The right silage baling and wrapping material directly affects forage quality and storage life. Taizy supplies two binding materials and one wrapping film for round silage bales: plastic net, rope, and silage wrap film (also called grass film or stretch film). Each product comes in two roll sizes to fit your baler.

Getting the net-to-film ratio right is key to airtight fermentation. For 3-layer wrapping, a standard 1:5 ratio means one roll of plastic net per five rolls of silage film. Get it wrong, and you waste film or get poor sealing—either way, the silage spoils.

Silage Baling Materials: Plastic Net & Rope

Plastic Net — Modern Binding

Taizy’s plastic net is a PE baler net built for fast, tight binding. It needs only 2-3 turns per bale—about half the work of rope—and cuts feed loss by up to 50%.

Key Features of Plastic Net Bundling

  • Faster binding: Just 2-3 turns per bale—faster than rope
  • Standard length, strong build: New PE with a tight weave—durable and wind-resistant
  • Tighter bales: Hold shape in strong wind and cut feed loss by up to 50% vs. rope
  • Easier feeding: Film and net come off in one piece—no need to unfold the net

Best Applications in Silage Grass Baling Machine

  • 50-type & 70-type round balers (550×520mm bales & 700×700mm bales)
  • Long-term silage storage (6-12 months)
  • High-moisture forage baling
  • Commercial and large-scale operations

Rope — Traditional Binding

Taizy’s rope is a 3-strand natural fiber twine built for round silage balers. It pairs with the 50 type and other small round balers and comes in two roll sizes.

Specifications of Rope

Key Features of Rope

  • 3-strand construction: Provides reliable tensile strength for round bale binding
  • Natural fiber: Fully biodegradable, eco-friendly disposal
  • Standard sizing: Compatible with most 50-type and small round balers
  • Cost-effective: Lower upfront cost than a plastic net

Best Applications of Rope

  • 50-type round balers (550×520mm bales)
  • Short-term silage storage (under 6 months)
  • Dry hay baling
  • Small and medium farms

Silage Wrapping Materials: Silage Film

Taizy’s silage wrap film (also called grass film or stretch film) is a PE film that seals bales airtight for anaerobic fermentation. It keeps silage fresh for up to 2 years.

Key Features of Silage Film

  • Strong and tight: Won’t loosen, even after long storage. Low light transmittance keeps heat out.
  • Oxygen and water barrier: The sticky surface seals the bale and creates an anaerobic environment inside.
  • Better fermentation: Boost feed palatability, intake, and softens straw for easier feeding.
  • Thick and tacky: 25 μm thickness with strong adhesion—holds shape through long-term storage.

Best Applications of Silage Wrapping Film

  • All Taizy round balers with wrapping function
  • Long-term silage storage (1-2 years)
  • Corn silage, grass silage, and high-moisture forage
  • Outdoor and indoor storage

Net-to-Film Ratio Guide in Silage Baling and Wrapping

The net-to-film ratio shows how many rolls of plastic net you need per roll of silage film, depending on the number of wrap layers. Use the table below to plan your orders.

Wrapping LayersNet: Film RatioExample (100 bales)
2 layers1:4~0.4 net roll / 1.6 film rolls
3 layers1:5~0.5 net roll / 2.5 film rolls
6 layers1:6~0.6 net roll / 3.6 film rolls

Layer recommendations by storage duration:

  • Short-term (under 3 months): 2-layer film, ratio 1:4
  • Medium-term (3-6 months): 3-layer film, ratio 1:5
  • Long-term (6-12 months): 4-layer film, ratio 1:5 to 1:6
  • Extended (1-2 years): 6-layer film, ratio 1:6

Storage & Handling Tips

Red de plástico

  • Keep the net properly tensioned during baling
  • Cut net cleanly—ragged edges tear easily
  • Recycle used net—it does not biodegrade

Soga

  • Store in a dry place—moisture causes rot and weakening
  • Replace rope if it frays or shows wear
  • Use 2-3 wraps per bale for secure binding

Silage Wrap Film

  • Overlap film by 50% for full coverage
  • Check the film for holes before wrapping
  • Store rolls in the original carton away from direct sunlight

FAQs of Silage Baling and Wrapping Material

What is the net-to-film ratio for silage baling?

The standard ratio is 1:4 for 2-layer wrapping, 1:5 for 3-layer wrapping, and 1:6 for 6-layer wrapping.
This means one roll of plastic net is used for every 4-6 rolls of silage wrap film, depending on the number of layers applied.

How many bales can one roll of plastic net wrap?

Taizy plastic net comes in two sizes: the small roll (1500m, 70cm wide) wraps about 220 bales, and the large roll (2000m, 50cm wide) wraps about 280 bales.

How many bales can one roll of silage film wrap?

One roll of Taizy silage wrap film (1800m, 25μm thick) wraps approximately 80 bales with 2 layers, or approximately 55 bales with 3 layers.

What’s the difference between rope and plastic net?

Rope is a natural 3-strand fiber twine—biodegradable and lower cost, best for short-term storage.
Plastic net is a PE mesh that binds tighter with just 2-3 turns, cuts feed loss by up to 50%, and holds up better over long storage.

Can I use rope with the 70-type baler?

The 70-type baler is designed for plastic net only. Rope doesn’t have enough stretch for the larger 700×700mm bales and may break during baling.

What is the thickness of Taizy silage wrap film?

Taizy silage wrap film is 25 μm (25 microns) thick. This thickness provides strong tear resistance and high viscosity, ensuring the film stays tight and does not loosen after wrapping.

Do you offer customization for silage film?
