrient loss, effectively addressing the farm’s dry-season forage gap. While the initial investment seemed substantial, its efficiency and accessory support make it well worth the cost.” — Feedback from our Namibian Partner.
